I have lived in this building for several years. All new renters and those renewing their leases must sign two riders (1) acceptance of adverse conditions (stating noise and vibration for at least a year possibly longer) and (2) an option that allows them to cancel you lease at any time (there is a 30-60 day notice period). They are also attempting to raise rents but as much at 10%--which might not be so bad--if it were not for all the riders they are forcing people to sign. In addition, if you want the option of canceling your lease--you have to sign a rider that you will pay 2 months rent as a penalty. Like I said, renters beware.

This is true! 2 weeks into my new lease, I received a letter indicating my lease had been canceled and that I had 60 days to move out. I also noticed that my floor plan is available on the Rockrose web site and is advertised for $1000 above what I am paying now.
I called to ask why the lease was canceled and the response I received is, "you agreed to sign the lease with cancellation rider."
You should note that a red herring was submitted in February to the attorney general's office (http://www.oag.state.ny.us/). If you call the office and ask to be directed to speak to someone about tenant's right or condo conversions, they can tell you current status of the conversion plan approval process. I was told that the first review is 6 months and this is generally to correct any deficiencies that Rockrose may have missed. In addition, it may take more than a year before the apartment building complex is completely renovated.
If you have any complaints, write a letter to the attorney general's office. They will respond and take this into consideration during the conversion process.

I am a tenant at 99 John, considering renewing my lease. I am concerned about signing the cancellation rider. Has anyone else had problems with them cancelling their lease?
