In response to this post concerning electricity complaints at Eastwood (Roosevelt Landings) and Manhattan Park, a newly elected Roosevelt Island Residents Association (RIRA) Manhattan Park delegate comments that Manhattan Park management denied her permission to place a contact information notice on building property. Ms Perez writes:

We at Manhattan Park will encounter this problem again in the next few days. In my particular case, we try to save energy at home in all means possible because the bills are so high. I have found that residents complain but we do not get in contact with each other. Therefore our complains are not heard. I won a seat to represent Manhattan Park in the last RIRA election and have just been at the M.Park Management Office asking for permission to get my contact information posted. They denied the permit. I want to make my contact info available here: roosevelt.island.ny@gmail.com

Please get in contact with me for this and other issues affecting you, Manhattan Park resident.

Another reader suggests that:

... It sounds like Manhattan Park residents are being overcharged for their electric bills, which would explain why the management wishes to prevent the tenants from contacting each other to "compare notes" that is, their bills, as they could then confirm that the injustice is bldg-wide etc. Tenants could then either go thru their elected officials to initially request correction of the submetering overcharges with refunds paid to tenants who have been overcharged. If the request is denied, then the elected officials have additional levers of power at their disposal, up to an including referral to the appropriate judicial authority....

If other Manhattan Park residents wish to communicate with each other on this issue or any other I have just created a google group for Manhattan Park. If there is any interest in participating in this group let me know and we will figure out a way to best use it.

I have also created separate groups for:

• Riverwalk
• Rivercross
• Island House and
  
• Westview

Groups for Octagon and Eastwood (Roosevelt Landings) will be done shortly.

If residents of these building wish to participate in their groups please let me know and we will figure out a way to best use it.
