Residents of the ritzy Upper East Side high-rise that’s been used for target practice blasted building management Tuesday for not notifying them about bullets whizzing through the windows.
“The [management] should communicate it,” said Giovanni Rampone, 59, who lives on the 31st floor at swanky One East River Place. “We shouldn’t have to find out about it when we hit the streets.”
Rampone noted that management of the 50-story luxury rental building — which is equipped with a fitness center, indoor pool and full-time doorman — has failed to notify tenants about other issues in the past, “but this is different than a broken elevator.”
“It’s only fair that they make people aware of what happens,” he said.
The Post exclusively reported Monday that a mystery gunman has been shooting up apartments at the building between East 72nd and East 73rd streets from clear across the water on Roosevelt Island.
Police sources say the first bullet pierced the window of a 14th-floor apartment in the building sometime between Thursday and Friday.
Less than 24 hours later, another bullet crashed through the window of a unit on the 32nd floor of the building.
A high-ranking NYPD source has told The Post that investigators believe the gunman is “some a—hole standing on a balcony shooting across the river.”
A lawyer who lives on the 21st floor of the building and whose apartment faces the East River only learned of the dangerous situation after her ex-husband texted her the article in The Post.
“I come to find out about this from my ex-husband who lives in the Ritz Carlton in Westchester. Go figure,” said the woman, who did not want to be named.
She also slammed building management for not alerting residents.
“They have an obligation to notify people who might be in harm’s way,” the tenant said. “My daughters are coming over today and I don’t know what to do. Maybe I should tell them not to come.”
The woman called the covert gunfire “terrifying.”
“You can’t be safe anywhere in New York, not even in your own home,” she said. “We don’t want to live in fear.”
Another resident on the 31st floor said: “Hopefully [police will] be able to pinpoint where the shots are coming from and make an arrest. There’s nothing we can do about it.”
Solow, the building’s management company, did not immediately return requests for comment.
