The Noise From the Gym Below My Condo Is Intolerable. What Can I Do?

The New York Times The New York Times | 1 year ago

Q: I recently purchased an apartment in a condominium in New York City. Unfortunately, it’s above the building’s gym. The constant noise and vibration from the treadmills and from weights being dropped has made my life miserable. What are my rights, and should I sue the building? A: New York is a “buyer beware” state, meaning the onus is on buyers to do their due diligence before making a purchase. Sellers must, however, disclose material defects. Presumably, you could see that there was...

The Rats Next Door Are Dangerous. What Can I Do About It?

The New York Times The New York Times | 1 year ago

Q: There is a co-op near where I live on the Upper West Side that has shrubbery with rat holes — and rats coming out of them — abutting the building. I contacted the building’s management company, and they responded, but they don’t seem to do anything about it. If the owners or management company is alerted to these issues, and does not fix them, what can be done? I’m sure the city has something to say, but can a citizen bring a civil suit against the building? What if somebody gets bi...

My Roommate Won’t Pay Rent and Won’t Leave. What Can I Do?

The New York Times The New York Times | 1 year ago

Q: Two years ago, my wife and I got a roommate to share the rent-stabilized apartment in Manhattan that we’ve lived in for 40 years. A year ago, he stopped paying rent for his room — he didn’t claim job loss or another hardship, he just refused to pay. We do not have a written agreement with him, so we asked him to move out, but he refused. We hired a lawyer, but our claim could not proceed because he applied for the Emergency Rental Assistance Program, and that case is still pending. He h...

latimes latimes | 1 year ago

Several deadlines and extensions have come and gone under California’s COVID-19 eviction moratorium. The statewide tenant protection for renters expired last week, two years after the first protections went into effect during the start of the pandemic.

Such is the case for dozens of endangered species that are in threat of being erased from the planet.
