I live in a rent-stabilized apartment in NYC. I have some people living with me. They do not pay rent. They are welcome in my apartment. We are in a relationship.
The super does not like them; he's been here about 2 years. (I've been here over 30 years). He is not well liked. He especially does not like one of my guests. I'm not sure why as he is quiet and reserved. So yesterday, he instituted a new procedure: all "guests" have to sign in and sign out. My friend is pretty convinced this is aimed solely at him. In fact last night the super came to my apartment to explicitly tell me they (and esp that guests) has to sign in and out.
I told them to comply as the super watched the cameras in the lobby and if the doormen let them go in and out without signing, they will get in trouble. The super has already tried to have one very well liked doorman fired.
Other tenants have had screaming fights with the super, including my next door neighbor.
So my question is: Is this "rule" something the super can on his own enforce? And can he enforce it selectively?
Thanks.
