Many dog owners are really inconsiderate and irresponsible.
I'm lightly allergic, and dog owners in my building will just let their dog jump on me in the elevators and the lobby. I'm ok with dogs around (which is why I ended up renting in a pet friendly building) but holy fuck why would you let it just jump on people. Then there's always a log or two at the tree on the block, and often a puddle of piss literally on our front door step. Again, holy fuck you're in control, don't let it piss wherever it wants...
There are one or two dog owners in my building who keep a tight leash indoors, they're awesome.

The dog owners in my buildings are bigger animals than the dogs themselves. Shit everywhere on surrounding blocks, unabated barking at all hours of the day and night. It’s an apartment building, not your personal fucking kennel.

Man, I live next to tons of people with dogs and they are all normal people. Sorry you seem to have gotten a bad break.
nychuman t1_j77jbpi wrote
Honestly man, I’ve always loved dogs growing up but it has made me very resentful towards them now.
I also felt a little mislead since the building never advertised any rules about dogs and my lease specifically said no pets.
This is what happens when you live in a neighborhood filled with entitled transplants, I guess. Partly my own fault.

These people annoy me. I have a dog in an apartment complex and I do not tolerate ANY barking, i have cameras set up with sound notifications so I know whenever she barks (she rarely does now due to training) and also make sure to curb her, pick up her shit and do all the right things because I never want to be THAT guy.
So when fucks just let their dog bark, don’t pick up shit, and let their dogs romp all over strangers it somehow reflects poorly on me and I just want to take their dogs leash, wrap it around their neck and drag them through the shit infested concrete they leave behind.

You’re one of the good ones!
I’ve been constantly woken up at 11pm, 1:30am, 6am, etc from extremely loud and obnoxious barking. There was a day recently where a dog barked for 2 hours straight.
The best part is I don’t know the exact apartment numbers so I can’t even file a formal complaint to the city!

I was outside twice today for a total of maybe half an hour and on both occasions I had to yell at inconsiderate dog owners who were standing on one side of the sidewalk while their animals were on the other with the leash stretched across.

I’ve run into a few people over the years who curb their dog. These are good, thoughtful people and responsible dog owners. The vast majority will leave piss puddles right in the middle of the sidewalk and think nothing of it.

The attitude towards dogs and dog owners in this city is so odd. The fact that they're not allowed on the subway is bizarre to me, as someone from London where it's no issue.
Yeah, there are a few people near me who clearly don't pick up after their dogs, but otherwise, zero issues.

They are allowed
Per the MTA: "Dogs and other animals must be in a bag or other container and carried in a way that doesn’t annoy other riders. Service animals and working animals with law enforcement agencies are allowed at all times."

As someone who is allergic to them, i'm so glad that they are discouraged from being on a packed train with me. If i get dog dander on any of my clothes they need to be washed with hot water immediately or everything else will be contaminated.
Being stuck in a small space with a dog (lots of hair and dander in the air) causes my eyes to turn red, welts to form on my skin, and have trouble breathing. Even if I never touch the dog, we're using the same space.
Also I know multiple neighbors on my block who refuse to pick up after their dogs. They still let their animals go to the bathroom wherever they want but at least they steer clear of my treepit after I confronted them and told them I was going to follow them home and load their mailbox with their own dog's shit from my treepit. It's really a shame that it had to go that far....

What a dumb story. Apartment buildings in NYC have had rules like this for years. I live in one and while it's reasonably nice, the rents aren't $7,000. The service elevator is constructed so it can easily be cleaned if there's an accident with an animal. Not everyone likes dogs and shouldn't be required to be near them at the front entrance, which is rather narrow. The side entrance is wider and better suited to entering and leaving with an animal.

I always thought that as a building gets more expensive, they have more stick rules, till a breaking point at which point the building caters to the wants and needs of the renters/owners.
If you have f-you money (6-figure yearly rent) and want to walk your dog through the lobby, I am sure you can find a building that will let you do that.

The person isn’t correct whatsoever. I’ve literally lived in, been to, or looked at, the most expensive buildings in NYC. This isn’t a thing, or at least not a common thing.
S3cretBoy t1_j7byakf wrote
This is definitely a thing. But I would say it’s certainly avoidable. My current condo has same rule. Weirdly you can’t walk the dog out of the front door (you must carry or go out the service entrance) but you can walk with your dog through the front entrance if you’re on your way into the building.
Don’t ask me why this a rule, it’s very dumb. I THINK their rational is, you’re dog needs to go out they don’t want it to have an “accident” in the lobby and they don’t want it peeing or shitting right in front of the building where doormen let people in and out.
Of all the doorman buildings (5 or 6 of them) I’ve lived in NYC over a decade, this is the only one that’s done this but it have seen apartments that do this

Generally true but often times the owners want a very specific look and “culture” in their spaces.
These rules keeps everyone in check as to not lower the optic value of the building.
We don’t want loud music, that’s ghetto. We are a posh society that likes our music classical and low.
We don’t like animals walking around, this isn’t a zoo after all, keep them on a leash and off the expensive floors.
Etc etc, it’s the same thing with HOA being anal about everything ppl do on their own property

Dogs are not kids.
The fact is a lot of people find having dogs indoors nasty. I’m one of them. To each their own, but I can’t stand being around them. I don’t want them brushing on my leg, leaving me to smell like dog. Or even worse, licking me or my kid. And my wife is allergic. To each their own. I get that people love them, and I’m ok with that. Thankfully we can avoid them for the most part, as they are not in many public spaces here. And our dog owners friends know this, so they keep them away when we go there. Obviously that’s not expected and we’re grateful, but the fact remains that we probably wouldn’t be visiting anywhere where we’d get molested by their house animals.
The point is that I’d be pissed if I chose an expensive place to live, specifically because of their strict animal policies, just to have them changed by an entitled dog owner that knew the rules of the building when he moved in

I was one of those workers who had to use the service elevator. This was also a building with a full-time elevator operator. So the service elevator only worked during certain hours. One day I was leaving this particular building to go to another jobsite and I found out that the elevator operator was out to lunch or something. I couldn't wait 30 minutes for him to return so i took the normal elevator. The doorman started to YELL at me to get out of hte lobby and go back inside to use the service elevator to leave hte building. I tried to explain that the operator was not there and he very angrily told me that "workers are absolutely NOT TO USE the resident elevators."
He also informed me that he was banning me from the premises because I asked him "so you expect me to be late to my next job because your boy is out to lunch?"
I'm sure he can't afford to live in that building but he was sure defending the dignity of the residents like it was his own. Imagine the horror of seeing a lowly cleaner with a toolbox in hte elevator... the horror.

When I mentioned it to the building management, they said they were not even allowed to ask about the nature of the ESA or to see the paperwork for fear of lawsuits based on ADA regulations.

In other news, New York Times journalists don't understand reciprocals.

Good. I don't like dogs, and don't want to deal with other people's badly trained pets pissing, shitting, barking,and jumping.

We have the rules in our building, guess what? No one complies anyway.

Yeah, that’s a shame.

That's....pretty normal? See it that way: some people are spending the same "7000 a month" and don't want to deal with your furry baby.
Unfortunately the prevalence of fake ESAs means its kind of a waste of time to try and enforce it.

My building’s average price is over $10m and we always allowed pets to use the normal elevator. Then after years, they recently changed the policy so that it doesn’t matter if you’re an owner or dog walker, you have to take service. New board apparently has some anti dog people. Which is ridiculous if you know some of these owners.
Anyway, we protested by just ignoring the rules. Currently, only one unit uses service and we all use normal. Sometimes you just have to get all your neighbors together to fight.

Organized rule breaking... that's not going to end well.

Considering they've not levied any fines to anyone yet, I'd say it's going pretty damn well.

Wait until someone without a dog decides there is a rule they don't want to follow either... good luck.
TizonaBlu t1_j7pubc2 wrote
If a rule is so bad that a significant percentage of the residents do not follow it, then I would say that the rule shouldn't have been in place anyway.
Also, you must be fun during the civil rights era.

Have fun explaining that.

Luxury building is what happens when you get a bunch of wealthy acting people in one building. I know most of my experiences with the wealthy acting is that they are particular about everything. That's saying they're assholes, but putting it kindly as to not offend some of those in the comment section.

Jesus fucking christ god forbid an adult has to pick up their doggie for just a few seconds or use a dedicated elevator
Sue me, but it surprises me that some of these so called "adults" can even function properly if that's the length they will go to for a pet. Do these people need to take a shit with their furry friend next to them too?

I have an SO and a dog that I love as much as any human family member. But guess what - I can function while also following the rules! You know why? Because I’m a normal adult and not a fucking 5 year old

An ESA is an actual medical treatment. There’re people who actually who need them to function on a daily basis. If you don’t have a medical reason, you are only ruining this for another person.

Boo hoo with your luxury building. I don't know why high rent should let you do whatever you want. Also sounds like he knew the rules when he got the dog.
I love dogs but the sense of entitlement amongst dog owners in this city is crazy.
