Q. The super in my midtown condo doesn't move if you don't give him tips every time.
When I give my favorite doormen tips, they always ask me not to give it to them when the super is around because he always wants a cut.
When I needed to replace my old appliances in the kitchen, if I didn't buy it from his dealer friends, who pay him a commission, he wouldn’t allow our in-house handyman to help install and he even locked my installer outside the building and wouldn’t let him in.
Last night’s Park Avenue rally by doormen and other apartment building workers drew about 7,000 marchers according to the NYPD, yet it sometimes felt more like a team-building event than a simmering revolution.
Wearing black-and-purple union baseball caps, many workers brought their families along, which added to the largely peacable vibe. They blew union-issued whistles and waved signs that protested “givebacks” and demanded a fair contract when their current one expires next week.
Dear Ms. Demeanor,
We live in a relatively small co-op building with six apartments per floor. Recently, one of the largest apartments on ours sold to a very wealthy couple who happen to be fine art dealers.
