Buyers take collective action

Buyers at new developments around the city are joining together to
talk to developers about problems with their condo purchases. Buyers
at the Clement Clarke in Chelsea, at 140 West 22nd Street between Sixth
and Seventh avenues, are communicating with the building’s developer
through a lawyer, Adam Leitman Bailey. Clement Clarke buyers say they have found water damage, wall
cracks and other problems in their units. Other unhappy buyers, such
as those at the Brompton at 205
East 85th Street, at Third Avenue, where the 190 units were selling
for around $1,800 per square foot, are finding each other on the
Internet and sharing their concerns. Brompton buyers are angry about
the falling value of the apartments and claim the building has been
poorly constructed.
