Roosevelt Island Christmas Trees Still Not Removed From Outside Of Roosevelt Landings/Eastwood - Does The Building Management Have A Problem With The Timely Removal Of Trash?

How long is it reasonable to expect trash to remain outside of Roosevelt Landings/Eastwood without being removed? A resident of Roosevelt Landings/Eastwood looks out apartment window today and reports:
A view outside my window of Eastwood - 580. Yes, it's been under snow for a while but it's been over a week or more now that the snow has melted and the trees remain!

It's March already - think it's time to clear away the Christmas trees, Dontcha think????
The management at Roosevelt Landings/Eastwood seem to have a problem with the timely removal of trash. Remember the uncovered dumpster filled with trash behind the building on the East Channel reported previously?

Uncovered Dumpster On East Promenade

These are the type of Roosevelt Island problems that should be reported to the Roosevelt Island See Click Fix system. It's very easy to do and will establish a record of Roosevelt Island issues including a method of measuring RIOC's response, if any, to the issue. Try it out!

Urban American has a problem with general maintenance of its property. A building with 1001 apartments requires rigorous upkeep. We don't see that from UA.

The laundry rooms experience extended shutdowns almost monthly for "emergency maintenance" and when they reopen, machines are still broken and in need of repair.

On the 4th floor of 560/580, we're lucky if someone sweeps the carpet every few days. Trash and cigarette butts abound on the floors outside our apartments. The light gray carpeting they installed hasn't been shampooed since it was put in.

The fire door between the 4th floor of 560 and 580 hasn't been wiped down since it was painted more than a year ago, so it's covered in grime. Its handle has been broken for over 3 years.

Several of the exterior doors in exit stairwells seem almost perpetually broken, allowing anyone into the building at any time. The exit stairwells themselves reek of urine.

For all the investments UA has made at Roosevelt Landings, it seems no provision exists for ongoing maintenance.

Those Christmas trees aren't going anywhere.

My biggest issue is that ugly dumpster by the Seawall. I have seen residents heaving bags of garbage on to the top of that over-filled dumpster and sometimes the garbage goes right over the top and in to the river. It shouldn't even be there, but if it is - it should be emptied regularly.

It looks like RIOC/PSD can only notify UA but not enforce any action on deficiencies. Is that really the case ?
