Urban Etiquette Sign already needed for brand-new rental

Apartments in the freshly renovated 325 E. 10th St. hit the market several weeks ago.... Several units remain on the market, as the stickers on the front door note...



...others have been rented....




...and, already, there's need for Urban Etiquette Signs for the new tenants...



Might need some more notes once the whole building is rented.

With two 'public roof decks,' 325 E. 10th St. ready to contribute to 'lively community'

Why do people think filing a complaint is going to change anything? It's pointless unless you live in a coop and can complain to a committee with power to affect change. Renters have no rights.

I've found that notes like this are worthless. You need to speak directly with the person/people making the noise. And not necessarily during the throes of the party...but the next day when maybe everyone is more rational. Just as a first step.

I've found that you need to include the apartment number of the offender on the note and post multiple copies around the building. That's always worked for me, but I think without the public shaming of having the apartment number on the note it's useless.

A tube of Crazy Glue in their front door lock can be a very effective attention getter.

Once the cops show up to act upon said 311 noise complaint call and have a word with the offender, the noise miraculously tends to quiet down. Worked for me! :)

The cops never show up. It stretches the imagination to think of a scenario where they would show up. Maybe one of your other neighbors is a cop who was being disturbed, or there was a hole in the universe and the cop fell into it and right onto the offending neighbor.
