257-277-gold-street-0910.jpg
Back at the end of last year, 277 Gold Street–the first of two new rental buildings built by the Lalezarian family at Gold and Tillary Streets in Downtown Brooklyn–ran into delays getting its C of O, resulting in frustrating delays for tenants who’d signed up for December move-in dates. (Ultimately tenants were able to move in in February.) Now that the sister building at 257 Gold Street is ready to go, similar C of O issues are creating problems again. According to a Brooklynian thread, a batch of renters was supposed to move in on September 1, but the developer is still waiting on sign-off from the Department of Buildings. The most hopeful estimate in the thread is for tomorrow, but another commenter who just signed a lease earlier this week got a start date of October 15. Tough luck for anyone trying to vacate another apartment, organizers movers, etc.

  1. Sorry, but it seems crazy not to blame the building owners for not getting their acts together — again.

    And maybe again, and again?

    “My customer signed a lease in September for a move in starting October 1st and she still has not moved in yet! I have heard of other people who signed leases for 9/15 and haven’t move in either. Apparently there is no Certificate of Occupany for the building yet and the property managers keep bullshiting my customer and saying she can move in soon. They also promised to pay for a hotel if she wasn’t allowed to move in at the starting date of October 1st. They now say nothing was ever promised.”
