A local Upper East Side Co-op board is suing on of its
residents over the smell of marijuana coming from inside his apartment.
The board alleges that a 12 year tenant of The Fontaine, 73-year
old Richard Kempter should be responsible for the actions of his guests while
he is away from the apartment. They
argue that the smell of pot has become intolerable and has permeated other
apartments within the building.
Kempter, a psychology professor has responded to the accusations by maintaining that he is
being targeted because his guest are black while may of the other tenants are
white. He also says that he has not
invited the offending guests back after hearing the complaints.
The case has been filed in Manhattan Supreme Court and is awaiting litigation.
