the owners of 10 jay are not georgian jews rather orthodox american jews. the no longer sell electronics, and everyone should know that the owners of this building are huge in real estate and own over 1,500,000 square feet in manhattan and more in jersey!! their no joke and they’re nice people, i dont get it when people critisize them, i do perfectly fine. o and to the commenter that said the place looks like its gonna fall any minute, thats wrong cuz they’ve passed every inspection and will continue to do so! they’re good people, pay your rent and you’ve got no problems.

There are offices up on the ninth floor right now. We're in a corner office and there was a lot of dust falling from the ceiling before they stopped work, the office next to us had a computer crushed from a large piece of the ceiling falling onto it.

Yeah, no doubt. This building looks like it’s going to fall down any minute.

the orthodox jew slumlords of that place are not exactly geniuses – they’ve been carving up and destabilising that big hole for years – thru sheer greed. slice and dice and rent more little hovels. if you have a space in there – you obviously don’t care about your equipment and health or that of any employees.

I had a place up on the ninth floor for three years. No idea if it’s fragile structurally, but yes, it does rain dust and some larger debris occasionally. It’s annoying and somewhat dangerous if you start thinking of slabs of concrete falling on your head – which, though minor, is definitely a statistical possibility – I still have a picture of a large piece that fell right next to one of my colleagues when he was walking in the corridor.

Some Georgian Jewish immigrants own this building. They run an import business on the 7th floor, selling Asian karaoke boxes and other cheap electronics. They’re not really real estate folks but are aware they sit on something valuable. The building could certainly be put to better use but is currently in a mild state of disrepair — the elevator, for instance, breaks down every month or so, with people trapped inside and other similar everyday 10-Jay-Street shenanigans.

They started work on the roof a few months ago. One of our neighbors, some designer folks, filed a complaint with the city about the noise and subsequently got an eviction notice from the landlord. Was quite an odd story!

The floor got flooded once some months ago because some plastic bags blocked the drainage on the ceiling. The folks at 901 lost all their equipment and got into an argument with the landlord.

Also, heard of a story from another tenant that an acquaintance of the landlord was walking around, posing as a city inspector and asking people if they had any complaints. Talk of Soviet tactics! Then again, this last one is a mere rumor, so cannot corroborate.

I’ve also heard of the rumor of them wanting to convert the place into condos. Good luck to them. We certainly had nice views!

Hope I didn’t come across as resentful. Cheers.

Makes no sense. Landmarked buildings need approval from the Landmarks Commission for any significant change.
Either it’s not landmarked, this isn’t happening, or DOB has blatantly ignored the law.

I wish they convert it to condo’s.
Best views , yet best location in New York. I have the bucks and would love to own a piece of that prime real estate. Imagine so close yet so far.

All posters here are loosers. Either get a job, or a life.
