1BBP Owner Survey


April - 2024

04/05/2024 - 04/13/2024

© 2024
Executive Summary

Earlier this month, we initiated a survey of OBBP owners on the lobby renovation which garnered 158 responses,
each from a different IP address, which we believe is a very high level of engagement and a large enough sample size
to be representative of the building’s views.

While there is indeed some positive feedback, the overall sentiment is decidedly negative. On a 1-10 point scale,
with 1 being negative and 10 being positive, no weighted score on any question is in positive territory;
the highest score was 4.76, and some were significantly lower.

When asked how happy they are with the lobby project with 1 being “very unhappy” and 10 being “very happy,” nearly
half (48 percent) answered 1-3, compared to 18 percent who answered 8-10.

While the lobby renovation was originally intended to update the space and ensure our building values kept pace,
57 percent of residents say the new lobby design is NOT an improvement on the old one. Of the 43 percent who say
it is an improvement, many provided written comments about what they do not like.

In fact, when asked if the renovation improves the building’s property value, the weighted score was 3.69
(with 1 being not at all and 10 being greatly improves); an overwhelming majority (78%) answered 5 or lower.

Executive Summary (continued)

On a question about how well the Board allocates funds for building improvements, with 1 being very concerned and
10 being not concerned at all, nearly 2/3 of respondents (62 percent) gave a score of 5 or lower.

When asked how well the Board communicated progress on the renovation, with 1 being "very poor" and 10 being
"very well," nearly half (47 percent) of respondents gave a score of 1-3, compared to 15 percent who gave a score
at the top end of the scale, 8-10.

But it’s perhaps the open-ended responses that tell the story best. We’ve included all of the comments as written, both
positive and negative, in this presentation.

Thank you for participating! We hope the data drives reflection and positive change in both the process and results
of our building improvements.

45 Hard to say in 100 characters - not happy with any of it nor the cost

48 Everything else - we look cheap and ikea like without any cohesion.
49 The pink couch, animal print rug, and Brooklyn Bridge wallpaper.

53 The floors are still ugly. Bench Cushions, sofa, rug, etc. We need seating this doesn't do it.
54 The lighting, the Brooklyn bridge wallpaper
55 I think the rug should be larger, and I don't love the Andy Warhol wallpaper.
56 Waiting for the art and new coffee table

61 I would go with something more plain or geometric pattern versus the Brooklyn Bridge wallpaper.
62 Feels scattered and not 'tied together' organically

68 New couch is like from a porn movie.
69 Seating
70 It is bland and cold (with strange color pops and uninviting furniture) rather than warm/welcoming
71 The rest
72 It doesn’t seem like it flows. It’s like a bunch of colors and randomness thrown together
73 The hot dog couch looks cheap and is poor use of the space. The overheard lighting is very poor.
74 Color scheme is all over the map. Should have stuck with subtle grey tones.
75 The furniture and art selection. The seating capacity also appears to be less than before.

82 Rug
83 The rug, couch, black wood side tables (are these still here?). The art is not appealing either.

87 Everything (sans desk). The horrible 70s track lighting, cheesy wallpaper/art, horrid rug, bench etc

89 Not cohesive, unfinished light fixtures, not enough seating, failure to fix floors, dark ceiling
90 Lacks cohesiveness. The column tiles and bridge wallpaper are worst. Halls are boring; need color.

38 The Board probably spent too little, not too much, given how discordant the design elements ended up
40 There should be seating in the mezzanine; allocate $ to build a party room in space above Iris Cafe
41 We are impressed with how little the construction impacted living in the building and its speed
42 Overall satisfied.

49 What’s done is done. We should be looking towards how to work together to improve the rest building
50 If we can improve the seating areas and repaint the mint columns to a neutral color it can help
Rather than spend more money, we should remove items that seem to just cheapen the lobby

52 The rationale for changing the lobby--need for larger mailroom--seems like a false one.

89 Once the project was under way, the Board hid complications and costs and amended designs
90 There may not be a budget for remediation, but modifications should be done to enhance the design.
91 There will never be a unanimous opinion on aesthetics. The need for this survey is more concerning.
92 I ran out of space saying what I didn't like.

103 It's very very hard to design anything by committee
105 No. Great questions.
106 The lack of transparency and the spending of a $1mm 4 a horrific renovation is extremely suspect
107 Seems like there are better ways to increase the property value than the lobby

112 I think a more cohesive aesthetic redesign is sorely needed. it feels antiquated
113 Why are owners not surveyed about what improvements are needed and what should be prioritized?
114 No
115 priority should be given to fixing the elevators, updating the gym and the children's rooms
117 Please more seating. There's space under the stairs and near the two elevators at the end. please.
119 Worst ever
122 I would aim for a lobby that is classy, sleek and modern.

125 Unqualified Board and poor governance and process led to this result and are the overarching issues.
127 Feel like the package room situation wasn’t really worked on as much as it should have been.
128 lobby is slightly improved
129 Unqualified designer used materials not appropriate for public spaces, cobbled it together. Awful.
130 Need to still see finished product. Especially sitting area. Mostly don’t like the long bench
131 The board needs new life. They never allow anyone new on the board and it’s a Dictatorship

132 I live on 2nd floor and our hall really need some help
133 As a designer - I think the quality of materials and choices need to improve
134 This was a frivolous use of money in a time when finances are stretched for some of us.
137 So sad the money spent and the outcome. nothing at all warm and inviting
139 #6: concerned, yes; but think they are in excellent control of the $
140 The goal was to make us modern and on par with other buildings which the reno did NOT accomplish
141 As always, more communication is better
142 NA

Stop complaining unless you volunteered your time for the reno. Too many other problems in the
143
world
144 Each lobby area looks like a different designer did it. Very unsophisticated overall.
145 Board initially laid out a more collaborative plan than they actually followed
146 No
147 The seating is awful, and we can’t have a full sized Christmas tree.
148 I think it’s fine
150 waste of money
151 Why don’t we use the old package pick up window by the back of the lobby

153 Board has No transparency, no governance, no culpability, board loves to spend $ w/o repercussions
154 Armed guard 24/7
155 Can we replace the couch and rug when you first walk in?
156 Unnecessary and money would've been better spent on new carpeting throughout building
160 Why weren’t we shown an actual rendering of this? That is very easily done! Property value killer!
162 The original design was well communicated with the presentation in lobby. Req’d modification less.

164 The design is not cohesive. The lighting is poor. All the elements seem very random and lack vision.
165 while we dislike the current state of the lobby, we are also wary of spending a lot more to rectify
166 Hire a professional interior designer
167 i've yet to hear any update on the budget given that much of the structural work wasn't done
