The Utopia Jewish Center's Air conditioner is literally driving us insane. They were issued a violation of the NYC Air/Noise code on 9/4 but still have not gotten appropriate repairs. I have not been able to work in my garden since August. On Saturday we bbq with noise cancelling head phones!!! I am seriously considering moving. The noise is throughout my house. Nowhere to escape. Do you know a lawyer or group that could help me. I am NOT looking for pro bono work. I am willing to pay anyone that could help me resolve this issue. I have already started to document our health and mental issues dealing with this. I understand that I can sue for interference with the use of my property. I need to find the right person to help me. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Thanks for any suggestions.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Later today she sent me this email:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> I was told today by members of the congregation that they have no intention of fixing the problem. I spoke to Rory Lancman’s office and they will try to help me. Apparently I have to escalate my complaints. I filed another complaint with 311. In any case, sad as it makes me feel.
