“I can stay in my home, but I’ve lost my super job,” Martin said. “That means I’m out $150 a month. $150 a month! So yeah, I’m upset.”

“Have you seen the garbage out front of the building?” he said with a laugh.

“The doorway is a mess. There are big black garbage bags just sitting on top of the cans. He hasn’t done a damn thing since he became super.

“The new super — he’s a little Mexican man — hasn’t even swept the building yet. Not once. The last time it was swept was Nov. 23, and I should know because it was me who swept it.

“I told the new super that I’m giving him two months before he loses his mind and goes crazy over the sloppy tenants,” he said.

One tenant, who refused to give his name because he’s afraid of Martin, said he’s glad about the changing of the guard.

But the sticker shock of the sawbuck pales in comparison to a toll hike as high as — get this — $14.

That’s how much the round-trip toll could conceivably cost as part of the MTA’s proposed package of fare and toll hikes.

The authority outlined a variety of options yesterday meant to achieve a projected revenue increase of up to 23 percent, to plug a $1.2 billion budget gap.

Nothing is set in stone; rather, the proposed changes, including a $6.25 express bus fare, a $2.50 or $3 local bus or subway fare and severe service cuts, reflect the outside threshold of pain.

That’s a sharp increase from the $1.3 billion and $5 billion deficits Mayor Bloomberg projected last month in his budget plan for the 2010 and 2011 fiscal years. It even surpasses the state Financial Control Board’s dire figures that came out just five days ago and put the city’s budget gaps at $2.3 billion and $6.4 billion.

The FCB didn’t have time to include the impact of severe cuts in state aid proposed by Gov. Paterson on Dec. 16.
