Last Friday, the residents of the
tenth floor found this letter tacked to their door (even residents who
don't have rooftop access received the letter), courtesy of Mr. Yee.
We believe that Andrew Tilley (or one of his employees) called this violation in on the building himself. If you want to look at the complaint on the DOB website, you’ll notice that the language is quite different from that of the usual complaint called in by a resident. Tilley has several reasons for wanting to do this, which include:
2. He wants the roof cleared so he can put a club up there. (We’ve been saying this all along: both BD and Tilley have made clear that they want this. There are several more hurdles that they must clear—including getting the Stop Work Order lifted—but taking the roof away from the tenants is a huge first step.)
3. It’s a general harassing technique designed to get tenth floor residents to eventually move. (Don’t discount this: along with the needless security and the other nastiness, the plan is to make people decide it’s not worth it to fight.)
Basically, it is
our opinion that all residents should unite in opposing this new policy. This same thing will be happening soon to the
residents with balconies, as well as the rest of us over fireplaces, smoke
detectors and various issues. The idea
is to hassle us all as much as possible. -- Ed Hamilton
