i just bought a condo in brooklyn and there is a little lobby with all the doorbells to the apartments,and mailboxes.There is this bum that lives in the area and from time to time he just sleeps in the lobby and he has this horrable smell.The smell goes all through the lobby and in the elevator and since the elavator opens directly in your apartment the smell goes everywhere.I'v called the cops and they tell me that they can't arrest him,because hes not doing anything wrong,all they do is remove him.BUT ISN'T HE TRESPASSING????if any one can please give me some advice i would greatly apperciate it.

HE IS TRESPASSING THE POLICE ARE SUPPOSED TO REMOVE HIM. REPORT THE POLICE THAT REFUSE TO DO THEIR JOBS. CALL THE BUILDING OWNERS OR ALERT THE CONDO BOARD. TELL THE BUILDING OWNERS THAT YOU WILL SUE THEM FOR A LACK OF SECURITY. WATCH HOW FAST THEY MOVE TO GET RID OF HIM. I HAVE ANOTHER SUGGESTION TO GET RID OF HIM BUT I WOULD GET IN TROUBLE IF I POST IT. YOU KNOW I LIVED IN BROOKLYN FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS MYSELF, AND IF IT'S NOT ROUGH IT'S NOT RIGHT. DON'T LISTEN TO THE CRAZY'S ON HIS SITE BY NO MEANS SHOULD YOU LET THAT GUY ANYWHERE NEAR YOUR HOUSE. THEY OBVIOSLY DON'T KNOW THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE NYC HOMELESS ARE DERANGED INDIVIDUALS CAPABLE OF DOING HARM TO YOU. I HAVE LIVED IN THE CITY FO 40 YEARS, THE ONES THAT WANT HELP GET THE ONES THAT DON'T STAY IN THE STREET THEY ARE DANGEROUS PEOPLE. GET RID OF HIM AS SOON AS YOU CAN. IT MAY SOUND MEAN BUT I WOULD HATE TO SEE YOU OR READ ABOUT YOU IN THE LOCAL NEWS. CALL NY1 THEY MAY BE ABLE TO HELP. OR CALL 311 FOR HELP.

Post the hall "No loitering, residents only please". This should cover the trespassing statute. As a matter of course if this bum has been told by you or the police that he is not to return then yes....it can be a criminal trespass.
Call the precinct and ask to speak to the Desk Sergeant. Insist you don't want the cops to get into hot water but you want it made perfectly clear to the bum he is to stay off the premises...period or he'll be arrested. I'm sure the supervisor will accomadate you.

CUT the guy a break.
Statistics state that quite a few members of the american population are 3 paychecks away from being homeless.
This could be you if you loose your job.
WOuld you really want someone to throw you out into the very cold street.
Dont make a huge issue of it until summer.
It would be compassionate of you to offer him some of your old clean clothing or a blanket. Maybe a can of soup (with the pull tab).
Who knows what his situation is...would you still feel the same way if he did not stink?
If so maybe you could locate a mens shelter in the area where he could go and catch a shower. Dont actually talk to him, just leave a note for him with the information on it and the instructions on how to get there. If you wanted to be really nice you could even throw in a few bucks for him to get a cup of coffee on the way.
Think about walking 20 feet in his shoes!
This man may feel like no one cares and it would brighten his world to know that someone does.
YOu will feel so good about yourself for doing this and you will solve your problem of the bad smell without denegrating this man more than he already has been!

I would say that yes, he's trespassing.
My recommendation (I'm sure you won't like it) is to invite him in for a shower. Next time you're out, stop at the Goodwill, and see if you can find a cheap outfit that looks like it will fit him (in my town, you can get stuff for 50 cents a pound, so it's not like it's a big investment). Let him swap outfits, and after the shower, he won't smell so bad. He'll also be much warmer, from the hot water, and may be more comfortable outside.

The property needs to be posted. Talk to the manager or security and ask them to put up a NO TRESPASSING sign. Then if the man continues, the police have to arrest him because he has trespassed.

consistent with danger he gets on the valuables via fact he's conscious certainly one of you protection guards. If his %. have time dates on them inspect each and all the dates and circulate reference them with who become working that day/shift. specific guards ought to save doping up on those dates, optimistically it will be in basic terms one. then you definately can enable the top protection guy understand which you'll be out of city for some days (while that look after is working). purchase some protection cameras and the two set them up on the roads onto your aspects or on the homes, camp out in front of the video reveal instruments and notice what happens. heavily, if there is not any holes on your fence (examine them sturdy) and he's entering into with 3 human beings, it quite is quite fishy. or you may attempt to touch this photographer (some web pages enable you circulate away them a message or you ought to attempt depending on networking web pages applying the reveal screen call he has on his image internet site) as the two a budding photographer who's in awe of his artwork and searching for some regulations, talk him up and he could enable you recognize greater approximately his capturing region. be beneficial to assert your in a distinctive state so he will experience greater comfortable. Or get some %. of a warm female and fake your a kind searching for some rustic pictures on your portfolio, or in spite of the shown fact that those %. look. If all else fails tell your adult males to no longer circulate interior of 10 ft of all the homes and set up undergo traps, which will instruct that mofo to stay off your land lol.

they should be trying to help him get a place to sleep at night. technically i think that is public property. you own the condo, not the lobby where the mail boxes are. talk to the owner of the entire building maybe he can do something.

You will have to get a group to go to the managers and get this taken care of, since he is never in your condo...that isn't trespassing. If he is in your building, it is up to the managers and owners of the building to resolve this issue.

Only the owner of the building can press trespassing charges.

Since he won't leave ask him ,if he goes to a shelter and gets cleaned up you'll buy him lunch,just because he's a "bum" doesn't mean he's not human....They are a pain but it will not hurt to show some compassion.....It could be you in a couple years.
