I live on the ground floor and have two windows facing out on a backyard/courtyard in Brooklyn. The apartment across the hall was the same until its just-completed renovation. Unbeknownst to me until now, the landlord changed one of the windows into a door giving that apartment the implied right to use that outdoor space.
Did he have the right to do this? I fear that my life is about to become a nightmare once the place is rented to some trustfund hipster idiot who starts throwing parties out there right outside my windows. Is there anything I can do?
Thank you for any help you could give me in this matter.
Edited to add that I just went on the DOB site and saw no permit filed for the renovation or anything.
