Apparently, they're not in the business of being naughty neighbors.

So, remember the naughty neighbors in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, who made other residents super annoyed with with their exposed glass shower? And remember when New York Magazine said that the structure was still under construction and they were going to cover it, but everyone was still talking about it? Yeah, well the owners have finally responded -- with a giant letter to the community.

According to the New York Post, New York Times home and design reporter Julie Scelfo and her husband James Cavoli put a giant note in the shower, facing the backyard, stating that the structure is indeed not finished, and when it is done, it will have "privacy coverings." And then, they totally made everyone feel bad with this part: "We are dismayed and a bit heart sick at the attention our half-finished house has created.... We look forward to a day when we know our neighbors well enough to discuss any concerns over coffee, and not in newspapers and on gossip sites on the internet."

Well, almost everyone felt bad. One person told The Post that the couple are enjoying the attention -- talk about nasty neighbors.

Scroll to see photos of the letter from Paul Martinka, and be sure to head over to the New York Post for more information.

Located at the former Water Taxi Beach in South Street Seaport, Beekman Beer Garden is a one-stop-shop for summer fun: ping pong, chess, live music, sand, fire pit, tents for when it rains, kids allowed! (credit:Beekman Beer Garden Beach Club)
Hotel Chantelle(02 of11)

Hotel Chantelle is actually not a hotel at all (go figure). It feels instead like a Parisian garden, and it's the perfect LES spot to enjoy a breezy summer afternoon and one of their delicious house cocktails. (We're partial to the Pineapple Express.) (credit:Hotel Chantelle)
Alma(03 of11)

An oldie but goodie in Carroll Gardens, Alma is the quintessential backdrop for rooftop drinking. Order a margarita and take in the exquisite view spanning from the Brooklyn piers to the Empire State Building. (credit:Alma)
Berry Park(04 of11)

A beer garden on a roof top with The Simpsons trivia nights? Only in Williamsburg. At Berry Park, you can pick from 15 different -- mostly German -- brews on tap (as well as frozen drinks and liquor), take in a soccer game on the projector screen, and stare at all those suckers down below at McCarren Park. On and don't forget about the gorgeous views of the Manhattan skyline. (credit:Berry Park)
Night of Joy(05 of11)

We have a soft spot for Night of Joy's rooftop bar, which provides a glorious view of the BQE. After a few of their terrific margaritas, the concrete jungle will seem more like a lush tropical vacation, thanks to the many plants. (credit:Night of Joy)

The brand new must-check-out rooftop bar this summer is atop Chelsea's Hotel Americano.
At La Piscine, dip your piggies in the pool or take cover in a cabana while sipping on $16 cocktails (hey, such swankiness is gonna cost you).

Located atop the James Hotel in Soho, Jimmy is what rooftop bar dreams are made of. There's a pool, 360-degree views of the Manhattan skyline, and cocktails made with fresh-squeezed juice. (credit:James Hotel)

230 Fifth -- Steven Greenberg's 22,000-square-foot rooftop oasis in the Flatiron -- is the city's largest. So even if every douchebag in town is there, there's still room for you and your buds. From the stellar view, plethora of palm trees, fountains and furniture from Greenberg's private collection, it's impossible not to enjoy oneself. (credit:230 Fifth)

The Delancey's rooftop is like a piece of South Beach plopped right into the LES. Go for a rock show downstairs, stay and linger over drinks in the lush garden overlooking the Williamsburg Bridge. (credit:The Delancey)
The View at Marriot Marquis(11 of11)

This city's only revolving rooftop bar and restaurant. It's all about embracing the gimmick at The View Lounge at the Times Square Marriot Marquis.
Order a Long Island Iced Tea, a Grasshopper or a Singapore Sling, and peer out the window for an ever-changing view.
