'I was at Rec park today (September 17) with my daughter and saw your sticker. I was suddenly glad to realize I am not the only one that has been hearing this noise. When Bates Troy was first being built I thought, wow this is great another business expanding here in Binghamton creating possibly more local jobs instead of moving some place else to expand. Sure it cost us 3 homes but they were not exactly on the historical registry either. But now they now have taken our community's kindness for a weakness and it must stop! I would like to become involved with your group and help get Bates Troy to obey local laws.' - Resident on Goethe St

Key PeopleWho is behind the Bates Troy noise? Brian Kradjian, Ara Kradjian, Tom Singe and Randy Widrick.
Introduction: Tom Singe is the general manager at Bates Troy Healthcare Linens.
Unethical Behavior: At the beginning of this campaign, Tom Singe flatly refused to decrease the noise levels. Later, Bates Troy was forced to install modifications due to community pressure. Tom Singe also tried to get the founders of this campaign evicted by speaking directly to their landlord. Residents report that he has also been spreading false rumors around town about the founders of this campaign.
We are Bates Troy Noisy Neighbor, a neighborhood organization of families concerned about the noise pollution produced by the Bates Troy Healthcare Linens dry-cleaning plant located at 151 Laurel Ave in Binghamton, NY 13905.
We are engaged in a campaign to bring attention to our community that is suffering under an onslaught of illegal annoying noises. We believe that the Zoning Board of Appeals made a negligent decision in allowing an industrial dry-cleaning plant to expand into a high-density residential area.
There is only one solution to the Bates Troy noise problem: the City of Binghamton must enforce their preexisting laws. We are currently circulating a petition and we encourage you to sign it. At the moment, our only hope of restoring the quiet is this petition.
