Funny thing is, the super asked me what ethnicity the person was, and I refused to give it. I didn't want to promote negative stereotypes, so I kindly disclosed the apartment number, footage was reviewed and the tenant was spoken to.

What we are all trying to tell you is that you keep posting this in the wrong thread. This thread is for Via 57-- not your building. Via 57 does not have a laundry room.

The super just informed me the tenant was spoken to and reminded that low class acts are not permitted. This includes taking the laundry carts into ones unit, dropping it like it's hot and lopsided lace fronts.

I'm glad he kept our bargain and kept confidentiality about who reported the incident of the stolen laundry carts.

You know what is funny it seems like everyone that got into VIA57 uses this forum. I've been reading / stalking all the different housing threads that mention VIA57 and more people said they signed leases than the number of apartments listed as available. LOL

For the person who was just smoking weed as soon as I entered the elevator, can you please stop?

I know who you are and I know what unit you are in. I saw what floor you got off on and which unit you entered. Please stop ruining it for the rest of us that are trying to live that upscale Caucasian dream. I am BEGGING YOU! I don't want to have to go the super about this.

Oh my goodness. I bumped into one of my neighbors and I immediately knew she was a lottery winner in the low income units. The Vaseline, grey sweatpants and hoodie said it all, and don't get offended. I am just being descriptive by providing vivid sensory details.

I casually strike up a conversation with her (you know...the HEY GURRRLLLL convo & WHATS POPPIN!) and one thing leads to another and she tells me she is a lottery winner. Even though I already knew based on her grey sweatpants, I just pretended I had no clue and said: I thought you were paying 10K in rent, GUURRRLLL. You seem like a high powered executive to me. And here you have me all fooled.

She tells me she won the lottery last year and she had a choice between 2 or 3 units. I understand that is when the lottery started so obviously individuals called in earlier would get a choice of some sort. I really regret taking the unit at the price I am paying. I am on the 2nd floor with a view of nothing. "There ain't no VISTA and there sure as hell ain't no VISTA of no VIEWS!" This is my first lottery and I wish I had someone to help me along the way. I was just so EXCITED and I didn't even bother to think. She is on an upper floor, but not that much higher, but I would trade places with her in a heart beat. No balcony either.

I should have inquired. I am going to fulfill my lease obligations and continue applying for other lotteries, and be smarter next time.
