Amazon Delivery Driver Caught Urinating in NYC Apartment Lobby, Resident Outraged

A resident in Manhattan's Greenwich Village is seeking further action from Amazon after a delivery driver was captured on surveillance video urinating in his apartment building's lobby.

The incident occurred on August 26 when a delivery driver, wearing a light blue and gray Amazon uniform, gained entry to the building. After entering the lobby, the driver looked around before unzipping his pants and urinating in the common area, according to footage from a Ring camera.

The resident, who identified himself only as Donny, told The Post that the driver's actions were unexpected and that his personal belongings, including shoes, a chair, and a table stored in the hallway, were affected.

Donny reported the incident to Amazon, which he described as a "horrible" event. The company offered a $50 gift card as an apology, which Donny refused, deeming it inappropriate for the situation. He stated that the affected items had to be discarded due to the incident.

Following the event, Donny expressed concern about the security of his building and the potential for future incidents. He indicated that he now checks his camera footage every time an Amazon driver approaches his door and worries about the possibility of such an act occurring in front of his young nephew or other visitors.

Amazon stated that the driver was not a direct employee but worked for one of its independent "Delivery Service Partners." A spokesperson for Amazon confirmed that the individual is no longer delivering packages for the company and that the behavior does not align with their expectations for delivery partners. The company noted that its delivery app provides drivers with information on available restrooms and includes scheduled breaks.

Legal representatives for the resident are reportedly exploring potential litigation against Amazon. They are seeking not only monetary compensation but also a change in Amazon's policies regarding driver conduct and oversight.
