As if living in one of the most desired places on earth wasn't a headache already, imagine paying close to 7,000 dollars a month for an apartment (which is a valid reason for the price to be as high as it is, it is in New York City, and we are in the middle of an inflation so the math does add-up) but still not being able to walk thru the main lobby, if you are a dog owner sounds absurd. Tenants in this apartment building located in Tribeca must follow that rule or else they could be fined. But my question is … is it worth paying that much for a place when there are other buildings in the area that have no pet-restrictions. Well, it seems like as long as these places do not have any major restrictions tenants do not mind entering and exiting through the service entrance with their lovely dogs. I know some tenants would rather settle for buildings with mild restrictions than for their dogs to not be allowed to live in the building at all. Also, others do not want to go through the headache of searching the market for pet-free buildings.
Shouldn’t these building owners know by now that half of NYC are pet owners, most of these pets are more like family to people. I mean let's be realistic more than half the people in NYC would rather deal with their pets then with another person.
I do I get it, I understand the logic behind the restrictions of why dogs aren’t allowed to walk through the main lobby, there is people who are genuinely allergic to dogs. But wouldn’t you want to live in a building that has no pet restrictions or one that simply has dog treats for your dog at the entrance of the building? Are these policies rational or is it discriminating against the little furry tenants? I know people want to live by the standards of society and fit-in by living in a small apartment in the heart of NYC where they can’t even hear their thoughts with the constant honking from cabs, busses and cars. But if you’re willing to pay that much for an apartment in NYC wouldn’t you want to take the elevator and walk freely as you please and go about your day without any worries. Because you’re a pet owner you might only have access to the service entrance not that there is anything wrong with it, we respect the service entrance without it we wouldn’t be able to sneak in and out the building without running into our next-door neighbor who happens to be our archenemy. For those who want to be close to the city so badly maybe think of other options like moving to the other side of the Hudson River, a more affordable area and hopefully with less pet restrictions… hopefully.
