Discussion about 1919 Madison Avenue #515
Any reason this has been sitting on the market so long?
I just want to know why, if the building has a "full time doorperson", why you need a "wifi-enabled video intercom".
Aaron. being double secured is a good thing.
Two things -
A) Mount Morris guys banging on drums every weekend
and
B) A lot of our copper wire intercom units no longer work (long story) so I think wifi is the future for all of this.
It was pretty hilarious when people moved into 2002 Fifth, the first "luxury" condo on Mt Morris Park, and suddenly they all started complaining about the drum circle that had been there since forever.
No less ridiculous than when people moved into 555 West 23rd and started complaining about the Strip club which predated them, or a young woman moving to Harlem and then making 311 complaints about the Mr. Softee truck jingle, or loft buyers on West 20th St complaining about Limelight, or Upper East Siders moving to the Meat Packing District and then getting New York Magazine to write a piece saying there were drug dealers with pit bulls which had their vocal chords removed so that you couldn't hear them coming.
Never heard the one about the pitbulls!? the drunk debutantes I used to see on 14th Street(meat packing) literally laying in the gutter, made me want to leave the neighborhood.
For some reason all the phones went out in 61 Jane St (remember when everyone had a land at home?) and when one of the residents went out to make a call at a phone booth he was shot and killed. Soon afterwards New York Magazine wrote this hysterically sensationalist article about how dangerous Way West Village/Meatpacking was.
W Village got pretty awful especially on weekends after crack hit.
