Well thats true, but if you violate the pet clause, and get caught well too bad...

I also noticed that there are very very few cases where a landlord has tried to evict someone for harboring a CAT...

Maybe you should take a hint.............CAT POWER!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

: The pet law was meant to prevent arbitrary use of a Pet clause on long term renters. Too often if the landlord decided they didn't like someone then they would use the pet clause against them ....(i.e. complaining about no heat, missing the rent by a day, parting you hair on left instead of the right)....

: You're an ingorant slut because dogs that are a nuisance i.e peeing a crapping where alway evictatable...

:
: YOU NEED THERAPY...stop using this board as a means to vent your screwed up life...

: WAK

: : I am really an easy person to get along with...but to me anyone who has a dog in New York City is nuts......

: : I have had my share of barking, peeing, krapping and stupid ignorant dog owners in my life... and in my opinion there are more bad dog owners then good...

: : In our other apartment we had one dog owner on the 5th floor who would let his dog run in the hallways barking yapping peeing and then wind up at MY door barking cause he smelled our cats at 6:15-7 am almost every morning..... I kept yelling at this dope carry your dog downstairs and take him out......FINALLY other people complained and it was close...we Almost had him EVICTED YEHHHH!!!!! Thats just one of many examples of bad dog owners...

: : CAT POWER!!!!!

: : : Security guards and maintenance workers at an apartment building are not considered agents who have a duty to notify the landlord when a tenant's lease provisions are violated, a panel of the Appellate Term, First Department, has ruled. The landlord's petition to remove the tenants, who had kept a dog, Rocky, in violation of their lease, was originally denied because it was filed too late. Housing Part Judge Howard Malatzky had said Seward Park Housing Corp. should have been aware of Rocky's presence earlier because personnel who worked at the complex could have seen the dog and notified the landlord. The appellate panel reversed, saying the building's workers "would not be reasonably expected to report that they had seen a person walking a dog."

: : : ==============================================

: : : For people who live in Manhattan and the Bronx, this decision severely limits their ability to keep a dog in violation of a lease provision banning pets, by making New York City Administrative Code §27-2009.1(b) virtually meaningless. Other courts have previously ruled that a non-resident superintendent could not be expected to observe a tenant walking a dog.
