Residents of one of the wealthiest buildings in New York are complaining about construction and costs, report says

Now, those sweeping towers may face new troubles. As the Times reports, the concerns over the building's potential defects and construction aren't just confined to 432 Park:"Engineers privy to some of the disputes say many of the same issues are occurring quietly in other new towers."The building has had several floods, with one"water line failure" taking two of the four elevators out of service.

The wind isn't the only noise. The trash chute"sounds like a bomb" — and residents have heard"creaking, banging and clicking noises," per notes from a 2019 owners' meeting that the Times reviewed. "Initial findings showed that 73% of mechanical, electrical and plumbing components observed failed to conform with the developers' drawings," the Times reported — and about a quarter may have had"actual life safety issues."

They can fly a kite.
