USELESS REGULATIONSNov 15, 2024

Living in a corner coop apt. with zero foot traffic with the exception of my own or my visitors, a floor mat has prevented dirt from even the outside hallway carpet. I live on a lower level which receives lots of dust & dirt. Before the mat, there was constant foot prints all over my floors from outside of my door. I've had door mats in front of my doors in houses since childhood. Had my mat here for 5 years. It's now even noticed. Regulations in NYC are totally out of control. Making no logical sense. So the hallway carpet is not a fire hazard but a small little mat is????

Call the fire dept. ask them . Also mention other items in the hallway. Hopefully they will come and give the co-op a fine and then blame the board!! I’ve contacted the fire dept regarding questions besides I have a relative in the dept.
