Apartment services
Tips to apartment staff are highly appreciated and apparently well-noted. It's best to give cash in envelopes and to tip the entire staff. If you're not sure of how many people are on staff, ask your superintendent for a list. Another helpful rule of thumb for tipping building staff is to give the superintendent double what you tip the doormen.
