I love how the vanity is already damaged. The bathroom does look pretty nice though.
Very important point about the vanity, make sure it gets fixed
I know it’s probably a little bit unfair since these promo photos are likely from the model unit which may be thrown together in a way the others are not but there are loads of minor examples of shoddy work in most of these interiors posts. Gaps and ill fit tile work… the tops of the cabinets are out of alignment… Crappy caulking. Maybe some of these things are corrected in the other units – then again maybe not. I’m always surprised though that any developer would be okay with these obvious fit and finish red flags, especially when they are appearing as advertising for the project.
And no, I do not believe this is an example of being too picky. If anything the construction standards in this fair land of ours is not picky enough.
I don’t think the vanity is broken. That part of the drawer doesn’t come out because that’s where the plumbing for the sink is
This isn’t affordable housing!
This is INCOME LINKED HOUSING FOR UPPER INCOME PEOPLE, not the low or middle income people that desperately need this housing.
This is a sad joke .
The millionaire developer used the NYS Taxpayer subsidy 421A to build at At 130 percent of the AMI, five one-bedrooms with a monthly rent of $2,739 for incomes ranging from $93,909 to $156,130, and six two-bedrooms with a monthly rent of $3,223 for incomes ranging from $110,503 to $187,330. New leases get two months free rent.
So here’s the thing. While I agree with you that we desperately need housing at a much lower AMI, we also need a lot of housing at this level.
Here’s the rub, the folks who can rightfully afford the rents above are essentially the backbone of NYC’s economy. Middle to Upper Middle-class folks simply cannot afford to live in NYC either. So what happens is these folks get pushed out further and further and become the much-derided “Gentrifer” when in fact they are just looking for an apartment they can afford so they don’t have to leave the city with their families.
We need to create an incentive program that produces housing on all these levels from the absolutely lowest AMI to the middle-class levels. It shouldn’t be a zero-sum game, one type of housing at the cost of the other.
hooray
someone made an intelligent comment, instead of bashing me for pointing out the obvious that this isn’t affordable housing but income linked housing for upper income people.
It’s a really sharp looking building—I like the sconces! Well done, Diego Aguilera!
