Would be nice to get a status update on the hallways since we are in the 3rd quarter. The end of the year with all the non-working holidays will be here before we know it. I need the gym for health reasons and would be disappointed if it were further delayed given they'll be juggling the construction and sales of new units. Does anyone know?

Hopefully, the local trash problem will be addressed before it is finished.

I hear my downstairs neighbor's ceiling fan rocking. 

I am bummed the gym isn't more of a priority as it was a huge selling point.  Is there a sign up sheet for the peloton? What are you charging? Kind of kidding:)

Hi Lily - I have the same curved wall. I am going to do a wallpaper on the adjacent wall, but not sure what to do with that wall.

Thanks for all the helpful and insightful responses. I don't really think we need to address culture or comparisons from other neighborhoods in Manhattan. I've lived and visited many metropolitan cities within the US and globally and it varies. The situation here is pretty bad.

I did call 311 and file a complaint of chronic littering and left a message with the councilman. I was told by his office that they use private funds to do one pick up a day already. Not sure about this. I agree about the trash cans not being adequate. Helpful to know that there used to be more.

I researched this online. It would be helpful to be included in getting new trash cans as one step. Especially, given we are at crossroads of transportation and at "Diversity Plaza". The neighborhood needs to be cleaner.

I like the idea about the article addressing the issue. I will also contact friends of diversity plaza. If everyone who is concerned and tell their neighbors and file complaints with 311 and call Councilman Dromm for assistance in solutions, fines, trashcans, speaking to business owners, policing, 718-803-6373

I will reach out to those who mentioned solutions and connections.
