Mary-Kate And Ashley Olsen Twins Plagued By 'Bad Neighbor' Claims 9/18/08

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have infuriated their New York neighbors with their hard-partying ways - just months after moving homes in the city for the same reason.

The 22-year-old media mogul sisters abandoned their multi-million dollar New York penthouse in May (08) amid allegations by former neighbors their celebrity lifestyle was a nuisance.

But just months after their move into the city's star-studded West Village area at a reported $12,000 (£6,000)-a-month price tag, the twins' new neighbors are already eager to see them go.

One angry resident tells the National Enquirer: "They are two little brats invading us with a team of bodyguards. These men sit in their GMC Denalis (sports utility vehicles) with their engines idling and they have spoiled the environment for us.

This was such a quiet area. Many celebrities live in Greenwich Village without the need for such high-powered armored protection. "The girls come and go at all hours. My wife saw one of them earlier this week arriving back at the house at 7am."

Another resident adds: "I am glad they are just renting. At least it means they won't be here for good." And delivery man Lou Vancooten admits he pities locals after witnessing the daily commotions.

He says, "I see the security detail at least two or three times a week. They always pull up outside the property and let the girls out. They are always there. I feel for their poor neighbors."
