Yet More Fun At 184 Eagle Street: F**king FED UP!!!
(Formerly known as the Luxe Guesthouse)

OMG, the fun REALLY just doesn’t stop here at 184 Eagle.
Apparently, Sam Fruchter (the owner of the building, Best On Eagle) and a few tenants got into a huge fight about his lack of a valid Certificate of Occupancy and his continued attempts to rent apartments to more people than the fire code allows. The building has been illegally occupied for over 1 year.
He’s been quietly negotiating rock bottom rents with most of us, offering better units etc., to keep people who know what’s happening silent and honestly the price offered is better, but NOW I’m concerned. While searching for greener pastures (aka a new legit apartment), I found his newest POSTING while searching for new space in the neighborhood.
What F***king gives!!! — No matter how much we complain, no matter how much he says otherwise - He still continues to post ads on craigslist that CLEARLY and OPENLY state his willingness to SLEEP up to 6~ in a 2 bedroom apartment. ON CRAIGSLIST LONG TERM!!!! LONG TERM Miss Heather!!!
THIS MAN JUST DOESN’T KNOW WHEN TO STOP!!!! You CANNOT sleep 6 in a 2 bedroom – it’s against fire code…….He’s not even hiding it ANYMORE!!! Also, can 6 people even legally sign a lease in a new building that does not have a Certificate of Occupancy???? (check out the 3rd paragraph).
The six people disturbs me a little bit, BUT what REALLY disturbs me more, is his willingness to post it on Craigslist – IMAGINE how many he’s REALLY willing to allow to “sleep”, if he’s comfortable posting that on craigslist.
I don’t trust this guy. Now, I know for sure that he simply doesn’t care about the quality of life of his tenants. It’s all about the money. Look @ this ad Ms. Heather !!!! This apartment looks mighty familiar!!!
He’s working with two new guys*, but it’s the same CRAP, but NOW it’s LONGTERM! PLEASE call the telephone #Â and set-up your own “appointment” to fact-check.
NOW I AM REALLY OUT OF HERE, any one willing to sign a “lease” is not looking at the bigger picture!!!!
Sincerely Furious.
I have written about this property time and time again.

Nothing happens.
Same song, different verse. I wonder how long it will take the Department of Buildings to pick up the tune?

This makes me proud. In my three years of hammering away at New York Shitty, the fact this person took a screencap of said advertisement (which I annotated) made my trials and tribulations totally worth it.

I’m another resident in this building and while things have definitely been a rollercoaster for a while, I don’t believe it’s Sam or any of the building owners that are marketing this apartment. We have a rogue tenant who was formally subletting an apartment as the luxe guesthouse. Since Sam et al closed that little business down she appears to have started subletting her own place. We know this because residents and the building owners confronted her recently. The sooner this stops the better for everyone….
