Habibi Lounge

It is currently 1:34 AM, Friday night. With my window closed, I can both hear and smell the downstairs Habibi Lounge.

I have called the 9th Precinct and I urge you all to do the same: (212) 477-7811

Not only is the noise uncontrollable, but they are smoking & drinking on the street, which is ILLEGAL.

They disrespect not only every single tenant in this building but also our neighbors.

PLEASE CALL THE 9TH PRECINCT! DO NOT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS.

(212) 477-7811


EDITED TO ADD:

IT IS NOW 2:28AM. After calling Habibi directly and telling them to lower the music or I would notifiy the police department, they verbally assaulted me, and then proceeded to call me back and threaten me. Pretty ridiculous.

I have lived 15 years in this building.
I am very much in agreement that Galron Realty has led to the serious demise & health safety of this building. Everyday I weigh up the pros & cons of staying here, which ultimately has to be the goal of the Landlord. I too, have been greeted with foul language & disrespect when calling the offices. All basic requested maintenance jobs have been tardy, poor, sloppy and cosmetic.
I have damp creeping up my walls were the masonry is constantly disintegrating & turning into powder. Which I inhale. I cannot paint over this.
















This Spring, I had to listen to the continuous loud scampering of rats up & down the ceiling. (they were breeding in the floorboards above) To add to this, they had climbed up the outside wall one floor & scratched their way into my apt via an external pipe entry. I was awakened each night for several weeks to their furious scratching. I informed the building management & this was classified as a non emergency & I would have to wait. When the exterminator finally called he tried to assure me that it was mice. Once he saw the 6" hole created he quickly changed his mind. I had rat feces all over my home. Disgusting. It truly felt that the rats had overtaken the building.

In addition:
The front door lock is infuriating.
Garbage area is dangerous (unstable), rat infested & foul smelling. Honestly, it often smells like a dead body is out there.
Hallways are constantly filthy.

I would like to aid the process of getting a 3rd party management involved.
