Accept packages. Leave keys for guests/visitors/(airbnb renters) when you aren't around. Perceived (or actual?) security -- nm - ty97 Dec 4, 12:47 4
- Also, IME, a lot of the newer and bigger buildings seem to be doorman (more often than not) and the older (pre-war especially) tend not to be. - ty97 Dec 4, 12:51
- Is any of that actually worth the premium paid in increased rent? Again, serious question. -- nm - TWuG Dec 4, 12:50 2
  - not finding evidence or actual presence of hookers and crack smokers plying their trade in the hall/stairway....priceless -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 4, 12:53 1
    - tip: a clue about street drug usage is finding soda cans ripped in half (heroin/other injectables) or hole punched (crack/smokables) -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 4, 12:55
