Crazy Super Signs Are Famous
by beehive on Feb.22, 2008, under Crazy Super Signs
What a week it’s been for the crazy super signs superintendent.
First, both my catalog of his signs as well as the catalog of Right In Bay Ridge gets picked up by Curbed, then the New York Times online, now both the New York Post, and Daily News have both run articles about him and his signs - which Gawker then picked up and ran a post about their articles.
Anyways, here’s the superintendent, proudly showing off his handy work of garbage cans inside of the building lobby, as seen in the Daily News - what is not seen is how there are garbage cans in the stairwells as well, not sure if that’s a fire code violation.
I will gladly go on record to say that this man had left thousands of piles of dog shit on his block in the decade plus of his living there, and gets visibly and vocally angry when called out on not picking up after his dogs.
Also, it’s a damn shame he’s wearing such a puffy jacket that doesn’t show off the padded bra that he so proudly wears in public normally. It’s probably the most likeable thing about him - but I’m getting off topic now with that.
Here he is in the New York Post with his newest dog, I’m not sure of it’s name.
Not pictured is “Heather”, the small, old, gray poodle whom I’ve personally seen him kick numerous time on the sidewalk because she’s old and walks slowly, and “King” (R.I.P) the German Shepard with whom shared the same exact cough as Martin for years…you can think whatever you want to come to the conclusion as to how they had the same exact cough, everyone else in the neighborhood already has…
Also, I’m not sure who the Daily News is quoting, saying “if everyone cared about Bay Ridge half as much as Martin, it would be a much better place to live.” But whomever THAT person is, they sure as heck need to get a grip on the reality that Richard Martin IS the problem.

This dude is bananas. I didn’t realize til I saw his pic, but it’s the same guy I see getting in fights all over the Ridge. I once saw him in Foodtown telling a (black) manager and (black) cashier that “Obama would never win, because could you imagine an n* in the White House? They’ll ruin our country!”
He’s bananas.

He’s also known to carry knives. Knives + Wacko = Tempting Fate

You’re famous, Beehive!… although, frankly, you may never be as famous as Mr. Martin. And that is a good thing from the looks of it.

Storing anything under a stairwell like that is a violation of fire codes, and if the garbage stinks, possibly sanitation codes. If garbage cans are also stored on landings, those are fire-code violations as well. Call the fire department inspectors.
Looking at the old signs you posted, what many people may not have noticed is that at the bottom of his anti-Bloomberg sign on his fire escape it says: “and take your Jew puppets with you.”
If he kicks his dog for being old, the ASPCA would like to hear about it.

I love crazy people. Crazies are a great source for hours of entertainment.
