That's because over the last few months our building has gone insane. It's actually turned into a frat house. I've lived here for a few years, and the "old timers" are very pleasant (and I never noticed smokey hallways before). It's the new-comers who are complete douche bags. For example, the other week there was a note in the front entrance about someone seeking his missing frat paddle. Last weekend someone brought in a fire hydrant from the street and dressed it in a bra and panties. Weekday and weekend parties are becoming the norm. There have been hallway keg parties. Finding beer bottles and red bull cans littered throughout the stairwells and floors, also very normal. <br /><br />Ultimately what I can't figure out is if this building actually, maybe hasn't changed that much, or I just completely outgrew it. I also haven't had cold water for 2 months and when it's windy the kitchen window just blows off the hinges and into the apartment. Ahhh, the charms of East Village living.<br /><br />But now I'm ranting. And moving. But stressing, the only nice thing about the building is old timers. <br /><br />Last thing - that note about being able to smoke in the hallway was actually ripped to shreds that morning and left on the floor. Then it disappeared. And then, a few hours later, the EXACT same note reappeared - same blue color writing, same penmanship, same exact wording. New or old comers persistent.

It has nothing to do with who they are, what they do, what they look like. it's simply doing unto others as you would have them do unto you. be kind to your neighbor and they will be kind to you.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-65564148073156691522014-04-29T19:02:11.792-04:002014-04-29T19:02:11.792-04:00How about having sex in the hallway and stairwell?...How about having sex in the hallway and stairwell?

Tenants in NYS have a warranty of habitability and sanitary living environment, which the courts have interpreted as including the right to a smoke-free apartment. People have sued their neighbors over cigarette smoke seeping into their apartments in NYC and have won. So calm down, smoker, because you're in the wrong, and smoking is banned in public areas such as stairwells. <br /><br />It's ridiculous to accuse anybody who is disturbed by this "real NYer's" smoke of being a transplant. It doesn't matter. Secondhand smoke has a horrible impact on health, which is why laws exist to protect all of us from self-centered neighbors like the one who wrote that response. <br /><br />Should the neighbor have tried to approach the smoker first? Sure, but you may not be sure who it is that smokes in the hallway if they do it while walking up / down, they may have already approached the smoker to no avail, or their previous interactions may have been difficult (the smoker seems self-centered and unreasonably angry).
