Utilities
Who pays for my utilities?
Residents pay for their utilities (electric and gas) directly to ConEd. Your utilities are metered directly to your apartment, so you only pay for what you use. Before you move in, start your ConEd service directly on their website at this link: Start ConEd service
How do I get internet service?
Contact Spectrum Internet to set up internet and/or cable for your apartment at this link: Spectrum Internet
Trash and Recycling
When is Garbage Pick-up Day?
Garbage is picked up by the city from the curb early-morning on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Therefore garbage needs to be placed at the curb after 5PM on Monday, Weds and/or Friday evening. Recycling goes out only on Friday evening. If you have trash on other days, place it into the grey garbage cans in the moat in front of the building and our cleaning crew will place it curb-side on the next trash day. Learn more about recycling here.
Want to compost? The city has a composting pick-up location just a few blocks away at 145th Street and Bradhurst in front of the Jackie Robinson Park. Learn more here.
Heating/Air Conditioning
When I turn on my Air Conditioner or Heater using the thermostat, it runs for a minute or so and then the thermostat turns itself off. (The “system” indicator switches to “Off”.)
If you live in an apartment that has two (2) thermostats (for example, one in the bedroom and one in the living room), the two systems may be in conflict: both systems must be set to COOL or to HEAT. If one is set to HEAT and one to COOL, the system will shut itself down. To solve, set both systems to COOL (or Heat) before running. You can turn off one or the other thermostat once they are both set to the same mode.
Lock-outs
What do I do if I get locked out?
If you get locked out, call and text Geoff repeatedly until he answers or responds. If Geoff is not answering, call Javier. We have a master key in a lockbox on premises that will allow you to access your unit on a one-time basis. If you call a locksmith and the locksmith breaks your lock, you are financially responsible for it. Please note that the locks on the apartment doors cost over $1200, so it’s best not to break them!
What if the ButterflyMX unit is jammed and I can’t get into the building?
You can always use your physical front door key to access the building. If you don’t have it and the Butterfly does not restart itself automatically after it crashes, simply call ButterflyMX support and give them the address and tell them what’s happening and they can remotely restart. The support phone number is in the ButterflyMX app on your phone: (864) 659-2323
