This week marks the second year that the tenants at 452 Ft. Washington Ave. living in the 2-line have not had bathrooms in their apartments.

In January 2008 water soaked the floors, walls and beams in the building. Tenants say the water came from a hole in the roof. Landlord Dorothea Levine believes a broken pipe on the fifth floor is to blame. No matter what caused the damage, contractors entered each bathroom in the line and completely removed the fixtures and floors, leaving little besides wall studs and plastic sheeting in their wake.

When your cell phone rings, you don’t think about how that call got to you. It most likely came from an antenna mounted on the roof of a private building. The panels, scattered on rooftops across the city, bounce the calls and text messages that are part of daily life from phone to phone.

However some of the residents of 165 Pinehurst Ave. are concerned that there are too many antennae on their building, weighing down the roof and sending too many electrical waves into their homes.
