Celebrity Chef Mario Batali Is Being Sued By Neighbor of His Babbo Restaurant for Noise and Air Pollution for $6 Million Dollars!!!

Celebrity Chef Mario Batali and his Babbo Restaurant in Greenwich Village is being sued by a neighbor named Nurettin Akgul, a former Oil Executive for vibrations from the restaurant's air conditioners and grease and garlic smells from the exhaust system. Akgul is seeking $6 million dollars in damages. Yeah right How are you going to prove your damages? I love garlic so I wouldn't mind those aromas at all. But smelling that 12 or more hours a day would just make me hungry 12 or more hours a day. LOL Batali received a variance prior to opening his restaurant. As long as he soundproofed the air conditioners on the roof, and promised to keep his employees off the roof and from loitering outside of the restaurant when they were on break and also keep the smells down, Akgul agreed not to fight the variance. However, once Batali got the variance, he broke all promises. hahahaha Of course he did. I think Batali should get his heating and air conditioning guy to vent his exhaust system into the ground instead of into the air. And maybe add a couple of more layers of insulation around the a/c units to keep the noise down and call it a day. A six million dollar lawsuit this does not make. Or better yet, since Akgul is the only one complaining, maybe he should move away. DUH!!!
