PUBLIC NOTICE ON OFFENSES OF TRACY KRAWITT
UPDATES will be posted by latest date/incident at the TOP (See below.) For previous incidents and older reports, see links at bottom of page.
I have had to update this report on a regular basis. There are continuing new incidents to be documented, against this unscrupulous liar and aggressor, this neighbor from Hell, Tracy Krawitt. I find it necessary, in my own defense, to post a report each time Krawitt commits another offense...the offenses just keep on coming...
And since Krawitt has proved to be the worst sort of liar, I must consider it likely that she continues to make false complaints against me, each time she herself commits an offense.
UPDATES BEGIN HERE
January 6, 2025
Tracy Krawitt continues to violate all regulations imaginable. She violates zoning codes, running a commercial business in a strictly residential area. Large trucks pull up for deliveries every week. They block the common driveway, they are loud, they have workers rolling hand carts, causing a disturbance for other tenants.
She has a huge, garish monstrosity, a commercial food vendor trailer, a terrible eyesore, parked permanently in her yard, where no one on the property can escape the glaringly ugly sight. Commercial equipment, gas tanks, tables, canisters and other assorted junk is piled in her yard.
Her junk-ridden yard ruins any natural beauty of the otherwise peaceful environment that some of the other tenants on the property (including me) have worked to create, such as gardens with bird feeders and wind chimes.
And Krawitt continues to violate the leash laws, allowing her large, extremely loud dog to run free all over the property, repeatedly causing problems for other tenants.
Just a few days ago, another incident occurred. I had just pulled in to my parking space in front of my house, when I saw Krawitt open the door of her house and walk outside. The dog, who was unleashed, started running, making a beeline directly for my yard. He stopped directly in front of my car. I just sat there in the car, not even turning to look at the stupid woman who came running after the dog, directly into my yard. She dragged the dog away by his collar, back across the road and into her house.
I have no interactions with this psycho, no matter what she does. I do not respond in any way to her provocations. My policy is to ignore her and call appropriate authorities, when necessary. But I do document most of the incidents for the public record.
I did not call Dog Control again, because there seems to be no point. They have received numerous complaints about Krawitt's violations, including allowing the dog to howl for hours on end while she leaves him alone, and the fact that she simply disregards the leash laws, allowing the dog, over whom she has no control, to run free on the property and even on the road, where this becomes a safety hazard for cars, pedestrians and other animals. Yet nobody does anything to stop her.
A reminder: Tracy Krawitt is a criminal offender, as well as being a multiple civil offender. In December, 2018, she made a false police report against Barbara Hartwell, lying to the police by making the accusation that I "threatened to kill" her. I did no such thing, as this malicious liar well knows. This outrageous lie is now documented in police records, where my name has been publicly slandered, in perpetuity.
She committed this crime after I warned her and her grossly incompetent driver NOT to hit my car, as they were attempting to park the large commercial van in her yard. She also trespassed into my yard on that evening, and I issued a directive for her to "get the hell out of my yard."
The driver cursed at me from the window of the truck, shouting, F-- you! And more curses and threats I could not make out, but his behavior was menacing.
After this, she called the police, and lied to them. SHE was the only aggressor, the only wrongdoer. And the only criminal, because she made a false police report against me, an innocent person who was only trying to protect my property, stop a loud disturbance, and stop her from invading my yard. Which I had every right to do.
Again, I will state for the record that I consider this woman a public menace. She continually violates the law, both civil and criminal, and apparently she is doing so with impunity.
Why the police don't do something to stop her, I don't know. The slumlord who owns this property also does nothing to stop her, even though she has caused major disturbances for other tenants, and is using his property to break the zoning laws.
Krawitt has also made many false complaints to the slumlord against Barbara Hartwell, a law abiding person who has never caused any disturbances on the property. Yet the slumlord has falsely accused me, based only on the false complaints of this pathological liar. He has been warned in writing to cease and desist making such complaints to me, as I will take legal action against him.
For the record, I have no interactions with this trashy reprobate whatsoever, and have never, at any time "harassed" her or her accomplices, who have made these same false complaints to the slumlord's office. I do not know any of these people, claiming to be tenants, nor have ever spoken as much as a word to any of them (if they even exist.)
As for any other tenants who are associating with her in any way, I must, for my own protection, have no further dealings with them, even if they seem to otherwise be good neighbors (as I have always been), since I know that she is spreading malicious gossip and lies to them about me. I will not get involved in any conflicts she has engineered for her own self-serving agenda, nor discuss her offenses with anyone but authorities. These are strictly legal issues, as I have already explained to certain tenants to whom I no longer speak, due to their involvement with this loathsome woman. She is evil and I pray justice is done for all those she has harmed with her lies and aggression.

Today when I pulled into my parking spot in front of my house, I heard loud howling from across the driveway. As I exited my vehicle, Krawitt's dog (whom I call The Howler), came running, unleashed, toward me and into my yard. A woman who sometimes walks the dog (not the psycho Krawitt) had let the dog out of Krawitt's house and was yelling at the dog to stop, and the dog ignored her. The dog is out of control and completely untrained, yet Krawitt and her associates just let him run loose, violating leash laws. They care nothing for the rights and the safety of others on the property.
Of course I am not afraid of the dog, and in fact I feel sorry for him, having this negligent lawbreaker as his owner. I managed to get into my house before the dog actually would have jumped on me. Had he done that, there would have been serious consequences for Tracy Krawitt. It never ends...and never will, not until someone is injured, or the dog is injured. Or...until Krawitt vacates the property for good. That day can't come soon enough!
July 21, 2024
There have been a number of incidents over the past few weeks. Krawitt's dog continues to be allowed to run loose on the property, violating the leash laws.
One day I pulled out of my parking spot and turned the car around, heading into town. Tracy Krawitt was driving right behind me, tailgating, all the way into Rhinebeck. When I made a turn before the light, she blasted the horn, though I had done nothing to warrant such harassment.
It was midnight and I was sleeping. Suddenly, huge bright, glaring lights poured into the window above my bed and there was noise outside. I bolted up, awake, and looked out the window. Krawitt had pulled the monstrosity pickle truck into the driveway, with a U-Haul truck. The lights were on high beam, and stayed that way for quite some time. There was also a radio blaring. What the hell! At midnight!
She is violating the zoning laws by running a commercial business in a residential area. Yet nobody stops her. She has ZERO concern for the privacy, boundaries or fundamental rights of others. The woman is an absolute psycho, a public menace.
February 28, 2024
On Saturday, February 24, I heard loud howling and barking outside. I went to the window and sure enough, there was Krawitt's large dog running loose toward my house. He stopped outside in the yard and continued the howling.
His owner, Tracy Krawitt, was nowhere in sight. I don't know how he got out of her house, but possibly through an open window. This has happened before.
It now appears that Krawitt has more or less abandoned the dog. Her vehicles have not been parked in front of her residence for weeks (aside from the monstrosity, the eyesore of her commercial truck) but other cars show up, and I have seen other people outside with the dog occasionally.
The last time I saw Krawitt, in January, she was with the dog, who was running free, UNLEASHED, on the road. I passed them, driving into town.
I called Dog Control on Saturday, February 24, to report the incident. Since that time, I have heard the dog howling at times, but have not seen him outside.
I am very concerned for the dog. Having any animal is a serious responsibility. In some ways, like having a child. Dogs, especially, are social animals. It is cruel to leave a dog sitting in an empty house, day after day, night after night, with no company, nothing to do but wait for someone to come in to feed or walk him.
I pray for the dog and hope that somehow he will find a good home, where he is loved and cared for. He certainly does not have such a home now.
November 21, 2023
So here's the latest: On November 10 in the early afternoon I had pulled out of my parking spot in front of my house and turned onto the adjacent back road, heading into town.
Ahead on the road was Tracy Krawitt, apparently walking her dog. Of course, I was driving on the right side of the road, slowly, under the speed limit of 30 miles per hour. Krawitt was walking on the other side of the road and I saw the dog near her. I purposely pulled as far to the right side of the road as possible, so as to avoid being anywhere near this woman as I passed by. My policy has always been to ignore her, and never to engage in any interaction whatsoever, no matter what she does.
But suddenly, the dog ran out, directly coming toward my car. The dog was not on a leash, as per the regulations. The dog made a beeline, until he was right in front of my car. I slammed on the brakes but it was a close call.
It comes as no surprise that Krawitt would be violating the leash laws, just as she violates many other laws and regulations. But to risk her dog being hit by a car is unconscionable. She is an irresponsible dog owner who has shown by her behavior that not only does she care nothing for the rights of others to peace and quiet (she left the dog alone to bark and howl, all hours of the day and night, until Dog Control forced her to comply with regulations), but she cares nothing for the safety of her own dog, allowing him to run free on a public road.
This is the second time I have seen this dog unleashed, the first being a couple years ago when he came running across the road and ran into my yard, barking just outside my window.
Then, there is a cat (one of 2) owned by Krawitt. She allows these cats to roam free, despite the fact that the property sits between two roads.
These cats have become a nuisance to other tenants on the property (as well as to other neighbors nearby, as reported to me). They kill birds in our yards, where we have bird feeders. They dig up gardens (including mine) and destroy property. One of these cats is hostile, hissing when confronted, when a visiting relative tried to shoo him away. This same cat was invading my yard and was seen by a neighbor, going under my house, where there was a hole in the back wall left by the landlord's workers who did not properly finish a job by sealing the wall closed. He made a racket at night, digging and scratching in the wall, until the wall was finally sealed, months later.
Of course I don't blame the animals. They are only doing what animals do when left unattended and neglected.
I place the blame squarely where it belongs: On the irresponsible owner, Tracy Krawitt.
In addition to her negligent behavior with animals, she continues to make false complaints against me to the landlord, as well as apparently enlisting other tenants on the property as her accomplices, to also lie for her, making bogus complaints that I am "harassing" them.
In point of fact, I do not know any of these tenants. I have never seen them. I do not know their names. I have never, at any time, spoken to them. I do not know who they are (if they even exist) and I was given no specific information regarding these complaints, nor the names of the false accusers, by the landlord or any of his employees. I have never, at any time "harassed" anyone.
I have warned the landlord in writing that if he or his employees continue to speak to me of these false complaints that he will be held accountable for his harassment of me, and that he is preventing me from the quiet enjoyment of the rental property for which I am paying a high rent, by allowing Krawitt and accomplices to violate regulations on the property and by legitimizing their false complaints, as harassment of me (including public slander of my good name).
But I have received legal advice and I will continue to document every offense I see, or suffer, or which is brought to my attention.
Mark my words: Tracy Krawitt will not only be fully exposed for every offense, but she will be held accountable under the law (civil and criminal).
As will anyone who aids and abets her offenses, including tenants on this property, the landlord and his workers.
I will be vindicated. The law is on my side and I have always abided by the highest of ethical standards.
To be continued... as I have every reason to expect that the offenses of Tracy Krawitt will continue, until and unless she is forced to stop, one way or another.

ADDITIONAL INCIDENTS BY DATE
Latest incidents listed at top.
December 25, 2023 (late afternoon)
I had pulled out of my parking spot and was driving on the back road, when I saw Krawitt and her dog standing in the middle of the road. The dog was once again unleashed. When she saw my car coming she pulled the dog to the wrong side of the road (right) so I was forced to pass them on the left.
This is truly outrageous!
Even on Christmas Day she has to cause trouble!
November 21, 2023
Today as I was driving, returning to my home, Tracy Krawitt was standing in the middle of the road, with her unleashed dog running free.
I was forced to swerve to the wrong side of the road (left) in order to avoid them, as they were blocking the road. Krawitt grabbed the loose dog and pulled him to the wrong side of the road as I passed by.
I now see that I'll have to call Dog Control again, to report that she is violating more laws, which endanger the safety of drivers, pedestrians and other animals.
This woman needs to be stopped. She is proving to be a public menace!
