I wouldn’t be so quick to label one email from ST management a “resolution.” Clearly, they just don’t want this story all over the media, which is why they suddenly recanted their no photography policy after they were exposed on Lux Living and this website.

“how dare they enforce a “rule” by rudely barking orders at tenants without first sending letters to each tenant informing them of the new rule and/or clearly posting signs”

Welcome to Stuyvesant Town. They make up “rules” as they go along and provide tenants with ZERO information.

There are rules for dogs yet only ONE sign on the complex (on a playground!?).

There are rules for disposing of furniture though tenants haven’t been told what they are.

Now there are rules about photography and in typical Tishman Speyer fashion, security goes after the easy target, a lady photographing her friend.

Tishman Speyer’s Stuyvesant Town MGMT has the reverse Midas touch. They make a mess of everything they touch and are clueless as to why people despise them so much.
