Dogs might be the core of its problem. There are dogs and dog hair and dogs running all the time up and down the floors in this building. Of course the allergist found one of my most severe allergies was dog dander, who'd a thunk?
If the real estate management companies' statement that the entire block has bed bug infestations is true then look no further than the middle of the sidewalks and walk around all the dog poo? Lol start there then try the laundromats, a heap of unsanitary conditions there.
In the past few weeks strangers have been scrutinizing our video camera box on the outside of the building. Then spotting me entering the building they have asked me do you know who has the dog? They want to know everything, they are out for blood.
I tell them who manages the building and that is the person to contact.
They tell me their side of the story that the dog keeps them awake and is unnervingly barking all day and night long.
Yep, I know but I don't want to get involved in yet another pile of legal papers to do. For this building I have three already. The dog barking is unnerving but its the minimum of the problems here.
One woman said they are going to have that dog taken away. The man said its driving him nuts.
Hmm when I was talking to the dog owner about the band guy who moved in next door and plays at 2am to 6am in the morning, leaves his monitors on the floor, keeps ramping up the drum machine, even sings... someone who lives a couple of floors above me interrupts and says yes I hear it. The owner of the dog and I look at this interjector as he states that dog drive me nuts all day. The owner turns red in the face and as soon as the guy goes away he says he can just give that to the board.
Tonight I let the dog owner know about these strangers' inquiry. He said oh yes one woman called up and B**** his wife out. He says he can just remove the pipe coming out of their building into his yard and that should take care of things. He claims that the dog next door starts his dog up.
I asked about the dog daycare down the road. He said they got the dog from the pound and sent it to day care and a load of training. The dog looked very well behaved with him. hmmm It is true dogs do teach each other rather bad habits like digging holes under fence posts.
I never was certain where the dog barking came from, it seemed to alternate between the buildings. The guy upstairs certifies that its this dog.
The legalese is that you can get an injunction for one day at a time. Ha but the enforcement of it, well the police will determine if the sound is loud enough. But whereforth art their expertise. ROFL
Yep you would have to drag the party into small claims court everytime the dog barked with documentation and expert witnesses. The judgement then doesn't have to be paid, the judgment just goes on and on and on... until a loan is needed... probably never, since the dog owner owns the largest share of the townhouse.
What does the management company say... rest assured they don't try to forcefully evict anyone over it, no threats about drilling holes in the door or that you are in breach of the lease because they can't figure out how to open their lock on their door. I am quite sure they gave any inquirer the dog owner's phone number. ROFL only in New York City.
Sitting on a trend...
