75 Wall St-FLOORS SQUEAK & WINDOWS LEAK

Is your toilet seat working? If not, I have a great attorney for you.

Good luck with that.

HRH Construction was the general contractor for 75 Wall Street, and is now in bankruptcy.

FYI, HRH Construction is heavily influenced by the Genovese crime family. Taken from a deposition from Salvatore Gravano:

"I know an individual named Danny Pagano, a Genovese associate, who is a powerful force in the construction industry and represents the Genovese Family's interests in Local 59. In the mid-to-late 1980's, I met Pagano in the lobby of either the World Trade Center or the Vista Hotel. Pagano also has strong ties to Local 104, another Local that the Genovese Family exerts influence over, and HRH Construction, a company that the Genovese Family exerts influence over."

That money is loooooooong gone.

You're rich (certainly rich enough to have been able to afford an apartment in the building in the first place). Hire your own contractor and fix it yourself. You'll save time, money, and aggravation in the long run.

While NYCMatt has made an excellent point- you didn't enter into a contract with the general contractor, you entered into a contract with the sponsor.

Chances are your neighbors are having a variety of problems. The first step is to organize owners and start tracking all the problems- see if there are any common links. Chances are the general contractor and/or the sponsor cut corners in a lot of places and you might want to consider hiring an engineering firm to take a look at all problems and further to analyze the offering plan to what was delivered. Depending on what the engineering firm comes up with might help you determine the next steps.

While NYCMatt's research clearly shows there is no money there (typical bust out)from the GC, there still is the sponsor and the insurance companies. Regardless, I doubt it would be an easy fight.

I would be reluctant to pay to fix it myself before finding out what else is wrong with the building. If you fixed your apartment yourself prior to knowing all of this info-you might wind up paying for it from your own fixes+ an assessment later on. If the problems are isolated to your unit, you can try to fight the developer, but you might just have to pay for it yourself.

I am hiring an expert from the National Wood Flooring Association to come and perform a comprehensive inspection of my floors. Once I have his report I will be contacting other residents of 75 Wall St.so that they may benefit from what I learn.

from the back of the theatre - might be short/shorter money to just fix it yourself - might being the operative word.

How bad is the water damage? Care to post a photo? Did the water get to the floor, and now some boards are warped? How many spots "squeak"? I haven't seen the inside of 75, so I'm not familiar with the flooring, but chances are it's the kind where you can just replaces a couple spots for next to nuthin.

Anyone else think it's a bit weird that Transit name drops a inspection firm?

I agree, suspicious.

So I guess the floor board problems have nothing do to with aboutready's toilet seat?

Don't spend much on your wood flooring specialist- since you mentioned others are having problems, chances are you will need to hire an engineering firm to evaluate the building. The engineering firm will wind up covering the wood floors in their inspection- and you will have effectively paid twice for the same inspection.

Thanks for the advice semerun, I will certainly take it into consideration. As far as name dropping that was not my intention. The National Wood Flooring Association is a non-profit trade association not an inspection firm. I am hiring a reputable expert and I am bearing the cost alone. I am not advocating that anyone else hire a flooring expert and I am certainly not attempting to "steer" anyone to hire any particular individual; hence no name of any specific individual is mentioned. There are two reasons that I started this thread; 1)To create awareness and hopefully educate others who are contemplating buying an apartment at 75 Wall St. as to the problems that I am experiencing 2)To reach out to existing owners of apartments and let them know that if they are experiencing similar problems they are not alone. The wonderful thing about a blog like this is that it helps potential buyers and existing owners by creating awareness as to problems that exist.---To answer some of the the other questions posed above; the floor makes "popping" and "squeaking" noises in numerous spots, not just a few, and yes the water has leaked onto the floor.

squeaky floors usually means that the subfloor/concrete underneath is not level, ie air gaps where the squeaks are. Usually the only way to solve it (short of ripping out the floors) is to nail down the air pocket to the concrete or drill a small hole, inject with a bonding agent, and grab something heavy, let it sit on top of it and have it dry. As to the window leak, hopefully the leak is local to your window as this would be an easy fix (caulking around the windows usually does the trick). If the leak is elsewhere and it happens to drip down to your window, then its a bigger problem.

I'm a potential buyer of the building, how do ppl like it so far with respect to the building, neighbors, neighborhood?

In regards to the neighborhood I think it's terrific. The people are great, there are plenty of places to eat, there are numerous subway lines close by, the neighborhood is clean and safe. In regards to the building itself it is not for me to say whether someone should purchase an apartment or not. That is strictly a personal decision. I can only state from personal experience that I am having what I consider to be major problems with both the floors and the windows and I have heard that I am not alone.

not sure why but seems like problems with flooring is a common theme.

Just a blind theory here.

Are the floors solid wood or laminate?

If laminate the planks may be glued to the concrete, which could prove difficult if the concrete is uneven. The "popping" sound could be the sound of glue releasing the plank as it is stressed by walking on another point on the floor. Laminate floors can also be floated, in which case there would be a soft feel to the floor when walking on it and planks would be free to expand and contract with changes in relative humidity. Again, if a floating laminate floor is applied over an uneven surface there would be movement and noise.

The fix would be to remove the wood floor and apply a leveling compound, which is poured directly onto the concrete.

How much would it cost to replace a few blocks of parquet flooring? Is that really worth suing over?

This city is way too uptight.

Just checked out a photo of a studio for sale in 75 for sale ($1500 a square foot? Hahahahhahahaha!) and it looks like planks. Very nice, but not at that price.

After I have a nationally renowned expert come in and inspect the floors in my apartment, I will notify all existing owners at 75 Wall St. as to exactly what the experts findings were. I will also post an update on here so that prospective buyers might benefit from the information as well. While the experts findings will only be in regards to my particular apartment, I have received information that there have been problems with the floors in many other apartments and rooms in the hotel, so the information should be helpful/useful to others.

Read this brickunderground.com article, "As 'young' condos spar with developers, suing my be a PR blunder" for some ideas.
Link:
http://brickunderground.com/blog/2010/03/young_condos_vs_developers_is_suing_a_mistake

I read the article wavedeva. While I do understand that negativity publicity about problems in a building can potentially hurt property values in the short term, once a developer corrects those problems (whether the developer is forced to correct them due to a successful lawsuit or the developer corrects them of their own volition because it's the right thing to do),once the repairs are completed, positive publicity should just as easily raise values in the long term. For instance, someday when I want to sell my apartment at 75 Wall St., my potential buyer will either come in and walk around on SQUEAKY FLOORS or they will come in and walk around on properly installed floors that are SQUEAK FREE. I feel that it's better to address problems head on from the start rather than bury one's head in the sand and make believe they don't exist. I was informed by a reliable source that the floors at 75 Wall St. were installed under less than perfect weather conditions. I had a representative from the Hakimian Organization (Mr Justin Gorjian) come to my apartment, confirm that fact, admit that they were aware of the problem, and state that although they were aware of the problem they had to do it anyway (lay the floor) because they were late on the construction schedule. Mr Gorjian informed me that there were similar problems with the floors in the hotel rooms (The Andaz Hotel)as well. He subsequently arranged for workers to come into my apartment to attempt to correct the problem using the injection/glue method. They drilled holes in the planks and injected glue but this method proved futile as there were too many problem areas and in my opinion the holes (which are in the middle of the planks)looked terrible. At this point in time, I feel that having an independent nationally renowned expert come in to inspect the floors is my best option. I will then be publicizing his findings and notifying all the other owners.

Transit, with all due respect, i think you are out of your mind. you have just broadcasted to the world there are problems with 75 wall that have gotten so out of hand you had to write about them in a blog. and why do you have to drag out the name of every person that has been through your apartment looking at the floors.
If i were even remotely considering buying at 75 wall i would run for the hills!
you could have resolved this 100,000 different ways bit you elected the most damaging... i wonder if you are for real or someone with an axe to grind with this building.

Bubbles has hit the nail on the head. I previously bought in a new construction building where the workmanship was distinctly sub par in places. We made a concerted effort to get the owners together and sort out the problems without anyone mouthing off about it on blogs, in the newspapers (remember them!) etc. You achieve nothing by airing your dirty laundry on a blog, the sponsor is not going to read it and suddenely take it upon himself to fix all the problems. All you have done is create problems for anyone in your building who ever wants to sell.

In response to the previous two comments. I did not mention the name of every person who came to look at my apartment. It has taken months to try to obtain a resolution to the problem concerning my floors and quite frankly there has been a parade of people that have been through my apartment. I named and quoted one particular person (a representative of the Hakimian Organization/the developer) because it gives credibility to what I am writing here. If I wasn't real, I wouldn't be able to name or quote anyone. As I stated in one of my earlier comments, I believe that publicizing problems that exist in a building (while maybe uncomfortable for some and potentially damaging to apartment values in the short run) will have a positive effect for all involved in the long run. As far as "dirty laundry", I don't consider writing on this blog to be airing out "dirty laundry." I consider it to be an open and honest discussion of the facts and I believe that such an open discussion is extremely important for both existing owners and potential buyers. In the case of potential buyers it could save them from a lot of aggravation. In terms of existing owners, if they do happen to have the same problems, it lets them know that they are not alone (potential class action lawsuit). As far as the newspapers that might be a very good idea as the discussion would reach a much wider audience.

I am very happy you live at 75 wall

I think Transit is doing the right thing - there are hundreds of owners in the building and I am sure many of them read this blog - there is strength in numbers. This is a good way to reach them. Also, I am sure representatives of the developer and corcoran (the sales agent) read this blog. Transit has clearly spent a lot of time trying to work with the developer 1 on 1 with limited results. Perhaps by taking his/her problem public, the developer will be more likely to fix the problem rather the risk the adverse publicity. While an owner may see some short term adverse effect to airing his/her grievances, I imagine Transit is planning to live in the apartment for quite a while so by the time he needs to sell his apartment, this won't matter. The developer has much more to lose if word of problems gets out (especially if it continues to fail to resolve the problem).

@ Transit By giving you a link to the article, I did not mean to imply that I disagreed with your tactics. I try to solve problems from a 360 degree viewpoint so read/look/listen at information from all sources. In fact, I agree with your tactics because I've been there, done that. I have owned four condos in two states and sadly the common factor in all of them was the inability of the board to address maintenance and/or construction problems in a timely manner--even small ones. At a former Boston condo, one trustee yelled at me because I secured an ~ 5 foot piece of metal awning that was literally flapping in the wind endangering pedestrians. The fact that I reattached the serrated piece of metal so it wouldn't cut anyone did not impress this trustee. He was more concerned that I "exposed our condo to liability" by fixing a dangerous situation on another property and leaving a note for the building's owner (injuries be damned!). Meanwhile, this same trustee was not concerned that a multimillionaire was not paying the condo fees for his former sugar baby's apartment because although he owned it, his agreement with the sugar baby was that she would pay the condo fees. So giving interest free loans to multimillionaires was O.K., trying to prevent injury was not. Go figure.

Anyway, back to your problem. The first condo that I owned had a mold problem around the window area. All the apartments in one line of the building had biological experiments growing in the walls. I brought the mold problem to the attention of the condominium's board of trustees expecting them to take action. They didn't. They didn't want to spend the money. To make matters worse, only 2/8 apartments in the "moldy" line were owned individually (I was one of the 2 owners). The rest were owned by a family trust fund. The trust representative was on the board and he didn't want to spend the money to undertake the structural repairs to fix the problem (repoint brick, install new weepholes, fix the roof, etc.). Long story short--I had to take the trustees to court (took ~3 years). I did and I won. The judge was most impressed by the video evidence I insisted my lawyer submit. Meanwhile my lawyer was content on having me pay megabucks for an expert witness on construction methods. Numerous people told me to cover up the problem and just sell the apartment. But like you, I took responsibility for fixing the problem. Years after the trial, I actually received an apology from the head trustee.

Consequently my advice to you is to get time-stamped video (make sure the sound quality is good) and photographic evidence. You need to have documented evidence of the various before and after conditions. Hang tough.

I plan on selling my current condo and buying a house because it's apparent to me that the way I would like to have a building managed is at odds with most co-ops/condos boards (for the record, I have been a board member).

"I plan on selling my current condo and buying a house because it's apparent to me that the way I would like to have a building managed is at odds with most co-ops/condos boards (for the record, I have been a board member)."

Condos are generally not as well-managed as co-ops.

Matt, can you elaborate?
Transit, while i understand your frustration i totally disagree with your methodology...but that's what makes the world go around. Or i am told that.
Please let us know how that works for you.

"Matt, can you elaborate?"

Co-op boards have a greater degree of control over who gets into the building in the first place, as well as having a more integral authority in the running of the building.

I respect your opinion wavedeva because it can readily be ascertained from what you have written that you are someone who has "already been there". I want to thank you for taking the time to impart the valuable knowledge that you have gained from your experiences as the owner of not one but four condo's, to me. I wholeheartedly agree that documentation is vital to proving a case/winning a lawsuit and you can be rest assured I will spare no time nor expense in documenting the flooring problem in my apartment. As to the issue of publicity, former Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis was quoted as saying..."Sunshine is said to be the best of disinfectants...". With that in mind, once I gather all the necessary documentation/evidence it will be time to forge ahead and "LET THE SUN SHINE IN" so that others may be made aware of the exact nature and potential scope of the flooring problem. As far as litigation is concerned, should it be necessary, I am extremely optimistic as to the outcome. I understand that developers sometimes adopt a policy of attempting to increase profits by cutting corners in certain areas during construction to save on costs. While providing a sub-par product to people isn't morally right, a developer can nonetheless laugh all the way to the bank if in the end they do provide a sub-par product and only a few people demand that deficiencies be corrected. From a strictly dollars and cents standpoint the developer comes out ahead given the aforementioned scenario. In a case, however, where sub-par workmanship is brought to light and numerous people seek redress, that same policy of attempting to increase profits by cutting corners to save on costs could very conceivably end up backfiring and costing a developer millions and millions of dollars. This is what is often referred to as "being penny wise and dollar foolish". In respect to the installation of the flooring at 75 Wall St., it is my opinion that the developer was "penny wise and dollar foolish." Simply put, sometimes it is more cost effective to do the job correctly from the start than to have to go back and do it all over again. I can guarantee one thing and that is I will not go away. As for anyone else at 75 Wall St., if you happen to read this thread, and you happen to be experiencing the same problems as I am, we need to organize. To quote Dylan Thomas, I request that you, "DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT..." I have already had conversations with other owners who have expressed their frustrations to me so I know for a fact that I am not alone. I believe it is vitally important especially at this stage that we make a concerted effort to organize and demand that any common problems that we are experiencing be addressed in an adequate and timely manner by the developer/Hakimian Organization. While there are undoubtedly problems, there are many wonderful things about the building, and I definitely do not regret buying an apartment at 75 Wall St. I look forward to the day however, when the "elevator talk" in the building can be characterized more of as that of happiness than what I would currently characterize as that of "frustration." In closing, I would just like to advise all potential buyers to be aware of the flooring and window problems and inform all existing owners that as soon as I get the findings from the flooring expert that I have hired, I will be sure to publicize them.

Unlike transit i am not going to disclose my building but out the floor company. We have horrible problems with the floors and for the most part the sponsor is being decent about fixing them. It must be costing them a bundle and in a different market they would be better to just give everyone a credit to go out and get new floors. The company is Eastside floors and they did a HORRIBLE job, and when they come to fix it- HORRIBLE job. In addition to doing a horrible job they are hours late when they have an appointment to inspect the floor and you get a big story about what went wrong. what went wrong is they do not know how to install floors!!!!
If i were the sponsor i would be ready to strangle the guy that runs the place as this has to be a living nightmare!

I hope more owners in this city have Transit's fortitude to expose problems in their buildings. I was considering buying there at 75 Wall Street until I read this blog. I can just imagine how costly it will be to take all his / her / their furniture out for repairs, not to mention moving out for a few days. I guess any prospective Manhattan Apartment Buyer must do their research so as not to buy anything connected to the Hakimian Organization.
Hey, what about the Real Estate Broker Corcoran. If they knew / know about the defective floors, they are also liable for damages. They could also lose their Real Estate License if they fail to disclose any defect they are aware of. Good Luck TRANSIT

Aboutready can assist with any class action lawsuits.

TRANSIT :how bright are you? You are a n injured party by virtue of the shoddy floors perhaps $20,000 damage? By broadcasting the situation;you may realize the following success:Maybe you will discourage sales in your building;potentially injuring your position by 20-30% of your purchase price.Though you may win a Pulitzer ,you may end in the 'poor house' poor boy.Look up discrete,as an option.

Let me ask you jrw293... If your Toyota accelerator is defective, you should not broadcast your problem because it will lower the value of you car ??? Come on man, because a developer sells you a defective product you should just roll over and take it up the whazoo ??? It looks to me that TRANSIT has rock solid principles that will not waiver. Too bad there aren't more people like him. God Bless TRANSIT

Another thing jrw293.... TRANSIT has the name of the developers rep. that he attempted to quietly resolve this with. What do you suggest when the developer fails to correct a problem. To quote John Belushi in "1941", " Did we surrender when the German's attacked Pearl Harbor ? "

Maybe the Hakimian Organization should learn a lesson from Toyota. How much do you think they will be paying out because they ( allegedly ) ignored a defect.

In response to jrw293; Borrowing from Panama Jack's analogy; If you owned a Toyota and had knowledge that the accelerator was defective; Would it be right to keep quiet about it and sell the car to someone else, knowing that they could possibly get hurt? By failing to disclose a problem with an apartment, a car, a product, etc. of course you can sell whatever you are trying to sell for a higher price than you could otherwise sell it for if you were honest and disclosed a defect. In my case, the floors in my apartment squeak and the windows leak (a far cry from getting injured in a Toyota but still important to me). I have chosen to use this blog as a forum to make prospective buyers aware of these problems and to let existing owners know that if they are experiencing the same problems that they are not alone. If you are suggesting that I should be "discreet" to protect my property value at the expense of others, I just don't happen to agree with you. As I stated previously, while I have undoubtedly experienced problems, there are many wonderful things about the building, and I definitely do not regret buying an apartment at 75 Wall St. If I injure my position by 20%-30% (as you claim I will jrw293) but I save others from having to experience what I have experienced, then I feel publicizing the problems is worth it.

Just another response to jrw293. I believe that an open and honest discussion of the facts is the best option for solving problems. If and when the problems with my floors and windows are corrected, I can guarantee you that I will be the first one on this blog letting everyone know. I am genuinely looking forward to that day.

@jrw293 Let's not forget the obvious fact that if you hide a major defect while selling an apartment, the buyer can come after the seller. If I remember correctly my one business law course, a buyer could claim fraud--which in some instances may result in punitive damages. Consequently, it is best for Transit and anyone else in the condo with these structural problems to fix them. And preferably as a group.

TRANSIT and other residents of 75 Wall. My friend is considering renting at 75 Wall, and is curious about the makeup of the residents. He is a retired 50-ish person relocating back into Manhattan. He's slightly concerned that it could have a high percentage of young wall street, post-college residents who may make for challenging neighbors. Any insights or observations about the general population at the building? Thanks in advance.

@TRANSIT Also wanted to add that I hired a structural engineer to examine my window problem before I sued the condo's board of trustees. The engineer told me what the obvious problems were (i.e., no weepholes in the brickwork ); he stated he could only work with the board of trustees since the repairs involved common areas. Just wanted to give you a heads up in case common areas are involved in your repairs. Best.

floors are joke at 75 wall.
really cheap and laminate. not even assembled well.
wall between condos are so thin that you can hear when TV is playing in condo next to you.
tiles and kitchens are done bad. you can see it was not an American labor involved.
through vents you can see when your neighbors are having sex at night or when the baby is crying. real bad construction. all owners at 75 wall know it. its just facts

Note to NJShore...not my experience at all. I am a resident...good soundproofing and construction meets all expectations. The part about vents and seeing neighbor"s sex is nuts.

I think NJSHORE is saying that non-union labor was used. Personally, I think that is a good thing - I hate unions (lazy bums)! I don't live at 75 Wall but seriously looked into it - NJSHORE is full of it. The floors were very nice 5 inch wood planks. Everything I saw was first rate. I can't speak for the noise, but if Catch22 lives, I trust him/her.

guys i bought it i know what i am talking about. catch22 is broker or sales guys in the office

yes building is full of mexicans workers. they paint walls on the weekend. every owner at 75 wall can tell you that.

FYI: catch 22 is Miky, the sales agent at 75 Wall

Hey Catch 22. If there is nothing wrong with the floors and construction meets all expectations why were there workers in the SALES OFFICE on Friday June 4th, 2010 with saws, crow bars, mallets and buckets of glue ripping out sections of the flooring and replacing it?

Looking to buy at 75 Wall- anyone on this board live there? I went thru the nonsense at 20 Pine so the floor/window/construction thing doesnt bother me. Thx!

Just got an ad from 75 Wall claiming they sold $14 million in 4 months. While the the recorded closings on streeteasy don't support that, I suppose they could have sold a bunch at the end of the year that have not yet made their way to streeteasy. However, even if it is true, that is a dubious distinction. $14MM in 4 months is $3.5MM a month, or (based on average list prices) about 3 apartments a month (twice the rate the current closed sales on streeteasy show). At that rate, they will sell the entire building in another 4.5 years. I'm not sure I would go bragging about that (assuming it is true).

I used to rent at 75 Wall. Whoever is considering moving there, don't. The apartments look very nice but they are very cheaply constructed. And good luck getting anything fixed. Quite a few of the tenants had serious problems with their units, mostly involving flooding. I didn't have those problems so I got lucky but when I moved out they took out a lot of money as "damages" from my security deposit for the things that were never in good condition in the first place. A lot of things were glued on in the apartment and would just fall off from time to time. I guess they used the wrong kind of glue (the cheap kind). Also, the roof looks really nice but they rent it out almost every weekend.

@Transit: I am considering to buy a unit at 75 Wall, have the problems you encountered with the floors and leaking been resolved to date? Much appreciate other owners' update too.

I'm an owner and have had no problems at all with floors or leaks. No complaints at all with my investment.

To quote John Belushi in "1941", " Did we surrender when the German's attacked Pearl Harbor ? "

This quote is actually from the movie Animal House, FYI...

so what's the deal with this building - has it essentially gone rental?

"No complaints at all with my investment."

And how is that "investment" doing?

As of yesterday, my kitchen ceiling has fallen in, my living room is leaking, and so is my master bedroom. I was told it's because it raing a lot over the weekend. Hmmmm.... a 2.5mm apartment shouldn't leak when it rains -should it? Good thing I was not out over the weekend as I often am - the volume of water that infiltrated my home is just incredible. My floor don't squeak!

Any updates on this development? Has the developer addressed the problems?

I just got a letter stating that the building has been sold and transferred to new ownership.

What.
A.
Nightmare.

Watch for major price cuts. I bet the bank forced the sponsor to sell at a major loss thus wiping out its equity. The bank likely took a hit too. There was no way this place was going to get the prices it has been asking.

Its amazing how many issues this building has. I have lived here for over a half year and have encountered a plethera of issues with faulty appliances and mechanical issues. The air conditioning/heating in wall units area constant complaint among the tenants with many, including myself, going days without heat in the winter and cold air in the summer. The window leakage problem always appears during heavy rainfall and requires constant monitoring to prevent excessive water damage.

By the looks of it, I am not the only tenant who believes the building is falling down in front of them. Does anyone know what can be done to address these collective issues?

columbiacounty squeaks and leaks

AzureWolf can you send me a copy of your letter?

How horrible for the current owners there in many ways! Does anybody know if the new owner of the bldg. would be liable for the construction quality problems of the previously-sold units? If not, the current unit owners are really in trouble...

75 Wall is very nice, but it isn't exceptional in any way to justify their original pricing. I know somebody who bought at the Setai in FiDi, only to see the remaining units being offered at a 30% discount. It looks like the new developments in up-and-coming neighborhoods like FiDi, Harlem, etc. are really struggling.

so what about now ??? are thing better ?

I have been living here since Hurricane Sandy, so I can't attest to things before that. However, a new property manager has taken over - apparently right before the story - and things actually are really smooth. I've lived in several other luxury buildings in the city and have high expectations and I honestly have no complaints. I've used the roof multiple times without problems - even had my own party up there one night. The people who work here couldn't be nicer and even though I own, maintenance is always willing to help out with the occasional thing that needs fixing. I was nervous to buy given all the reviews, but we really looked into things and so far (fingers crossed) we are really happy with our decision.

Since I've bought last fall, I think there have been about 20+ closings and the feedback I hear is that things are looking up. Maybe this summer will tell, but the Elliman team seems to be doing a good job.

So I just thought I'd post since there seems to be so much negativity - the last 6 months has been great!

hi, there, any more updates? Transit, have your problems been fixed.

http://nypost.com/2013/11/20/high-fidi-luxury-real-estate-in-the-shadow-of-wall-street/

They should rename this building The C0lumbia C0unty because of the squeaks and leaks.

Is 75 Wall sold out? Does the Financial District on the east side have demand for another building? http://ny.curbed.com/tags/101-wall-street http://streeteasy.com/building/101-wall-street-new_york

Grow up and take care of your own problems without resorting to a blog. This floor issue is only an issue in your apartment. All the residents I know have nothing but great things to say about the building...but theres always that person who decides to find an isolated issue pertaining to their apt and actively recruit followers to rally around their pathetic cause. "TRANSIT" you are the desperate recruiter and "fieldschester" is the mindless follower.

The floors are beautiful and do not squeak and the windows don't leak...I've lived at The Apogee in Miami prior to becoming a potential owner at 75 Wall, so I think I have a good expectation of what luxury is. I ended up buying at The W down the street, but to see people talk nonsense about such a beautiful building is ludicrous. From a neutral point of view, this building was the next best in the downtown area that I went to look at apart from where I live now.
