I have a question I hope someone might be able to answer. I live in a fairly large building (approx. 70 apartments) and I have an apartment that happens to have a window to the rear fire escape. Problem is: my apartment faces an alley that exits right onto a fairly busy street and my (irresponsible) neighbors always leave the gate open which allows a perfect view of my apartment window. I’m on the second floor so I’d be the easiest apartment to try to break into. I’ve asked my super a number of times about a gate being put on those windows but he tells me it’s illegal. Any on have any input on this? It makes me want to move.
