Good morning,

My super recently was doing his best to fortify the door to keep homeless people from coming into the building an sleeping in our lobby. It halfway work, but this morning, I caught the same homeless man that I've seen sleeping in the building before, sleeping in the little space between the main entrance and the entrance to the lobby. I WOULD NOT CARE AT ALL if he didn't stink. The problem is that now in this little space, the smell is concentrated.

I can't really complain to the higher ups because I just moved in on April 1st and my name isn't even on the lease (mother's is), I mean, I'm a good and courteous neighbor, but they wouldn't want me there as I'm not on the lease. Anyway, who can I contact to get rid of this homeless man reoccurring visits? What would you do?

If you were a really caring person, you might consider letting the guy come in and take a bath. Homeless people are still people. They have just fallen down on hard times.

If you feel uncomfortable allowing him into your home, maybe offer to give him a ride to the local shelter?

This is one of those times when people who have no concept of what it's like living in NYC should just stay out of the discussion.

Nice attitude.

What happens when you call the police for trespass?

You're not curious why your advice was rotten for NYC? No, I guess not. All you care about is calling others jerks.

NICE ATTITUDE.
