There has been an update posted on the Official Mafia Wars Blog about upgrading the older "Limited-Time-To-Request-Upgrade-Parts NYC Properties" For a while you were able to upgrade them even though the timer was up. The following is a reprint of the post.
A Note About Limited-Time-To-Request-Upgrade-Parts NYC Properties
Play Now!
Some players have submitted bug reports via our Bugs & Support forum about being unable to request upgrade parts for 4 of the 9 New York City properties, specifically the Sports Bar, Venetian Condo, Tad's Gun Shop, and the Biker Clubhouse. This is actually not a bug. The ability to request upgrade parts for these properties was only available for a limited time. If you look at the property currently featured on the home page, you'll see a countdown timer centered at the top (highlighted below) telling you how much time you have left to request upgrade parts for that property.
When the countdown timer reaches 0:00:00, the property will remain at the level to which you were able to upgrade it by that time. The only way to upgrade these properties after their initial 1-2 week limited-time-to-request-upgrade-parts period is by purchasing the remaining parts you need with RP.
Now that you know how the recently introduced New York City properties work, it's the perfect time to request some upgrade parts for the currently featured property, the Martial Arts Dojo! You only have until 12:00 pm PDT on Thursday 10/20/2011 to upgrade it to its maximum potential through feeds/requests; a new property will take its place on the home page soon after.
Last week, I made a post with instructions on how to upgrade the older properties (1). All you needed to do was make a particular property active and then you could ask for the parts and continue to upgrade the property. Zynga has since changed it and took away the "Ask for More" button. Of course they left the option to upgrade with Reward Points.

Are you sure this was actually working? Although the 'Ask for More' buttons showed up on my account a couple times, when I used them to post links the links didn't work (iirc they gave an error message).
ReplyDeleteSo for me at least, this did NOT work, ever, despite trying a couple times.
@Anonymous, it worked on my energy account. I generated tiny urls from my request posts. I only tested it on one property. I was told in an email that it worked. I verified it for one level before posting. Had it not worked I wouldn't have made the post.
ReplyDeleteI can definitely say it didn't work on my account. Tried multiple times. Weird.
