A dermatologist-and-professor couple thought the two-bedroom, two-bath apartment at 30 East 85th Street that they rented in October, which had two terraces and was close to Central Park, would be a place of peace. Especially for the hefty price of $7,900/month. Well, they couldn't have been more wrong, and have filed a lawsuit against their landlord in Manhattan Supreme Court, alleging that a "very loud high rattling humming sound" emanating from the David Barton Gym outlet below was persistent and unbearable, rendering their apartment "uninhabitable." Noise complaints: yet another headache for rentersnay, all New Yorkers. [NYDN; previously]
