Sale at 1 Northside Piers #PH14

Toll Brothers considers "shoddy" to be a business practice. They always have, they always will. There are complaints throughout the US and going back many years about Toll.

They won't fix the problems, any more than they did with any of the other buyers.

It's laughable that they can still sell houses to suckers.

The only one worse is Pulte. Friends of ours had a Pulte in FL, and their windows literally fell out. Their neighbors windows fell out. It was pretty amusing.

Why does this require multiple posts of the same article?? One post would suffice.

No such thing as "overkill" in a WAR with Toll Brothers!

Your neighbors must love you declaring war on their resales.

At One Main the very soldid group of Board of Members who negotiated a settlement with David Walentas, One Main developer, worth in excess of $1,000,000.00 to settle claim the owners had against him arising out of defective construction. The lawsuits had been waged in both State Supreme Court as well as the Attorney General's office for several years prior Board spent a very large sum of money on engineers and attorneys. The lead negotiator was a owner, a brilliant District Attorney General for several years prior Board spent a very large sum of money on engineers and attorneys. The owner, a District Attorney, was the lead negotiator with Amish Patel, Walenta's representative. One Main received $700,000.00 in cash, and Walentas did repairs worth in excess of $300,000.00, as well as turned over to the owners a Hugh physical space they used for a new storage space room and bike storage. The building turned from one with no financial reserve and serious leaks, to a financially and physically healthy building. Sales had been practically frozen during the pending litigation, and they resumed robustly once the settlement could be reach. Hence why should anyone listen to your off-putting post and officious statement. You obviously don't know how to proceed with helping yourself or neighbors.

You are a NSP resident? what damages do you think the developer needs to reimburse you for?

"No such thing as "overkill" in a WAR with Toll Brothers!"

Yes there is, loser. If you and your dumbass neighbors were stupid/desperate enough to buy Toll Brothers construction, you reap what you sow. KEEP IT TO ONE FUCKING POST and stop spamming our damn boards with your pathetic whiny buyer's remorse.

Read the One Main street post. Educate yourself, and do your homework instead of using hostility. There are clinics, self help groups and psychotropics for your off-putting and officious narratives. If you still can't comprehend the post then be thankful you were put in "special education."

Dude, on one hand I sympathize -- but...come on, man. Posting this multiple times doesn't do anything for you, and significantly increases the chances that all of your posts will end up deleted. Post it once, we'll all see it.

I'm not a professional, but i think this dude has a multitude of issues which likely extend beyond toll bros

Rivas 77 your correct your not a "professional" so you don't have a license TI "think" you have the mutitude of problems writing a off-putting and officious post. Your post extend beyond your knowledge of Northside Piers Tower I problems. "Mind your own business!"

    Re:  The Board of Managers of NSP Condominium 1        
To the members of the Board,
This letter is a formal communication to the Board and all shareholders of the Northside Piers Condominium Tower 1. At this time, it appears that certain aspects of the buildings problems may fall under the jurisdiction of the New York State Attorney General’s office.  The following summarizes many of the outstanding issues, prior to the soon to be released engineer’s report, that may warrant the AG’s office taking up our case against the sponsor, Toll Brother’s. The issues laid forth here are not warranty issues and thus appear to violate the AG’s standards for determining if a condominium’s prospectus can be certified. For example:  

1. Although the prospectus appears to be silent on flooring, the sponsor clearly advertised hardwood flooring and provided engineered wood that certainly is not equal to hardwood flooring.
2. Certification in the prospectus denotes that the sponsor has built to code. This is not the case, as there appears to be a lack of insulation throughout the building.
3. The windows were supposed to be engineered to the type and location of the project. The windows have caused widespread problems regarding air and water infiltration and no remedy, to date, has been forthcoming.
4. The prospectus, to the best of my knowledge and belief, was to contain a B1 schedule of individual unit’s monthly projected electrical bills, which include both heating and cooling. The B1 schedule was missing and thereby failed to properly inform prospective shareholders of the utility costs that they may incur.
5. There also appears to be issues with the design, installation, and/or function of the bathroom duct system. There seems to be poor motility, as air is not being sufficiently pulled into the duct system. This is resulting in excessive dust and condensation in the bathroom area and thus raises the specter, over time, of mold growth. Was this issue investigated by the engineers report? Are all aspects of the ducting system and fans, throughout the building, up to code?

6. Both the tower and townhouse foundations have groundwater issues that are of a continuing nature and were not an issue expected by the buyer. Has the Board put the sponsor on notice for capital funding for the perpetual containment of this issue?
7. In regard to the heating and cooling system, it appears that HVAC units have been unnecessarily burdened by the simple fact that the building’s plumbing is not chilling or warming the water. This causes the HVAC’s to perform double-time to perform the utility that they are intended for. This unnecessarily raises heating/cooling costs and will wear out the HVAC’s in a more expeditious manner.  According to ConEd, across the board, homeowners in this building are paying excessive rates for utility services. Has the engineers report investigated this issue? Furthermore, regarding HVAC’S, certain homes were promised in the prospectus more units then what was given. This appears to be a deceptive practice that must be further investigated.
8. Although the building is only a few years old, the exterior cladding is already coming off and appears to be the result of inferior materials and/or workmanship. Also, regarding the façade, statements were made by Clearview Windows, which implicated the sponsor with poor construction of the building. Mr. Sturbridge stated that due to poorly formed concrete slabs, grinders and sledgehammers were needed to get the frames in and thus the buildings frames are out of square. This he states further compromises the functioning of the encased windows and overall air and water infiltration. Has the Board put the sponsor on notice for this issue and has the Board requested future capital funding for the repair and replacement of the substandard work and/or materials?
9. It is common knowledge that the building’s plumbing system has incurred numerous leaks and floods due apparently from faulty construction. Water damage has already caused mold problems in a number of units in both the tower and townhouses. Has the Board put the sponsor on notice for this issue and has the Board requested future capital funding in order to address this hidden, but lurking problem?

These and other issues, that may have been omitted or vary to a significant degree from the report filed with the AG’s office, will need to be directly addressed. Therefore, I am respectfully requesting, in writing, an acknowledgement of each of the heretofore-stated issues.

Penthouse 14
Sunday, March 6
11 am light Brunch
The owners of Penthouse 14, Marty Meekins and
Greg Misa together with their puppy Samson (the French bulldog puppy) will open their renovated home to their neighbors this Sunday.
Like many of you, Marty and Greg are experiencing significant air filtration and other problems. They continue to have serious problems with Toll Brothers as a result of it's shoddy workmanship. They fear, perhaps as many of you do that the waranty will expire while Toll Brothers makes excuses or only pretends to fix the problems Toll Brothers already knew about. Then we will be stuck with the bill.

Never Buy a Toll Brother's Corrupt, Fraudulent, Inspected Home!
WE WERE DEFRAUDED BY TOLL BROTHERS AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE UNDER DOCUMENTED PICTURES OF APPROVED CODE VIOLATIONS, FRAUDULENT INSPECTIONS, DECEPTIVE ADVERTISING, FRAUDULENT INSPECTIONS, PUBLIC CORRUPTION, INTIMIDATION, CONCEALMENT OF DEFECTS, AND CODE VIOLATIONS AS A PUBLICLY TRADED CORPORATION TRADED ON THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE! 
Never Buy A Home From Toll Brothers Until You Ask                          
A.  Ask the sales representative showing you the home, if you are in fact purchasing a Toll Brothers home?
B.  Ask the sales representative if you decide to buy, who should the check be made out to?
C.  Ask the sales representative if you have a problem after settlement and decide to sue, are you actually suing Toll Brothers?
D. Ask the sales representative prior to signing the Agreement of Sale, are you in fact purchasing a Toll Brothers home as advertised in numerous marketing campaigns which induced you to buy?       
E.  To make sure that you are getting the true added value of the home for sales incentives as advertised, please call Robert Toll, the CEO of Toll Brothers and ask him if he said the following in an interview on CNBC.  "When we hold specials, which are not really specials, but just some reconfigured incentives to make it look as though something special is being given away".
If you have already executed an Agreement of Sale, did you purchase it based on the fact that it was advertised as an actual Toll Brothers home, when in fact it may not be.  You may be one of the thousands of innocent buyers who were "Deceived by Deceptive Advertising" and depending on your state, may be eligable to recind your Agreement of Sale.

I know nothing about this particular building or the company that built it, but let's just be clear that during the recent real estate boom, there was an orgy of building going on in NYC, and much of it was done by less than reputable contractors hiring less than reputable subcontractors who paid people as little in wages as possible and not surprisingly the money saved in wages has now been passed on to the suckers who bought these condos who will need to pay to have the shoddy work fixed. The developers and contractors made a nice profit, the apartments were sold at ridiculous prices, some families in Mexico got some remittances sent home from their relatives, and we will be reading stores about bad construction for years to come. Greed kills.

Common Sense post are post with information to help another renter or purchaser not your, one liner's rants. Read, think and remember it can be your mother, father, friends or you. If you have a legitimate understanding of others frustration then you wouldn't post officious and of-putting post. You want to add a post to help another individual fine. But if your gloating you may be the next victim.

@guest #50: What is difficult to understand is how or why Toll Brothers permitted this to happen in the first place as the company, to protect itself from lawsuits and its integrity should not have permitted this type of construction negligence to begin with, as every step in the construction should have been supervised and signed by the contractor responsible for adhering to the architectural drawings and their specifications and then the permits for the same. How can anyone be that stupid and reckless, especially as the buildings have prominence over the area in which they are located?
Looks as if everyone with a problem with his condo or building riddled with violations has better wake up and start filing their individual "NEW YORK ATTONEY GENERAL COMPLAINTS and lawsuits - and that means start NOW!!! BOARD members need to complied to protect "all" owners interest. Water, air, blowing out windows, boiler room was being used for storage, electrical extension cord through a handicap (Accessble Lift) to light a Christmas Tree, CGI water prevented Long Island City Company "waterproofing each individual's owner storage unit" giving a two year warranty for joist water and ground water infitration. The entire building can be condemned. Get more information on this to the "NEW YORK CITY ATTORNEY GENERAL;

I don't need a license to know that you might have a disorder referenced in the DSM.

You may have some good points listed in your never ending posts, and if you are looking for advice or support, you could have found it here, however your delivery is suboptimal at best.

I suspect you conduct yourself in a similar manner in other areas of life, and this may be why you have fallen short of achieving satisfaction with whatever issue it is you are bringing forth (drafty windows, french bulldog puppies or whatever the f you are ranting about)

good luck! i would bet your neighbors are dreaming of the day you move on

Your hostile shows a break in your personality. Yes, you do need a license for any type of diagnosis. Check with your health care provider. It's obvious your have a meltdown on legitimate issues that affect Northside Piers Tower I, 164 Kent Avenue, LLC. In life you never suspect anything but I understand you do. Your officious word usage suboptimal describes your posts. You use the adjective f* as it's in your vocabulary not mine. It's usage clearly denotes your agitated. Why? There was no ranting post but facts. Facts that a Toll Brothers employee such as Senior VP David Von Speckelsen, Senior VP Assistant Scott J. Arvam, Project Managers, Adam Gotlieb, Joe Fuentas (who does use the word rant) Mark Cordasco or the Sales Manager Teresa Ali.

You don't know me so don't suspect as your not of my ilk. Your officious statement is a clearly mirror image of you. Dream of the day you can help people in distress instead of being ulgy. Take your energy and re-channeling it will prove to be healthy. Good luck to you, your neighbors, your family, your employee and your health provider.

next carolSt will be back. oddly compelling.
