Residents of a Redfern apartment block have been left spewing over a bizarre dispute about vomit.
Families at the inner city complex clashed after claims a neighbour vomited over an upper floor balcony with the gush falling onto furniture, clothes and other balconies below it.
It’s not the first time residents have been forced to deal with the issue, with the serial spewer emerging in August last year.
An anonymous statement placed at the entrance of the complex called on the perpetrator to stop immediately.
“Why is it so hard for whoever is vomiting over the side of their balcony and causing your vomit to land on the balconies, furniture, drying clothes etc of everyone else below you to simply not do it?”
“If you seem to have this uncontrollable urge to vomit whenever you are on your balcony maybe you should keep a bucket on your balcony so you can vomit into that instead?
“Maybe we should all send our balcony cleaning bills to you?” the statement reads.
It is the latest chapter in Sydney’s apartment wars coming days after neighbours in Rose Bay clashed over a smoking complaint.
Jacques Klein who lives above Marina Nartova in the apartment block said he plans to take his neighbour to court to stop her smoking on her balcony at “ungodly” times.
Ms Nartova, who goes through a pack of cigarettes every two days, acknowledged she sometimes smoked on her balcony at 2 or 3am. Mr Klein said the smoke drifts up and seeps through the window cracks of his apartment.
He claimed the smoke has impacted his health, including his ability to sleep, and is concerned about being subjected to passive smoking.
“It was waking me up last week, I couldn’t breathe,” Mr Klein told news.com.au.
“I felt like my whole body was filled with this smoke coming through. I think it was 2.15 in the morning.”
The residents, who are both in their mid-50s, own their apartments and neither wants to move.
In a separate incident in Sydney’s west, a homeowner filmed a wild dispute with her neighbours that showed the moment one of them kicked down a wall that was being built.
Edensor Park resident Valenina shared a video on TikTok last November showing her neighbour sweeping water onto a brick wall she claimed was being built on her property.
The footage showed the man holding a hose down with his foot and using a broom to push water alongside the new wall.
“Move water, move water,” a man, who appeared to be one of the tradies building the wall, tells the neighbour.
The tradie told the neighbour they were damaging the wall, before he grabbed for the hose and the men got into a tug of war with it.
After getting the hose back, the neighbour then kicked bricks off the wall before the woman pulled him away.
“You are sick, you are sick. Go to the hospital,” the woman filming the TikTok video said.
Simple seatbelt errors risking lives and costing drivers hundreds
The number of drivers and passengers not wearing seatbelts on NSW roads has dropped since seatbelt cameras were introduced — but more than 80 per cent of fines are still being issued due to a split-second mistake.
‘Haunts me’: Minister’s message to drivers as road toll climbs
Wearing a seatbelt incorrectly can be nearly as dangerous as not wearing one at all – and it’s a foolish gamble, says NSW Roads Minister Jenny Aitchison.
