Yes. Lucky there's no penalty if it runs over a stipulated time.

also lucky that you are not paying a fee for elevator use with staff, an insurance policy for potential damage in addition to stated damage deposit, significant limits on hours where work is allowed with stated penalties. Ah, the joys of home ownership in the Big Apple.

My condo charged about $500 for the processing fee; security deposit was either $2500 for minor renovations or $10,000 for major renovations.

That is very resonable. I had one client who hd to pay $500 a month for each month of renovations. That was not a deposit. Just a fee.
