Making Friends on State Street
The folks now living in the recently-constructed townhouse on State between Nevins and Bond aren’t exactly making friends on the block, it appears. Over the weekend, they decided to do a little jackhammering, much to the chagrin of the some neighbors. “What the hell were they jackhammering in a basically 6 month old house?” asks…
The folks now living in the recently-constructed townhouse on State between Nevins and Bond aren’t exactly making friends on the block, it appears. Over the weekend, they decided to do a little jackhammering, much to the chagrin of the some neighbors. “What the hell were they jackhammering in a basically 6 month old house?” asks the tipster who sent this in. Has to be either for the cellar or the backyard, we’d guess. Did anyone have the pleasure of hearing these shenanigans? Any other tales of particularly inconsiderate neighbors this weekend? GMAP
Why would they be in the city on a weekend in the summer anyway? Don’t they go to the Hamptons? Or are they poor? Gross.
“311 Knows What You Did Last Weekend”
“311 knows what you’ve done”
I didn’t even notice, even all the tape is the same on the notes. What a jerk, writing all those notes to make it appear a groundswell of anger. It’s one annoymous jerk who doesn’t even have the temerity to just try talking to their neighbor who probably lives right next door.
One person speculates the tipster is the note-writer and in the space of two posts speculation becomes fact. I guess its par for the course in blog comments.
I’m the tipster, not the note-writer.If, after all the bombardment my ears have taken from bands’ sound systems, I could even hear construction noise a block and half away from my house, I’d actually say, “Hallelujah, it’s a miracle!”
You must have a specific variance permit to do construction work on Saturdays. I found this out the hard way when I was issued a stop work order on a site after my GC insisted that our standard permit allowed us to work on Saturdays.
Someone missed their meds.
Summertime is when most construction takes place. My block is one of the quietest blocks in Cobble Hill, but there has been loud work going on all summer, get used to it. Those signs look like it was written by a college student in a dorm room, the tape on the door will most likely ruin the finish. Why didnt the complainers just go over there rather than hide behind notes?, and if they are written all with the same handwriting,like the above poster said, who’s to say other people on the block cared and arent already used to it?…to the person who wrote it…how long have you lived in your apartment?…looks like theres no sympathy for you, grab some earplugs,
What a bunch of budding Sherlocks!
Wow! I’m impressed. did you guys figure that all by yourself? Geniuses!
BTW, what are relative hours?
Are there stipulated times that the in-laws can visit? Who knew?
