The Unwelcome Pitter-Patter of Little Feet

This weekend’s The Hunt column in The Times focused on the perennial problem of noisy neighbors, highlighting a couple who had to move out of a Cobble Hill rental because the noise of kids playing in the hallway had become unbearable. The children in the building used the couple’s door as a soccer goal, they say, and the “noise level was so far beyond anything reasonable that comes with living in close quarters.” As it happens, the kids in the building are the subject of a short documentary called “Wyckoff Place” that shows them banging about the hallways. The tipster who passed along the link to the short notes: “Darling, lovable, adorable, or demonic, unsupervised, maddening? People can judge for themselves.” Meanwhile, the pair profiled in the story ended up finding a new apartment in Carroll Gardens that’s much quieter.
