It’s not just bad for your health – it’s also bad for mine, and the other people who live in 100+ apartments behind the 14th Street IHOP. The local owner of this grease pit somehow persuaded the DOB to allow them to place the restaurant’s heavy equipment and ventilation system on the “roof” of the 1-story extension behind the building, instead of on the building’s actual roof; as a result, the (considerable) noise, and the smell of rancid bacon are channeled directly into the windows of homes up and down East 15th Street. My apartment now smells like the kitchen of a cheap hotel after the breakfast rush. All.The.Time. If any of your readers get wind (hah!) that their neighborhood is the next to be invaded by IHOP (I’m looking at you, Chelsea/Limelight area), tell them to sell. Sell now. Because if you wait until after the IHOP has opened, you’ll be trapped.
