Given that you’re a renter in a Manhattan condo and have reported serious, ongoing harassment — including false police reports, stalking, and noise disturbances — combined with your status as a disabled veteran, there may be a viable claim against the condo management for failing to take appropriate action.
New York housing laws and the Fair Housing Act offer protections against harassment and discrimination, especially involving service animals and disabilities.

Should I sue my building if I’m being harassed by a neighbor?
Lexi, Chatbot
I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing harassment from your neighbor; that can be very distressing. Have you already documented any incidents of the harassment?
Yes
Lexi, Chatbot
Have you attempted to resolve the issue with your building management or through mediation?
Yes, but no real action has been taken by the building board or management.
Lexi, Chatbot
Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your neighbor harassment.
Yes

Good morning.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. It’s incredibly frustrating when management doesn’t take meaningful action. Since you’ve documented the harassment and already attempted resolution, you may have grounds to pursue legal action against both the neighbor and possibly the building for failing to address the issue — that would typically be the next step.
Can you explain more about the facts here? That may better guide me as to whether you have a viable cause of action.
I am a renter in a condo located in Manhattan. I have a neighbor who calls the police every time she sees me and my service dog. She screams and falsely claims we attack her. When we are alone, however, she stalks me and my girlfriend. We also have a second neighbor who plays a noise machine 24/7 that can be heard in our apartment. I am a disabled veteran as well.
