Are there some noise issues here? It has been some time since we noted any noise signs here...

Noise isn't funny?

I live on E 3RD ST around the corner and I think they've been great. Granted, I'm not directly above, but there is never a big crowd outside, etc. as far as I've noticed. I think they're a great neighbor and it's nice to have the arts around here. I'm glad that stupid hot chicks sign isn't there tho, to keep the cornballs out! Fuck y'all we goin wildlldlddmdklnekdmn
ReplyDeleteDear People of the World:
ReplyDeleteI live in one of the Nosiest Cities in the World, in one of the Noisiest Neighborhoods in the World. I hate myself. Therefore, any little annoyance is amplified one hundred fold in my ritalin infused brain. Often, I see helicopters following me and men in long black robes carrying scythes and emitting a purple ray from their pelvises. Long story short, please stop thinking loud thoughts and engaging in jovial behavior because I am miserable and the one joy I have in life is masturbating to Internet porn, which is made impossible by your incessant happiness.
Regards,
The Management.
I hate when people ANYWHERE block the sidewalk. It's so effing annoying.
ReplyDeleteI knew it, before long someone would write something along the lines of "it's a busy city, what do you expect but nose?" That's usually by some buffoon (i.e., the management) who doesn't have to get up early for work, or who doesn't have kids in school.
ReplyDeleteListen, you newbie MidWesterners, it's a city true. What that means is you need to be thoughtful of your neighbors. No clomping around in boots in your uncarpeted apartment. No blocking sidewalks so you can chat with your dopey friends. No screaming "oh my gawwwd" a million times at 3am on a Tuesday night. That's not "just people haivng fun." It's people disrespecting those of us who have lived here all their lives and who will continue to live here long after you moved back to whatever suburban hell-hole you crawled out of.
I don't know anything about Upright Citizens Brigade, I'm just talking in general.
Do we really want the East village to be quiet? Talk about losing its character. I think I'll be a little sad when I don't have to have an endless supply of earplugs next to my bed.
ReplyDeleteNo one said anything about "quiet."
ReplyDelete1. Don't block the sidewalk.
2. Don't scream your lungs out 10 feet from someone's window.
Not exactly asking much.
Anon 11:55 AM, I suppose it's too late for you but since you've already procreated, please stop the bitter hate chain before it gets to those kids. That and you might want to move somehere where the bars aren't open until 4 AM.
ReplyDelete3:29, my response was to the 10:24 responder. I notice you're fine with that complete idiocy.
ReplyDeleteI have lived on the LES all my life (except for college and two years working in the south). So did my mom and my maternal grandparents. But yeah, a bunch of morons think the neighborhood is not for people like me and my family, rather it's a playground for them to enjoy for 5 or 6 years between college and moving back to the suburbs.
How hateful of me to get in the way of their fun by daring to ask them to behave like residents in a neighborhood. I guess I should move.
Makes sense, thanks.
Note, the fact that I or anyone else has grown up here does not give a person anymore rights than anyone else of course. I do NOT mean imply that. My point is it's a city, you have neighbors behave yourself or get called on it.
Oh, and 3:29, my kid will grow up to be respective of neighbors, I know that sounds hateful to spoiled brats. I blame your parents.
ReplyDeleteI am telling you. Once you move out of the City, the bitterness leaves your body like you;ve been through an exorcism. You should try it.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up in this city you learn certain rules of behavior to live as peaceably as possible in cramped quarters. It seemed then that everybody knew them but now there is a huge population of those that never did.
ReplyDeleteHere is what my mother taught me: stand to the side of the subway doors until everybody has gotten off; line up politely waiting for the bus; don't play jacks on the floor unless you want to be beaten to death by the man downstairs; don't jump, ever, unless you want to be beaten to death by the man downstairs; don't block the sidewalk unless you need an ambulance; walk quickly and with purpose; don't look the scary man in the eye but don't look at the floor either; ignore all strangers; put lipstick on before you go out because you never know; speak at a volume where nobody can overhear your private conversation; bears do not hibernate in ny and will not enter the window during spring; things that don't fit in your one bookcase have to be thrown away; when you are yelled at for having purple hair do not respond unless you have at least two friends willing and ready to fight on your side; your children will be smarter than you; nobody is indispensable and you can lose your job at any moment so always be prepared for misfortune; don't steal rubber bands from work to make a rubber band ball or you will get in trouble; when you staple papers make sure the edges are aligned; kill all bugs immediately; use cash for everything and hide a lot of it all around the house in case of the apocalypse; cash is always a better gift; look both ways or the accident will be your own fault; never cry wolf; you can tell a floor is clean by examining the corners. I'll stop now.
I live at the other end of this block by Ave B (3rd ST). I have been here 17 years. I live directly above No Malice Bar.. which they run as a nightclub on the weekends (illegal in a residential neighborhood). The music is SO loud it's like I am sleeping right in the club. People stand in the back and scream and yell. We have reported them to 311 for months on end and see NO result. There is no sound proofing between their ceiling and my floor. Anyone else have noise issues from this place or have any ideas on controlling it? I think they must have paid off the police. Complaining to 311 results in absolutely NOTHING. :(
ReplyDeleteanon 8:03--email the community board to work with you re noise at Malice.
ReplyDeleteIt's actually much quieter now that the CitiBikes have eliminated all car traffic from the East Village. Except for the sounds of old ladies screaming at them as they blow through red lights and over the unconscious bodies of people too slow to get out of the way, it's almost as quiet as Albany on a Saturday night. Like taxes, death and trouble, you can't hear a CitiBike until it hits you.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 8:03. I live in the building too but I'm only occasionally affected by the back patio noise. I have noticed how loud it is in the building lobby during the weekend and have often wondered how it affects neighbors living directly above the club. I'm going to try reporting the club as an illegal cabaret/dance club. Maybe that will do it?
ReplyDeleteI've lived here 486 years. Back then the indigenous Indians were real douchebags to us vampires. I find that the noise at night is nothing compared to self-entitled douchenozzles who think that because they moved here from Shaker Heights to get away from mommy and daddy that the world and the neighborhood revolves around them. Maybe I should bite you dicks on the neck but you're blood is probably too bitter for me.
ReplyDeleteTo the person who lives in the same building as No Malice! YES! THANK YOU! Any reporting as such is helpful!!! I sort of live in fear of what the landlord can do if he finds out I complained. I am going to try to talk with GOlES on this as well. I do not know who or where our community board is. It's funny I almost never refer to this club as a bar, essentially it isn't. It's a full on club on the weekends, with rope outside for people to stand in line to enter. I am losing my long term room mate because of this. I can't blame her. She has to be up at 5 30am to go to her job at Apple in Soho. Can you imagine. Nightmare!
ReplyDeletetell her to move to jersey city. it's pin drop quiet over there.
