Our small co-op has a terrible rear yard neighbor. It's a privately-owned 5-story tenement with a ground floor commercial tenant which is a Chinese restaurant. We've tried to call NYC agencies about the multiple noise, sanitation complaints, but have had not luck with the sanitation problems. The restaurant has a 3-4 foot "alley" as a rear yard and they have turned it into an outdooor storage area. There are boxes of empty beer bottles, and garbage stored there permenantly. They have gerry-rigged a cardboard and plywoord "shanty" roof over the area and keep it weighted down with buckets. Isn't it illegal for them to block egress in case of a fire? There is also a very bad cooking odor migration happening that causes our rear shareholders real concern. The managing agent of the rental building does not care what his tenant's do--we guess they pay a decent rent to him. Anyone know who we can call to issue possible violations? Their air handlers and ventilation on lower rear roof is old and noisey and unsightly as well. They leave old pails and brooms on their lower roof which again, is horrible to look at. They are the ONLY bad neighbor out of 5 surrounding buildings.
