These Manhattan building dwellers are itching for some court intervention. <\/p>\n
Residents of the Parker Gramercy at 10 W. 15th St. are ready to rid themselves of an alleged fourth-floor hoarder who is the source of a bedbug outbreak, Manhattan Supreme documents state. But the tenant bugging everybody says extermination isnt needed because hes only been bitten about 18 times this year. <\/p>\n
The 21-floor Parker Gramercy in the Flatiron District, where co-ops can go for $2 million, has a doorman and 24-hour concierge. <\/p>\n
The bane of the building, identified as Neil McNaughton, 68, refuses to exterminate his louse lair, according to court documents. <\/p>\n
Building property manager Lisa Golub pleaded with the court in a sworn emergency deposition Oct. 23 to compel the defendant to immediately clean apartment 418, which is in Collyers hoarding condition and allowing for immediate bedbug extermination in the apartment. <\/p>\n
Golub warned in her affidavit that if McNaughton doesnt follow through the widespread issue will continue to reoccur and cause damage to all occupants in the building. <\/p>\n
Since December, building management has repeatedly warned McNaughton but those requests have been ignored, the court papers show. <\/p>\n
Whether the bedbug extermination in this particular case is essential or non-essential could be debated, since I have only suffered around a dozen and a half bites since December, McNaughton wrote to opposition attorneys. <\/p>\n
The court filing referred to McNaughtons conduct as a ticking time bomb. <\/p>\n
Neither the plaintiff nor McNaughton immediately responded to messages. <\/p>\n
