steve - sounds like you need to love in to a building that does not allow relatives or any visitores at all. wait - even better - one that does not allow inhabitants ! That way there is no "wear and tear." anyhow you miss the point- the point is that the lease gives your the right to have an occupation with foot traffic no matter what any fuss budget on the board says. of course, not excessive traffic - but you may have some.
Join the Conversation Comments (1)Steve - Actually, can you check your lease. What does it say in this clause? Can you tell us please?Naturally, it does not use the term "foot traffic" but it does tell you what occupations you may have -it will probably mention 'zoning' - You may not make disturbing noise or odors or use an area over 25% of the footage. Obviously, you cannot have tons of traffic. But you are certinaly allowed some. You can even have an employee. If your lease cites zoning laws - then there is no grey area. and what of nannies, housekeepers and dog -walkers - they are not 'foot traffic'?
I did check my PL, and I couldn't find anything near what you described. This is why I asked to see what it said in your's.
can you tell us what yrs does say?
Like I said, I could not find anything resembling what you described in your previous post regarding "Most co-op leases allow you to have occupations alowed by zoning. In NYC, this includes professional offices (shrink, artist studios, etc) as well as conducting music lessons for a single pupil at a time." Nor could I find anything that says, "the point is that the lease gives your the right to have an occupation with foot traffic no matter what any fuss budget on the board says." My PL must be deficient on both counts because I found nothing I can copy into this thread.
So please, K Lee, share with us the wording in *your* lease regarding occupations with foot traffic, or regarding anything having to do with allowable occupations, excepting, of course, provisions for "domestic employees", which most PL's *do* allow.

K Lee - Could I ask you to please cut-and-paste the sections from your proprietary lease which gives you the right to have an occupation in your unit that allows foot traffic? Thanks!
