Shocking video shows Amazon delivery driver peeing all over posh NYC apartment lobby
Urine-trouble!
A barbaric Amazon delivery driver was caught on camera peeing all over the lobby of a posh Greenwich Village apartment building — leaving a resident pissed off over the “foul” delivery.
The disturbing footage captured by Donny, a 30-year-old tenant living in a four-story apartment near the corner of Bleecker Street and Carmine Avenue, showed the moment an Amazon delivery driver unzipped his pants outside of his apartment on Aug. 26 and started spraying urine in the halls and on furniture.
“He walked straight back there as if he’d done it a hundred times, like second nature,” Donny told The Post of the disgusting Ring footage.
“I had shoes in the hallway, a chair in the hallway, a table in the hallway and he was peeing and splashing everywhere,” the resident added.
The footage shows a man wearing a light blue-and-gray Amazon delivery driver uniform ring the electronic doorbell system at around 3 p.m. to gain entry into the building.
Donny, who wished to not be identified by his last name, buzzed the driver into the building and thought nothing was unusual — until he later checked footage on the Ring app and was shocked at what he saw.
The footage shows the deliveryman look around the hallway, presumably to check if the coast is clear before he unzips his pants and does his business all over Donny’s belongings.
When Donny reached out to Amazon to complain about the whiz, he said Amazon called it a “horrible” incident and dropped a mere $50 gift card as their way of saying sorry.
“I didn’t think that was appropriate for what had happened” Donny said. He refused the coupon, he added.
Donny claims that he had several belongs soaked in the stranger’s urine including shoes, a chair and a table, which he said he had to throw out.
He said he now fears that any time he lets a delivery driver into the building that they too will repeat the “foul” act.
“Now, every time an Amazon driver rings my doorbell, I have to go check the camera to make sure that he’s not peeing in my hallway,” said Donny.
He also said that he worries about it happening in front of someone close to him, like his 5-year-old nephew who comes to visit him often.
“He could have easily been there. My girlfriend could have walked out of the door and seen this happening while it was happening,” he said.
Attorney Cary London at the firm Fredson Statmore Bitterman said that they are exploring possible litigation against Amazon.
“We are exploring all legal avenues against Amazon,” London said. “But what we would really like to see is a change in Amazon’s policies — in addition to monetary compensation.”
The delivery driver has not been identified.
Amazon distanced itself from the deliveryman, saying he was not directly employed by the company but instead worked for one of the behemoth’s independent “Delivery Service Partners.”
“This does not reflect the standards we expect from Delivery Service Partners,” Amazon spokesperson Leigh Anne Gullett said in a statement. “The individual is no longer delivering Amazon packages.”
The delivery app provides drivers with locations where restrooms are available and routes include a 30-minute lunch and two additional 15-minute breaks.
