I'm thinking that West Chelsea has been improving in the past several years because of the High Line and attendant fancy new buildings. (Pre-pandemic, at least. I know lots of parts of the city have suffered since then.)
For current residents and/or others in the know: Would a location on Eighth Avenue or Ninth Avenue be preferred?
Also, would the southern part be preferred over the northern?
Never transferring to a building who has an entrance on 8th ave. Too many bums, too dirty, too loud, too crowded. I very much enjoy being closer to the High Line, Hudson River and Hudson Yards.
Southern or Northern? For those us closer to 9th ave, in a couple of years, it won't matter. All the buildings up at Manhattan West and offices opening in Moynihan station will make that area nicer. Plus the Morgan General Sorting facility is going to be redeveloped for offices, ground-level retail and a rooftop park/deck ( might be open to general public for special events)
A worker at Penn South Federal Credit Union was fired (she's also the daughter of a board member of Penn South...) and in an act of revenge deleted 21 gigabytes of mortgage data from PSFCU.
Wow, incredible! Thanks for posting that! This apparently happened in May. Here’s another article with details, now that we know that the credit union is Penn South.
I wonder why she was fired in the first place? And there’s been no statement from Penn South?

As the coop board members will be the first ones to tell you, the PS Credit Union is a separate entity and PS has no control over their operations.
Now that's out of the way, this story caused a stir within the PS group when it was posted last week. While it is a separate entity, my longtime neighbors mention there always been some cross-over between PS employees and the CU and it's been problematic over the years. And no one has been able to discover why the person was fired.
For the longest time the PSCU was the only lender willing to do mortgages for the coop, thankfully there are two other lenders that have better rates and better customer service.
As you noted, Dreamernyc, there is apparently crossover between the co-op and the credit union. This article confirms what supermarketsushi said, that the fired employee's father, Michael Barile, is on the board of the co-op. According to the article below, he held high positions, including chairman of the board, for several years and was a member of the oversight committee.

If you don't mind me asking, if you did get a mortgage, which lender did you worked with? I heard Emily from American Broadcast Credit Union was decent to work with? I see their rates are somewhat in line with the regular big banks. So that's a good sign!

ABECU- Emily was responsive. At the time, we didn't have the option UHAB and the rates for the PSCU were (and still) are high.

Oh, great info know! What about homeowner insurance? Is there a few to choose from as well?
