I went out this AM and i saw my bldg supers (husband wife and son) moving stuff out of their apartment and loading into a U Haul. I think this is the real thing because a few weeks ago i saw my landlord showing some people what needs to be done ("lawn has to be mowed...")
i am devastated because while i didn't know the supers that well, i felt so comfortable with them, seeing them working early in the AM when i would leave for work, and i just felt very secure with them, especially because i don't have many people to look after me and both parents are gone. not that they "looked after me" but i just felt secure if you know what i mean
theyd been here since 2007, a time period that included the passing of both my parents
i remember back in 2002 in my old place we had gotten a new super. for some reason he didn't care for me and wasn't very accomodating to me when i moved out ("move your stuff out before 5, we got people coming in")
I just hope the new supers will be as cool as these people were
incidentally, i noticed that one of the people the landlord was showing the building to was a Hasidic Jewish person. I don't know if this was the new super but curious, is it common to see Hasidic or Orthodox Jewish supers? I am of the faith myself but I'm not Hasidic or Orthodox
now i don't know if this is true. a neighbor in one of the private homes is having a garage sale and i see the super and her son over there. maybe the moving truck had something to do with this garage sale
The first super in my bldg. died of cancer some years ago and the bldg. got a new super. Things have changed but we have the same porter who helped during the period while there was no super for a short time. (While the first super was ill, he had relatives help out so the bldg. still had good service during that time period.)
So I don't see the changing of a bldg. super to be a big issue.
