Not one word has been omitted.

Hi Ms. Tarnofsky,

Ellen here with just a question...?

We spoke on Friday re: Honey v. Hudson View Gardens.

I wanted to emphasize that I believe there are two issues here. The cat going out and the cat door itself. The latter which is what feels most pressing.

Now I know you have not yet agreed to take my case, however in lieu of an agreement I fear if we need go with an injunction to stop them before Wednesday, meeting late on Tuesday may not give us enough time. I understand Injunctions are labor-intensive not to mention expensive, but I fear without one and if a strong letter doesn't stop them, then getting a door put back will be a problem since the Board reserves the right to O.K. every project.

The other reason I wish the door to remain is that this door is within the old casement windows of my bedroom. As it happens the window in the bedroom is also out to a fire escape. These are large 4-feet x 5-feet windows that open inward, and lock when they are closed. Because I am in a ground floor apartment for safety issues, it has been nice to be able to open the cat door to get some fresh air in at night. Because it is a fire escape I cannot bar the window. The other windows in the apartment open outward and can be braced to only open a few inches. Yet here while I am on the first or ground floor, the windows are high enough up that the cat can jump out but not back in.

So, without further complaint, my question is, could we meet sooner, so if we decide that an injunction is our best plan, we/you actually have time to execute one?

Thank You and Sincerely,

Ellen

Aren't you glad you don't live in New York City?

I know I am.

Where's Flautist when we really need her, anyway?
