Hello,
I recently moved into Gateway and have been trying to understand the exorbitant electric costs. I’ve been speaking with the electric company, reviewing historic data, and comparing to market rates. From the electric company, it seems the electric heaters we have are quite problematic in this climate (increases cost 2-4x when temperatures are 40 degrees or below). It appears the units we have are a mismatch for the building and region we live in. What would be the steps to replace these with more efficient and effective units?
More generally, in 2025, it’s a bit horrifying to see the environmental rating of the building be so poor. We could easily decrease tenant and building costs while simultaneously decrease environmental harm by making modifications to the building. Given the continued climate change, it’s clear this will become more important year by year, so addressing it sooner than later would be beneficial financially and functionally.
Is this something that has been discussed previously? What would be a forum where we could bring this to management attention? Please let me know if this is not the correct group to address this issue or if someone else should be included.
You guys might have a marketing issue. Are there any people in the Gateway TA that actually represent the people paying the majority of the rent here, market rate tenants? It seems like this whole association is made up of crabby senior citizens, people on welfare and Karens who have been here 30 years and pay $500 for a $5000 a month 1BD apartment and still have something to complain about that has nothing to do with what the people paying for the building care about. Nobody cares about the gardening outside, how about gettign LeFrak to stop charging the rest of use like we have a mortgage on a million dollar home, just to pay for all you people’s ridiculously low rent?
