Just in time for Halloween, there's been some chatter regarding hallway and door decorations in New York apartments. Brownstoner notes that in July, a Clinton Hill co-op board controversially "decided to enforce a house rule: no decorations on any doors, without getting board approval first," since in a co-op you don't have the rights to your door, the decision is out of one's hands. A recent Habitat article breaks it down, but what about those not in co-ops? While stoops, hallway rights, and even smoking rules in buildings are ongoing hot topics, the door often gets ignored. How does your building handle decorations?

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.

Thank god. If a neighbor's door decorations really get on my nerves, I'll usually just do up my own door in gay porn and it seems to get everyone in the mood to negotiate.
Awesome, #1. I'm just sad I didn't think of it first.
#1 . . .
Funny as your suggest may seem to some, it's right on.
These types of issues should be handled by the parties involved.
Fuck a co-op board.
Hard to imagine paying that kind of money for something you don't truly own, then to constantly have ridiculous terms dictated.
My feeling about decorations is that unless they are patently offensive, they should be allowed. If my next door neighbor gets to decorate in time for his BS mythology's holiday then I get to decorate in celebration of mine (or lack thereof).
I don't see the harm in a little door decor. Most building hallways are dull anyway, and i'm sure #1's would really liven things up. But who cares?
Do we really need a door decor police...get over your selves co-op boards.
the not funny thing is that there is probably someone reading this, or maybe even somone you know, that takes issue with door decorations. I really really hope I don't know anyone like this!
People need to loosen up. It's a door decoration..get over it.
Too many control freaks around. I have a friend in a Jersey town who can't even put up lawn decorations without approval. It's outside! It's his own property! Talk about ridiculous.
Reminds me of the dorms in college. I put up some very controversial stuff and it was respected. I think that co-ops aside, just don't live next door to cranky old people.
Yeah, NannyState. um, I bought a place in west village while I'm still young to....live....in...a....dorm?
Wait.
