ok, I have my own apartment a nice clean 2bdroom apartment in brooklyn.. I am a hop skip and a Jump from Coney Island, and literally around the corner and down the block, from the belt.. this apartment used to be my great grandmothers before she passed away.. when this happened, i found it to be too much for me emotionally to stay there.. so my fiance, asked me to move in with him. the area he lives in is not so great, and if it werent for the fact that there are literally cops on every corner, every hour of the day, here this place would be downright chaotic.. my fiance's apartment is located in spanish harlem, it is very nice, it is a cozy (and much smaller) 2bdroom that is 17 stories up, with a nice view of downtown manhatten.
..and so begins my rant...
now we have these neighbors who constantly throw food and trash outside of the window. every day and night.. and it lands on our window ledge now you are probably thinking ok, so they have a small child who really doesnt know any better right? WRONG!!! it is this woman and her 2 daughters. she is 40, and her daughters are 15 and 16 and so i get even more pissed, and before i start to go upstairs to give them a piece of my mind, i start to think well maybe they are mentally disabled, and do not know any better. and that is when i find out that no, they are not disabled in any way, shape, or form, so they are fully conscientious of their actions. my fiance wants to go upstairs and have a talk with the mother, but lets face it, he is a 6'8" and 350lb man, and so knowing how people are sometimes, they may say that he said or did something that he would not do. we spoke to the housing manager, and nothing has changed..the building is 18 stories tall, and we live on the 17th floor, cops are always on the roof so it is not like its kids on the roof that is doing this.. we know its them. this past summer has been hot as hell, so if you have food on a window ledge, in hot weather, it would of course attract flies and other insects... my fiance works and goes to school and so do i we are both very busy and so when we are out of the house some 17 hours in the day, we cant constantly monitor the window ledge cleaning up what ever filth they throw.. the incinerator in like 10 feet from the damn door so they have no excuse. the neighbor i have spoken to have said that she is a nasty b*tch and so are her daughters so what do we do? mind you i have a few ideas that i'd like to try out but it may get my fiance kicked out, or me arrested and those are not risks that i am willing to take. as if the food thing wasnt bad enough, they also make a lot of noise.. in the daytime they blast their 5hitty "reggaeton music" or whatever the hell that 5hit is called, and at night the girls pretend that they are having sex by screaming out... they are very bad actors and so they do it to be obnoxious.. housing isnt doing a damn thing about these people, and god forbid we should say anything to them because they'll either lie and say we attacked them or some 5hit like that, or they say we are racist against them.. my fiance and i are both of mixed dissent..and we have spanish mixed in there somewhere. but i say we are black on paper..i still have my apartment mind you, but my bf wants to stay here because it is easier for him to get to and from school and work.. the same also applies me.. my job is in lower manhatten and my school is in hell's kitchen, on the west side by new jersey.. i would end up spending 4x the amount i spend now in transportation, if i were to go to school and work from brooklyn.. so since that really isnt a viable option, what do we do about these people?
