Under the proposed law, large Co-Ops would be on the hook for not only acquiring the dumpsters but gaining approval from a separate city agency to install the dumpster on the street. It is also unclear how this would actually make the rat problem better. But what is clear is the unjust and prohibitive financial repercussions that buildings like ours would face if the law became a reality.
Artem supported: Safeguard the Affordability of Co-op and Condo Homeownership in New York CityThis is a ridiculous financial and spatial burden. It makes no sense for the wealthy owner of a single family townhouse/brownstone to get bins for free, but owners in coops and condos have to pay $55 per apartment per year.
Also, where are we supposed to keep these bins?? I live in an 18 unit walk up building on the UES. Most of the trash and all recycling bins are down the steps under the front steps. Our super hauls out bags of trash and recycling from there to the street (where he must now come back after 8 p.m. instead of at 4 p.m. to do so thanks to those Adams rat regulations). Is he now supposed to drag or lift a garbage pail up these steps to the street?
And we could barely find room down there for the newly required compost bin, which is getting buried by people's cardboard boxes waiting for the one recycling day of the week!
Whoever comes up with these ideas should walk the streets of the city to see how impractical their ideas are.
Donna supported: Safeguard the Affordability of Co-op and Condo Homeownership in New York CityThe unbelievable amount of bureaucracy and irresponsible costs the city has imposed on its residents has made the cost of living in a small and ever increasingly expensive apartment unbearable. Continuing down this road will lead to an unsustainable exodus from this city. Between the cost of living and relatively debilitated state the city is in, there are very few reasons to stay here.
