I live in a rent stablized apartment in NY city, the landlord recently installed a ventilation unit on the roof (on top of 18th fl), my apartment is on the 17th, and it makes loud throbbing noises day and night 24/7, it is in my living room myhallway, bathroom, kitchen and even in the bedroom at night when it's quite outside. we complain to the super since 4/8, and he did not do anything. I think I want to take the next step, but my boyfriend is afraid of landlord retaliation, we have a lovely apartment and do not want to have any trouble with the landlord (they are not very nice people). but I can not live with the noise either. what are my best options? I do not have a lot of faith in the DHCR. because one time I was physically threatened by the handyman (I filed a police report) and filed a compliant with the DHCR, they rejected the complian citing "isolated incidence". do they wait till some one get hurt or killed to take harassment compliants?
please help with your advise..thanks :confused:
