Seems many Schwab House East Wing residents desire sleep but are challenged by that little dog left for hours at a time on the terrace across the street — 284 West End Avenue, a 10 unit rental building built in 1920.

Some SH residents video record the incredibly powerful lung capacity of this little dog barking for extended periods of time at all hours of the night, others take photos. Reports/complaints regarding the dog have been made to our mangement who, in turn, direct residents to contact 311. This has been an ongoing and unacceptable noise issue for quite some time and as of Monday night nothing has changed except it finally crossed a line for me, one that should have triggered action long ago.

I've researched and discovered the name and address of the property owners and intend to write them in an effort to amicably resolve this situation. This is where you come in.

Power in numbers!

As impacted residents/victims I ask that you sign this petition. Your names will help shine a light for the owners on the unreasonableness in conduct of their tenants by allowing this dog to disturb the peace . . . our peace! Certainly if we hear the loud barking echoing off the buildings then the dog owners, only inches away, can too. It is foreseeable to me that as the weather improves these tenants will keep their dog outdoors on the terrace for even longer periods of time which means more noise, disruption, and sleeplessness. All of this is not the fault of the dog but the terrace tenants.

To me, the best approach is to present a signed petition from impacted SH residents. Owners of 284 WEA in receipt of our petition must act in good faith and in a responsible way toward resolving this nuisance and disruption to our lives. This petition will evidence the need for owner intervention with their terrace tenants as soon as possible.

Enough is Enough!!
