Every year we try to give thanks to our building staff just how much they mean to us.
Tipping is a fantastic way to show your appreciation for those who have helped or served you well over the past year. Keep in mind, tipping is subjective.
Typically, holiday tipping is done Dec 1 - Feb 15.
In your building:
| To Whom: | Suggested Tip: | |
|---|---|---|
| In a Doorman Bldg | Non-Doorman Bldg | |
| Super / Resident Manager | $150 - $475 | $80 - $350 |
| Doorman / Concierge | $50 - $450 | |
| Porter or Handyman | $50 - $75 | $30 - $60 |

Gift basket or card | Gift basket or card |
| Package Runners | $30 - $50 | |
| Extra Cleaning Crew | $100 per team |
$75 per cleaning per team |
Note: Some building teams are larger, some smaller. Scale tips per person on this scale according to team size - it's subjective, but also intuition.
