New York Woman Says Her Landlord Is Leaving Her to Deal With an Endless Noise Nightmare: ‘I Would Hold That Rent Until It’s Fixed’

A New York woman’s life has become a nightmare due to the endless noise disturbance caused by the condenser. She described the situation as horrible because she paid $4,500 for the apartment and felt that the landlord was ignoring her complaints.

The video was shared on the woman’s TikTok account, cedonifrancis. It received tens of thousands of views, with many commenters criticizing the landlord for their lack of action.

The woman said that the landlord told her they couldn’t fix it. She protested, saying that the law explicitly stated that they had to fix the issue because it was so bad that she hadn’t gotten a full night’s sleep since her birthday. She had just moved in two weeks ago.

She also attached a clip of the sound, which included banging. The New York woman asked if she could change units, but the ones they offered her were a lot more expensive than the one she currently had. Since many people were leaving the building, she asked if she could move into one of the recently vacated apartments, but they rejected her request because they claimed it wasn’t allowed. The woman said that this wasn’t true because it wasn’t written in the lease or any contract she had signed. It got so bad that the woman decided to move out and find another place.

New York Woman’s Landlord Faces Calls for Legal Action

It wasn’t just the woman who was upset with the landlord, since plenty of commenters also had plenty of rude things to say about them. Some users also tried to advise the woman, with the most common suggestion being to sue the landlord. “I would hold that rent until it’s fixed,” one user wrote.

“Hi! Recent law school grad here (with a certificate in RE law and experience in Kings County Housing Court). Make sure you keep records of all this (noise, communications, leases, etc.). Call 311 to report the issue and look into starting an HPD action against your landlord. You can also call the Housing Justice Hotline through Legal Aid for free legal advice (the number is different for each borough, so make sure you’re calling the right one)!” another user wrote.

Others, however, said that the New York woman should avoid luxury apartments due to poor construction and recommended prewar apartments and brownstones. The woman, however, explained that she often received packages, so she needed a doorman to sign for them. She did say that once she was ready to settle down, she would look for brownstones.

For now, the New York woman may have to endure the noise a little longer until she moves out. Maybe the landlord will change their mind if Mayor Zohran responds to her call for help.
