Food Deliveries Allowed Upstairs
Does anyone have experience with doorman buildings where food delivery people are not allowed to go upstairs, but residents have to go down to meet them? Is this relatively normal, relatively rare, almost unheard of? There is a proposal in my building to ban food delivery people from going upstairs.

invible makes a really REALLY good point.. it probably comes across as slightly elitist, but in reality, it’s kinda true.

Is there any better profession for professional and amateur thieves (or worse) alike? Think about the screening process for delivery employees.
This rule is common, not just for liability and menus, some of these people are downright shady. You don’t necessarily want to let them loose in the building you call home.
With a certain Fresdirect truck that sets up camp in on a certain corner Manhattan i’ve seen fights on the street, domestic disputes on the phone in mid-delivery (swearing, death threats, etc) – and this was only my own personal experience. Some of these people act like the only inside building they’ve ever seen is Rikers.
All it takes is one bad apple, which in a busy building would not take long. It seems like an inconvenience to you, until you don’t feel safe anymore in your own building. There is no price for that.
ah.. yeah there are definitely none of those buildings in soho. they are beautiful tho

Class A office buildings are the best, most modern office buildings with the latest mechanical equipment and facilities. They will command the highest rent in a given market. While size doesn’t completely matter, a three story building wouldn’t qualify. I’m not aware of any office buildings in SoHo that would be considered Class A, except maybe the 32bj HQ at 101 6th Ave.
> what is considered a class A building tho?
> it’s a HUGE building
I think this is one of the few cases where size actually doesn’t matter.

No Class A office building in Manhattan allows food delivery men except for large parties which have to go up the freight elevator. Like minard says, it’s security.
my office building in soho lets food delivery people come to the office.. what is considered a class A building tho?
it’s a HUGE building

infinitejester: That IS shocking!
ML has the best explanation, thank you.
rob your knowledge of the law as usual is slim to none. The doorman is an invited employee, the doorman is also an agent of his employer. If the employer/building owner does not allow a certain class of people, then they are trespassing. The doorman can certainly stop a person from trespassing, just like an apt owner can.

rob rob rob, you can’t just flip a doorman the bird and go on your merry way. Its private property! You try this in Brooklyn Heights or Park Slope and you’ll be arrested. In other neibs you will probably get your ass kicked in right there and then.
