This is definitely a thing. But I would say it’s certainly avoidable. My current condo has same rule. Weirdly you can’t walk the dog out of the front door (you must carry or go out the service entrance) but you can walk with your dog through the front entrance if you’re on your way into the building.
Don’t ask me why this a rule, it’s very dumb. I THINK their rational is, you’re dog needs to go out they don’t want it to have an “accident” in the lobby and they don’t want it peeing or shitting right in front of the building where doormen let people in and out.
Of all the doorman buildings (5 or 6 of them) I’ve lived in NYC over a decade, this is the only one that’s done this but it have seen apartments that do this

Reply to comment by TizonaBlu in "Even a $7,000 Rent Doesn’t Guarantee Dogs Get to Walk Through the Lobby" In some New York City buildings, the four-legged pets are not welcome everywhere. Their owners must carry them or use a service elevator. by CactusBoyScout
