In AMERICA. AMERICA. I think New Yorkers like to tout the safest city in the US stat, but now inflate it to the world.

NYC is highly dangerous compared to any other major city in a developed country.

Like I literally can walk around in Taipei, in any neighborhood, and I will not be robbed, have my stuff stolen, beat up, or be victim of a violent crime, or any crime period.

I don’t know the percentage, but a large amount of townhouses were converted to multi family rentals from 60s onwards, so that owners could collect rent. Often times configured as an owners unit and multiple rentals.

That’s also when many stoops were removed in favor of ground level entrance.

However, in the last 20-25 years, it’s been going the opposite direction, and multi families have been converted to single family.

Townhouses are really rare and coveted.

If a rule is so bad that a significant percentage of the residents do not follow it, then I would say that the rule shouldn't have been in place anyway.

Also, you must be fun during the civil rights era.

I’ve only lived in condos, but I know that coops generally have way stricter rules. I do know of condos that only allow service staff to use service elevator though, it really depends on the board.

However, asking owners to use service with dogs is not that common, at least among new buildings. As almost all new buildings are dogs friendly, it’s until the actually board forms that they might modify the rules.

Except that’s not true for the vast majority of high end condos in the city. I’m talking stuff like One57 or any number of Stern buildings.

Maybe that’s the case for coops as I’m not familiar with them.

The person isn’t correct whatsoever. I’ve literally lived in, been to, or looked at, the most expensive buildings in NYC. This isn’t a thing, or at least not a common thing.

Not true whatsoever. I’ve lived in a bunch of luxury buildings, visited a ton, and also house hunted in multiple buildings. That’s from 56 Leonard, to One57, to 432, to Jardam. Only letting dogs be in service is not a common thing whatsoever.
