Ay-yi-yi, Chihuahuas! An Upper West Side woman has filed a $500,000 lawsuit charging that her downstair's yappy little dogs are driving her loco.
In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, lawyer Paulette Taylor says Theodore Henderson's two Chihuahuas "bark in a manner that is offensive, constant, continuous and incessant."
The mighty miniatures are loud enough to be heard outside of Henderson's apartment and inside hers - and she can't take it anymore.
Taylor, 62, says in the suit that the dogs have her so stressed that she can't sleep. The suit adds that Henderson "may even be guilty of inciting his Chihuahuas to bark."
Taylor has complained to Henderson and to the management of their building at 382 Central Park West for well over a year, but they've done nothing, said her lawyer, Jacqueline Bukowski.
"We're asking for a restraining order against the dogs," Bukowski said, or "some sort of soundproofing" to block the barking from coming into Taylor's apartment, which is directly above Henderson's.
Henderson could not be reached for comment. A lawyer for the building's management company, Maxwell-Kates Inc., said he had not been served with a copy of the suit and couldn't comment on it.
The suit seeks $500,000 from Henderson, Maxwell-Kates and the building's owners for Taylor's "emotional and physical distress."
