I thought it's not uncommon for luxury NYC apartment buildings to have a 24hr concierge / lobby attendant who's main task is to keep strangers out. (In Hong Kong this is pretty much the norm in all residential buildings, upscale or cheap government subsidized ones alike.)
- closeparen 8y agoWhen I was a kid and we visited my grandmother in her Chicago high-rise, I was amazed that the concierge recognized and greeted us by name the moment we stepped into the vestibule. To memorize not only each resident's name and face, but also those of their occasional out-of-town guests, is quite a feat.
