Back in January, an apparently brotastic 6-bedroom apartment at
the newly renovated 205 Avenue A was billed as an "East Village frat house" in ads.
Apparently the building with roof deck and backyard is living up to its billing.
Residents who live near the party palace between East 12th Street and East 13th Street say they have been enduring various daytime/nighttime parties since April.
Says one neighbor: "Rooftop parties have included a DJ with sound system and the backyard patio has a large outdoor screen for movies and sports. The backyard is part of a typical configuration whereby many buildings overlook their shared backyard areas which creates a kind of echoey canyon where even the smallest noises are amplified."
To date, residents say building owner Icon Realty has been unresponsive to emails and phone calls regarding the noise complaints.
So, the residents say they were left with little choice but to seek other alternatives to the problem. That means the 9th Precinct, Community Board 3 and the offices of Councilmember Rosie Mendez and State Sen. Brad Hoylman … all are said to be aware of the ongoing noise problems coming from the building's residents (and their guests).
205 Avenue A is
expected to be among the topics of discussion during tonight's
Ninth Precinct Community Council meeting. (The meeting is at 7 p.m. at the 9th Precinct, 321 E. Fifth St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue.)
And this is not the first time residents have had noise complaints about Icon Realty's
newly created dorms.
