The talk of the dog run behind the Novo condo is about how someone living in the 4th Avenue building threw an egg down into the run a couple weeks ago, evidently to show that he/she was not at all pleased with a dog’s barking. The incident happened after 8 p.m., when the run is technically supposed to be closed. (Its official hours of operation end at dusk.) Nevertheless: Extreme measures! According to a guy who was in the run at the time, the egg came very close to hitting him, and he thinks it would have been quite painful if it had connected. Another person who frequents the dog run says a Novo resident came out one morning recently and asked owners to quiet down their dogs because his baby was sleeping. Novo owners have previously complained about noise from the nearby handball courts and skateboard park, but this is the first instance we’ve heard of in which someone from the condo went crazy over the dog run noise. Neither the dog run or condo are going anywhere, so it’ll be interesting to see how they coexist in the long term.

  1. a shattered egg hitting someones eye at the right angle can actually cause someone to go blind. the person throwing the egg was really stupid doing that. they should have flung a turd tied up neatly in a butt wipe!

    *rob*

  2. “I bet that person hasn’t had any sex in a long time. I would have told him/her to STFU and go somewhere else if he/she didn’t like it.”

    Yeah didbs, the first person that tells me that I’ll tell her to do it to her bf! (or gf)

  3. benson, having been there, I think you have a lot of reverberating surfaces that exacerbate the problem. You got stone walls on each side, plus gravel. I think the sound really bounces around.

  4. Egg toss is over the line. Owners in these new anonymous high rises need to respect the fact that they are part of a neighborhood and not be such overentitled strangers. Just open the window and yell S T F U like everyone else does it in Brooklyn.

    Seriously, I’m with BOD on this one. Dog shouldn’t have been in there barking after hours but not unexpected. Either get out there yourself and talk to the owner or call 311. But egg toss is an assault.

  5. dibs, yes it’s true i jumped to conclusions and did not read the story. Still upsets me that people complain about noise after they’ve bought into a place next to obviously noisy areas. and yes, that building is fuggo….wow
