		<description>Leon,  Cheap materials?  Gold and stainless trims?  I&#039;m sure you saw the place before you closed and moved in.  I guess you figured the &quot;gold and stainless&quot; wasn&#039;t too bad, you must&#039;ve had faith in that and hoped it will grow on you..just like that faith in the people you have.  I don&#039;t think made a bad call, gotta keep the faith.  
So what did you load up on last summer?  C @ $20 or GM @ $10?</description>

		<description>Leon,

FYI, your primary residence is not suppose to be an investment.  Anyone with a little investment sense will agree with that.  You made a poor personal decision as did many others in these pre-construction purchase agreements.  I think it&#039;s very immature for you to take your battle with management out on a blog.</description>

		<description>Leon,
I&#039;m sorry you&#039;re not happy with your apartment.  Based on other comments, your discontent with the building seems to be with your particular unit or maybe your expectations of a new construction condo is not aligned with reality.  No building is going to be perfect.  The disagreements seem to be personal between you and the building management.  Would it not be the best for you and the management to resolve the issues in person and not on a blog?</description>

		<description>Crystal has nothing better to do with her time
 
since i park my car in the parking lot in the basement crystal finds a need to harass me and my fiance at 9 pm on a weekday, she has the concierge ring us on the intercom and tells us that crystal says we need to move our car further up. just to let you know there are no other cars nor is there anything next to our car, so if we are parked within the yellow lines they have painted on the ground why would she tell us to move the car? what are we in the way of? the answer is nothing! she is just mad because other people saw my posts on www.dumbonyc.com and she actually replied to them under the name bridgeviewtower, people commented on how unprofessional that was of her and she is really pissed. i haven&#039;t posted anything since 12/22/08 and i thought crystal would wise&#039;n up, i guess she didn&#039;t and insists on continuing the game. oh well the game continues i guess? they are renting one bedroom apartments for 2600.00 per month, i wonder how much ill get for my 2 bedroom? another interesting thing my lawyer told me is i could hang out in the lobby on Saturdays and Sundays when they have the open house and start conversations with people and tell them about my blog, being that this is considered a common area crystal would not be able to do jack! imagine people coming in for the first time and walking in the lobby and here i am passing out flyer&#039;s? i think crystal would get a real kick out of that, don&#039;t you?</description>

		<description>discriminating against mexicans? playing the race card is very old, i call it like i see it, when you see the guy im talking about that wears the banadanna on his head have a conversation with him and ask him where he&#039;s from. maybe he&#039;s from honduras, is that all you get from my post? you asked why did i move in if i was having problems since march? the answer is &quot;faith in people&quot; and &quot;trust in promises&quot; i really think crystal is asking people to help her or your not really getting the big picture, if you bought an apartment then you can do your own research and find out that crystal is screwing all the people in the building with her &quot;rent with option to buy&quot; www.brownstoner.com lists our building as &quot;developer and owner&#039;s worst nightmare, unsold units have gone rental&quot; why do you think they say that? because anyone will tell you that when a condo building goes rental it highly affects investment and value of the said building. dont listen to crystals option to buy for the renters, its b.s. and ill tell you why, a girl from the 4th floor recently moved out of the building and had absolutly no recourse or issues with breaking her so called &quot;rent with option to buy contract&quot; the developer does this when they dont want to admit they cant sell units and runs out of money. ask your bank if its good for your investment if your building has gone more then 60 percent rental? dont listen to me just ask someone who is a pro in the field. you seem very optimistic but trust me you dont know the mentality of these penny pinchers, i deal with it everday and they wont change&quot;penny wise,dollar dumb&quot; thats what they are. the building is made of cheap and tacky material, gold and stainless? uh,, your clashing bridgeview! cheap gym equipment that wobbles when you use it, revolving door instead of a door man? you are all being lied to stop accepting there cheap bottles of booze and fake smiles, you all see what a dirty mouth crystal the owner of the building has. check out my blog:

		<description>Leon....I actually bought a unit in the buidling and have had minor problems. One of the knobs broke off of my stove but was replaced right away. One of my electrical outlets was not working and BVT had an electrician in the next day. I am quite pleased with the attentiveness of BVT management. It seems as though your unit is just PROBLEMATIC. 
Granted that the building was not fully occupied when you moved in quite a few of the amenities were not put in place. Now that the building is 80% filled I hope that BVT management will live up to their end of the bargain. 
I was actually going into contract with ORO (located on Gold street) and pulled out last minute. Since this was a big investment I wanted to make the right decision. For what is worth I do not have any regrets. If you look at ORO the building is empty. The funny thing is that seller was actually bad mouthing Bridgeview but at least they were able to find tenants.  

Yes, I would like to have a shuttle van instead of a Toyota car. I do agree with you that the hours for the shuttle bus do need to be extended to evening hours for the working individual. Yes, I would like to see a door man. 
These things take time but will eventually happen. 

You complained about the Mexican worker that cleans the hallways. Are you discriminating against Mexicans?? Whether it&#039;s a black, White or Asian worker who cares.....as long as the place is being kept clean. I have no problems with the hallways. You also have to keep in mind that people are still moving into the building. This may cause the walls to get scuffed or the floor to get dirty. I feel like your expectations for Bridgeview are far fetched. 

What I can&#039;t understand is that if you had a problem with Crystal before March why even move into the building?? I would have saved myself the headache and moved elsewhere. There are so many other developments in the area. 

I am  so sorry that you are DISAPPOINTED with BridgeView. I wish you the best of luck in selling your place. 

Signed,
