Discussion about 133 West 28th Street #2B
I went down for this open house today, but when we got there, it apparently had been cancelled. Does anyone know any more about this building, other than maintenance seems a little steep or seems to have increase by about $100 a year over the last 3 years. We also went to an open house at 327 W 11th, but it was too small, about 450sq ft. I could manage the 5th floor walkup but the apartment was just too small for $779k or so asking. There were 3 other people at the W11th St open house, and the first question asked by all of us was for square footage. The agent said that they could not really say because it would be difficult to measure, and what with all the built-ins, it would not do the place justice. So they decided to say that they did not know. Strange.

Well apparently the poor broker on the W28th St apartment was unlucky as he said that "the owner had guests staying in the apartment who bolted a lock on the door" to which he did not have a key. Hence open house was ruined.

In trying to understand why maintenance would be high ( <$1400), I presume it could be because of an underlying mortgage that was refinanced or something similar? I also saw mention of smaller buildings (this is one, with <25 units) having less resources to fight city tax increases. Could this also be why maintenance increased by 35% in 3 years?

Any thoughts on maintenance levels and how this compares to other small coops in west chelsea? Thx.

It seems pretty reasonable to me - about $1.50 per square foot. Low on amenities, but not a lot of units in the building.
