Bruce Wayne's Neighbors are Not Happy
Bruce Wayne put down millions for his hyper-luxury penthouse looking out on the skyline. But will he be forced to sell?
Complaints by his neighbors have reached a critical mass, and some angry residents are considering suing Gotham's richest playboy to force him to leave.
Longtime resident Ramona Cella-Picoma told GCN that Wayne's raucous lifestyle had ruined her quiet one.
"Half the time there's some car parked cockeyed in my spot. Or there's a string of floozies congregating in the lobby. I can hear his parties all night long, and I'm ten floors below him!" said Cella-Picoma. "This is a home, not a rock concert!"
Residents are trying to take action against Wayne without resorting to the legal system at first. 23 tenants signed a grievance letter detailing noise violations, unruly crowds, and a crush of paparazzi that have disrupted their lives,
The letter was sent to the tower's managers and demanded that Wayne be removed.
Mr. Wayne moved in to the building six months ago after the legendary Wayne Manor burnt to the ground — the result of a catastrophic fire that Mr. Wayne himself is rumored to have started in one of his notorious drunken parties.
The night of the fire, Mr. Wayne interrupted his own birthday celebration to kick all of the attendants out of the house in an alcohol-fueled tirade. The fire began mere minutes later.
The self-proclaimed "ringleader" of the angry tenants, Donna Bones-Yeardly, said that she felt it was just about impossible to try communicating with her most famous of neighbors.
"He keeps odd hours. Alfred, who's very sweet, won't ever put me in touch with him. At some point, if we can't address these issues with him face-to-face, we'll have to take further action," Bones-Yeardly said.
Wayne's massive wealth makes any type of eviction a difficult try. Already, there are rumors that Wayne will buy the entire building if push comes to shove.
