With all of the possible repairs needed around the Chelsea Hotel the first item on Andrew Tilley’s agenda is to inspect all fireplaces and chimneys. Gee isn’t it funny that he waited until the end of November to do this. Heat in many rooms is sporadic at best as many contain tiny radiators and drafty 125 year old windows. Because of this, a number of residents have to depend on their fireplaces for a valuable source of heat. Shutting them down on the eve of what promises to be a very cold winter is simply not an option.
For a lot of tenants, using an electric heater is not an option either as the wiring will not support them. How about an upgrade on the 125 year old wiring system of the building. We think that this a much more pressing problem than the fireplaces. Although the Chelsea has periodic fires the fireplaces have never caused even a single one while the electrical system has been implicated in several.
Tilley has claimed repeatedly that he will repair residents rooms if they have problems and bring them to his attention. For the most part, he’s been pretty much all talk in this regard. Therefore, we propose to start a list of repairs that need to be carried out in the tenant's apartments in this building. We would appreciate your help in this regard. Please send us a list of any repairs in your apartment that you feel the management undertake. You don’t have to tell us your name or your apartment number if you don’t want to our plan is to send this list to the HPD and see if we can’t get some real repairs around here, instead of these fake ones designed to harass people.
