Hey! I used to live in that building, moved out in August. Can you try pushing back on parking and see what they say? I paid $50/month for parking. I may have been grandfathered in to a lower rate b/c I moved in 5 years ago, but $150 seems crazy given that the garage is not secure (several residents have has cars broken into in the garage) and is super dirty. They lost a ton of long-time tenants (like me!) under the last management company so they may be willing to negotiate with you. You might also consider reaching out to current residents to see what they pay/if they’ve negotiated; there’s a Facebook group (the new 2022 one) that’s pretty active.

Hello! Thanks so much- this was really helpful!! They’re justifying the parking increase to ‘make it consistent’ but I know no one was paying more than $100. They are just raising it because they can, and you’re totally right, it’s not even a nice garage. I called and they lowered the parking to $125, but not much of a help and wouldn’t budge on anything else. Great idea about the Facebook group- I don’t have one but will reactivate just to check. The people I e causally asked in the building have mentioned they’re not going to renew, so maybe come May they’ll lower it. Thanks again!!!
