"At 432 Park — one of the wealthiest addresses in the world — I note that residents are now required, under a 2021 rule, to spend $15,000 a year at the building’s private restaurant (up from a $1,200 annual requirement when the building opened in 2015), that breakfast is no longer free, and that The New York Times first reported the change; complaints about the steep dining fees surfaced alongside widespread homeowner concerns about water damage from plumbing, mechanical issues, elevator malfunctions, and walls that "creak like the galley of a ship," problems residents and the Times link to the building’s height, which briefly made it the world’s tallest residential building in 2015." - Luke Fortney
