told West Side Rag.<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cWe have tried contacting the non-emergency police number, and they said there\u2019s nothing they can do about it because no law is being broken.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDisco guy\u201d simply isn\u2019t being groovy to his neighbors, locals said. <\/p>\n
\u201cShould we also defend the person upstairs that tap dances from 3am \u2013 5am?\u201d another person asked in the publication.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the disco ball owner is not being a good neighbor,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n
Others said disco should stay dead \u2014 because the light may be hazardous to their health.<\/p>\n
\u201cNeighbors are being hurt by light pollution,\u201d one declared.<\/p>\n
The owner of the Christmas light, pictured here, had no idea his decoration caused so much trouble. J.C. Rice<\/p>\n
\u201cLight pollution is a serious problem and flashing lights can cause seizures,\u201d someone else added on the site.<\/p>\n
The ninth floor resident revealed to The Post Saturday the glow was not from a disco ball but from a powerful, pulsating and rotating $2.50 Christmas light \u2014 insisting he had no clue it was getting his neighbors\u2019 tinsel in a tangle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI would never think this would create such a scandal,\u201d said the man, who only spoke Spanish and declined to give his name. The doorman at the building told The Post he never received any complaints.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople have the right to think what they want. I didn\u2019t want any problems,\u201d the resident said.<\/p>\n
The resident, who moved in about six months ago, said he purchased the illuminating orb three weeks ago at a 99 cent store \u201cto feel happy in my room for the holiday.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat problem is this creating? I stay in my room, I am peaceful, I am not bad,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Upon hearing about the uproar, he took his light down, and handed it over to his friend and neighbor, Carol Moody.<\/p>\n
The Dexter House hostel between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive. J.C. Rice<\/p>\n
\u201cLook how respectable he is, you told him there is a problem and he took it down. They should have come here and told the doorman, and the doorman would talk to him. This is crazy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
A majority of commenters agreed \u2014 saying they thought the man\u2019s apartment vibes were far out.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t suppose any of the claimants have ever heard of shades, drapes or blinds,\u201d one quipped.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s hear it for UWS privilege,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll these liberals with their artisanal lattes and their over the counter omakases, Jean-George French laundry turn down service \u2014 can\u2019t even deal with a little Disco Fever,\u201d one said.<\/p>\n
\u201cA little disco never hurt anybody,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A funky Upper West Sider is causing a disco ball inferno on West 86th Street.
