What Can I Do About My Terrible Neighbor?
Q: I live in a co-op in Washington Heights. The neighbor directly below me passed away several years ago. Her grandson lived with her and remains in the apartment, though he does not own shares and is illegally living there. The unit has fallen to such neglect. We are now dealing with terrible smells and are infested with roaches and, we fear, rodents too. The building is offering a basic exterminating service, but it's not making a dent in the problem. What are our rights? What should we do? A: If your downstairs neighbor is not on the lease, then he is, like you say, probably living in the apartment illegally. But first, deal with the rodents and roaches. Shareholders and co-op boards have a landlord-tenant relationship in many respects, and it is your board's responsibility to make sure that pests do not overrun your apartment. 'If the building's regular extermination procedures don't solve the problem, the co-op is required to do more,' said William J. Geller, who practices real estate law at Braverman Greenspun. Document the problem and write a letter to the co-op board. If it does not respond, call 311 to make a complaint to Housing Preservation & Development, and encourage your neighbors to do the same. If the co-op does not take reasonable steps to stop the infestation, you could have claims against it for breaches of your proprietary lease, the warranty of habitability and fiduciary duty, Mr. Geller said. As far as evicting your neighbor, that could take a long time. Check the proprietary lease to see if it outlines the succession rights for shareholders' family members. They are typically pretty strict. 'Most proprietary leases provide that a relative who is not on the stock and lease is not allowed to live in the apartment without the shareholder being present,' said Richard Klein, a partner who practices real estate law at Dorf Nelson & Zauderer LLP. 'If the shareholder is not there, whether they are dead or alive, it is an illegal sublet.' There are two approaches to get him out: The co-op can either try to evict him with a notice to vacate and a holdover proceeding in housing court, or leave it up to the deceased shareholder's estate. In the latter case, the co-op can serve notice to the executor of the estate, stating that the grandson must leave within 30 days or the proprietary lease will be terminated. If the executor takes no action to evict him, the co-op could terminate the lease and sell the shares at an auction, which would place the responsibility of eviction onto the new owner.

The Big Restaurant That Failed Veganism
To atone before god, the book of Leviticus prescribes choosing two goats, one of which is slain as sacrifice and the other set loose to bear the sins of the people of Israel into the wilderness. That did not mean the animal was home free. Tradition states that the 'scapegoat' was pursued and dashed to pieces as it was driven off a cliff. Such is the origin of our modern-day, secular practice of placing blame on others for the mistakes we've committed ourselves. There is an actual goat involved in a preeminent restaurant's decision to put meat back on its menu after four years of veganism. In an interview with the New York Times, chef Daniel Humm of Eleven Madison Park in Manhattan relates that he had an epiphany during a trip to Greece earlier this year.

Manhattan woman finds 2.3-carat diamond for engagement ring after three-week quest
A New York woman recently discovered a 2.3-carat white diamond in an Arkansas state park while hunting for the perfect stone for her engagement ring. Micherre Fox — a 31-year-old Manhattan resident — decided years ago that she wanted to find her own diamond. On July 8, she traveled to Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas to begin her search, according to a news release from Waymon Cox, the park's assistant superintendent. "There's something symbolic about being able to solve problems with money, but sometimes money runs out in a marriage," Fox said in a statement. "You need to be willing and able to solve those problems with hard work." Fox spent three weeks scouring the park's 37.5-acre search area. On July 29, her final day at the park, she noticed a glimmer near her feet. At first, she thought it may have been a spiderweb, but upon closer inspection, she realized it was a diamond, according to the news release. "Having never seen an actual diamond in my hands, I didn't know for sure, but it was the most "diamond-y diamond' I had seen," Fox said in a statement. Park staff confirmed the gem was a diamond, and Fox was immediately flooded with emotion — falling to her knees crying and then laughing, according to the news release. The gem — which is about the size of a human canine tooth — is the third-largest diamond discovered so far this year at Crater of Diamonds State Park. Fox has since named her gem "Fox-Ballou Diamond," after the last names of her and her partner, according to the news release. Since the Crater of Diamonds became an Arkansas state park in 1972, park visitors have discovered and kept over 35,000 diamonds. Adults can participate in gem hunting at the park, which is open to the public, for a fee of $15 per day, the Associated Press reported. Earlier this year, a Minnesota resident unearthed a 3.81-carat brown diamond in the state park.
