I'm sorry but it was 10:00 pm on a weekday night and our house rules (signed by both the landlord and the tenant whether rental or proprietary lease) state to keep the noise down after 10 pm on a weekday.
The guy had been blasting this radio show into my apartment for two hours already.
I knocked three times with a polite space of a few minutes between each knock. The guy asked who it was. I just asked if he would mind to keep the music down. He opened the door and he blushed. I guess he did not know that he lived next door to a princess.
Still can't figure out why he never answered my letter, why the landlord never did a thing and why HPD just wrote no further action necessary without notifying me.
The guy is not a musician, his son is. According to this neighbor his son comes and plays occasionally. I stated that I kept a detailed diary as I had written him and asked the landlord about it and nothing was done. The drowning out of my life happens more than occasionally. I said his door slams and the blasting stops and the door slams and it starts again. He asked when I last heard the band playing. I stated two days ago he angrily states then that can't be his son. hmm I have experience with fathers who lie for their sons.
When I was 9 years old a boy came along with a bat and bashed in my bike in front of me. Totally unprovoked. My dad went with me to the guy's apartment. His father lied for his son.
At any rate the guy turned down his radio show and I've only heard it faintly since. The band practice and playing has ended so far.
I guess the weekend will be the true test of what is going to go down.
It amazes me that the landlord made themselves liable for noise habitability of their building via their house rules and yet they refused to enforce these rules when notified three times in writing and twice in person. The neighbor on the other side of me received a note based upon house rules from the landlord. They asked her to stop putting so much trash outside. The guy downstairs (the infamous "barking dog" owner) told her to do something about her dog and put carpeting on 80% of the floor. There was a legal scuffle.
I have to ask is it because we are single women? or because we are rentals?
In either case don't expect HUD to do anything whatsoever. What did they do for me when my last apartment was disabling me? They sat on their chair and did nothing. They wrote me emails that stated that they intended to do something, notes from a phone conversation stated that they were taking it to court because the landlord had not even addressed the situation, not even bothered to come in to the apartment and had willfully mislead HUD as to what they did. What happened in the end? HUD and a private conversation with the lawyer representing that landlord. Then I was sent a letter stating that the case was not administratively feasible in accordance with their mission. Later I was sent another letter that the case was found to have no merit. Hello. That is totally illegal. I have to take them to court but excuse me in three weeks I will have starved for two weeks and will not have enough money for rent. I will be sleeping on a cardboard box in front of some church. So I don't exactly have the means to fight injustice.
But one day, oh boy, one day we will have a very nice supreme court case. A woman not much older than me who moved into an apartment building knowing there was a no pet policy received HUD's speedy attention for prosecution of the landlord because she needed the pet for psychological reasons. The apartment I was in caused me to have asthma, caused me to vomit non-stop due to smoke and carbon monoxide from their inept care of the stove, it disabled me.
That sickness lead me to miss two days of work as a temporary. I was being placed permanently at that firm after five years of service. I was told not to come back again and was sent a rejection letter by that firm two months later. Was it because they were laying off people, not hiring temporaries? Of course not. People in my agency told me they had started working there after I left. Many temporaries were hired. It was not bankruptcy season at that time. I did not work for that firm again for a year. Pretty freakin amazing. No firm would hire me after that because I did not have tenure at a firm. Yes because I was a temporary there the time did not count. That is the persecution I am facing right now. That because I am a temporary it doesn't matter that I am qualified by my earnings to benefits. I am held to the same standard as a permanent person who would not have had to work one single day.
I put this latest NYSDOL bumbling before the New York State Senator as soon as I had done all I could with the New York State Labor Department (NYSDOL) over two weeks ago. I have followed up twice. Still nothing. They agreed that the NYSDOL's position was fraudulent. NYSDOL stupidly placed 00 in quarters where I had sizeable income so that it would look like I had nothing. I however just recreated the statement putting in the correct info. All I had to do is open my 3-inch binder on my prosecution case against the NYSDOL. I won the last case, would they like to go for another? This time it will be in my venue, not theirs. I've read most of their cases, even the brag ones for their Commissioner. Not impressed, not impressive. They are goners in court, that's for sure.
They also left out a major employer. Over the phone they refused to own up and said anyway it doesn't matter what we did you didn't meet all three rules. Just to feel right about it NYSDOL sent me a letter stating that they were right. They did not prove it. I laughed my ass off. Their Rules are discriminatory they create and exclude a ghetto of workers with rules designing to prefer permanent people. The reality is that that all the NYSDOL rules were met by my temporary work and the NYSDOL just hid the fact. How many other people did they do this to so as to achieve the 6% drop in unemployment?
In the last six years I have been trying my best to stay above water. The government should have helped they were helping people who made 3x the amount I made. They did not. I have not sat idly I have worked hard at getting jobs. The three agencies that connect with me each week still maintain that I am their top person. I have added to my skills via the internet. I have been using WorkForce1 and literally begging them to help me after months and months of their lamo changes. What can I do? I've borrowed from my own 401K plan and I've played my credit cards against each other to survive. I have excellent credit.
Interesting to note in this FastTrac class they put a square formula on the board. On the left side the postive traits of an ideal employee, knowledge and skills and on the right, negative Attitudes and Habits. So I ask I have superior knowledge and skills and my past employers write because of her attitude and her excellent work skills and expertise she made one day jobs go into long term spots that we never dreamed we get. She is an asset to our company. My coworkers she is a lovely person to have around. And always always I do the job until it is done and to perfection and it is done most expeditiously. I am always 15 minutes early to work and if someone needs something done as I am walking out I gladly do it for them.
You should cry upon reading this because all that is left is age discrimination founded only on the evidence of a federally required Identification.
I am not mad because when I deal with the government I know I am dealing with losers. So I am of superior mental and intellectual ability and they are swine. Therefore I will win. Its just a matter of time. They are not worth any of my time and I sure would not give them my life. It does make me cry that I have had to give them so much of my time and my precious few dollars. The government is not a representative of the people. I do not know what they are. All I know is that they are inept at their job, highly inept. Challenge them and you will win. Never take no. Take them to the higher courts. Do not let them rob you, they are swine.
