Noted: Please take your rooftop shenanigans elsewhere

Spotted along Ninth Street... per the door note: 
Dear Neighbor,

We heard you on our roof last night and watched you crawl back into your window. 

Could you please find another roof for your late-night shenanigans? 

There have been a lot of breakins so we call the cops when we hear people up there. 

Whether or not you're trying to break in and steal my worthless crap, it's scary and super loud when you're up there. 

THANKS — Your neighbor

    Great stuff - wonder if the idiot who climbs up there can even read

    As much as I hate the frattification of the EV, my gut response is that if you can't handle people hanging out on the roof (a tradition that goes back generations of tar beaches), and your immediate instinct is to call the police, you may have pushed things too far the other direction...

      Roofs were never designed to be party spaces, and some landlords even prohibit tenants from congregating on roofs—or using them as smoking lounges—because of the inherent danger involved.

      I disagree somewhat. Part of going on the roof is that it’s “not allowed”and you are supposed to try not to bother your neighbors/get caught

      I've read enough news stories about partying people tumbling off roofs to say that if it's not set up as a proper deck with access and railings/safety features, people shouldn't be up there. (Sorry to be a killjoy.)

    This bullshit started early in the evening 7:30 and continued until after midnight with music so loud I could hear it in my ground floor apartment across the street with the tv on.

    I support fun on roofs.
