Marlene Wants Her Money and She Wants It Now!

At least two of these memos and maybe more have appeared on doors at the hotel this week.  Just because Marlene Krauss, Harvard MBA, says that you only have three days (or in this case until the 20th since it seems like Marlene doesn’t know how to count) to pay doesn’t mean squat. We believe that you actually have 90 days to come up with the money. (Don’t take our word for it. Be sure to consult a lawyer.) Also remember that even if they commence eviction proceedings against you it will take them at least a year to get you out.  The judge will most likely give you an opportunity to pay anyway. So don’t panic and think you have to leave your apartment immediately.  Even if you can’t pay you have plenty of time to make other arrangements. Once again, most importantly, be sure to talk to a lawyer.  If you can’t afford one you can contact the West Side SRO Law Project at 212-799-9638 and they may be able to provide free legal advice.

    Looks like Marlene doesn’t trust Glendon to send out the memos anymore. Wonder what that means?

    You make me sick, sans nom. Must we repeat this one more time: The real freeloaders are Krauss and Elder. Talk about a free ride on Stanley’s hard-working coattails. As a good friend noted, people like this would tell “Van Gogh to quit whining and get a real job, and probably say he same to Jesus before kicking him down the stairs.” Yes, Marle, princess darling, wants her money, money from the hotel she earned only by being born. She kicked a beloved man and his family out of their hotel, and if she could get away with it she’d kick everyone else out too.

    Hey Marlene:
    YOU NEED TO GET LAID
    And that is definitely NOT an invitation.

    Wow, $250 per day in rent is now considered freeloading in NYC? Hard to imagine how anyone below the top 1 percent of the city’s wealthy could afford that, artists or not.
    If I’m living in a building and they suddenly jack up my rent to Manhattan hotel rates, and I have kids or a business to run or a manuscript to finish before I can get paid, so that I can’t come up with the $7500 per month rent right away on command, that makes me a freeloader?
    No-name, I salute you. Heil!

    Not paying rent since July??? That constitutes freeloading in my opinion.

    I hope whoever got the letter does consult a lawyer. It’s very important.

    Well you don’t understand the Chelsea hotel. Artists don’t get paid every month. Sometimes the get paid once or twice a year. Musicians and book writers do, when they get their royalties. A painter might work six months for a show and have little money in the meantime, then sell a bunch of pieces and be able to pay their bill all at once, or even ahead, as I have often done. one of the reasons that so many creative people have lived at the Chelsea hotel for the last half century was because Stanley understood this fact of creative life and allowed for it, though it was never pleasant owing Stanley rent. If you don’t care if there are artists living in New York then you’ll approve the new regime. But if you listen to music, love paintings, sculpture, movies, comedy or books, then you’re a hypocrite. We aren’t all born into families with money and property.

    I’m afraid, my Dear Overlords, you just don’t get it. The Chelsea was a special place because it operated in a different fashion, one which understood and accommodated artists and other art lovers.
    Good work of an artistic nature is rarely produced in factories, (except perhaps, The Factory), and there is a reason for this.
