The board at Caton Towers in Kensington, Brooklyn has called Jacqueline Peters disruptive, whereas Peters says she has a right to protect her health.
It began with a request for a washing machine to accommodate a disabling sensitivity to laundry smells.And now, a disabled woman faces the prospect of being kicked out of her one-bedroom co-op in Brooklyn.
But the board won’t say exactly what Peters has done wrong, said her lawyer, Ian J. Brandt of Davidoff Hutcher & Citron. Doctor’s notes filed in court papers show that she is sensitive to smoke, fumes and dust — which cause migraines, burning eyes, sore throat, dizziness, fatigue and palpitations. The building has many “contiguous and adjacent neighbors” and was built “in or about 1964 with typical construction of the period . . . It is not a sound or odor/fume/scent/smoke proof building,” says a letter from another co-op lawyer, Steven S. Anderson of Anderson & Ochs.urging residents to report violations of its smoking ban. The current rule bans marijuana and incense, too, with fines starting at $200.
“I have followed every rule and step required by the building and board,” the upstairs neighbor wrote to the management, as shown in court papers. “I have rights to renovate my bathroom as a shareholder and that is all I am asking to do.”
