"What has angered us the very most is that when she leaves one of her staff literally walks into the street and stops cars and pedestrians from passing. This way she can leave from inside the garage and not have to deal with the public," another neighbor told the Daily Mail.

The building she bought is not really a brownstone. It's actually two residences with the same facade, which only cojoin through the basement. That way her staff is in one part and she has the larger space. People speculate it's this unique configuration that drove her to buy east of Third.
