Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Chris V.):

all redweek.com TMC OWNERS:

this may sound like a JUDAS-INSPIRED commentary. if anyone sees it that way, they're wrong. here goes.......

i like staying at the MC. it's generally well-kept and offers a quick getaway for shows, events and sights in the greatest city in the world. parking is so convenient and inexpensive (by nyc standards). the employees that deal with owners are, for the most part, friendly and accommodating. i live in a nyc suburb, so i never go for more than 1 night at a time (per month), or possibly a saturday and sunday weekend. yes, i get desired reservation dates refused, but i am put on a wait list and either close-to-desired dates (or actual desired dates) become available. yes, again, i MUST PLAN WAY TOO MUCH IN ADVANCE for availability, a definite and a likely avoidable situation if TMC were managed honestly and without the BS SHAM created by eicher.

i empathize with other owners who have more unsolved issues than i have, especially those from a long distance away from nyc who can rarely get a desired week's reservation. that's pathetic.

my MAIN ISSUE (AND STRICTLY FROM MY OWN PERSONAL SITUATION) is the ridiculously exorbitant maintenance fees, vis a vis, about $3000 per week. the penthouse suites fees are proportionately higher. remember, at the fraudulent sales pitch we all attended (which schneiderman's undercover agents attended, observed, and taped) we were told that these fees would escalate ONLY SLIGHTLY over time. NO ONE IN HIS/HER RIGHT MIND CONSIDERS A 400% INCREASE, SLIGHT. (i mention schneiderman's plaudible tactic of using his undercover agents, but that CRIMINAL evidence got us owners NOWHERE, other than a nonsensical "SETTLEMENT"........FOR WHAT THAT'S WORTH. schneiderman may have been distracted by other issues while litigating the TMC/EICHNER case.)

so i join with others who have more relevant issues than i, that need to be resolved. my relatively lesser problem of getting maintenance reduced by at least 35-40%, however, seems to be one that we all have in common. i don't see how JMZ, esq could possibly handle the huge number of individually pertinent cases at one time. that seems ludicrous.
