Our buildings had clotheslines in the air shafts until the yuppie suburban types took over. Elderly tenants used them regularly during the first 8 years or so that I lived there.

oooh, thats getting close.

the pic from italy would be perfect for what i want - the only problem is that it mounts into the building.

obviously if owned the building or had some influence i'd put up something simple and be done with it.

You're overthinking it. You want a cheap or free solution first to see if anyone makes a stink about it.

What about a repurposed air conditioner window support? You can hang stuff off of that.
Or how about a free solution? Even though my ignored broomstick solution was perfectly viable.
Request a free child window guard for your window. And hang a secured hanger off of that.

"(In NYC) if tenants or occupants want window guards for any reason, even if there are no resident children in the covered age category, they should request them in writing and they may not be refused."

Use something like ZOTE Soap, which is actually laundry detergent to wash your garments in a sink. Twist the garment to remove as much water as possible. You can use a rack in the bathtub or shower or near a window in your home. Hang your items and run a fan on them. If the gear is made out of quick dry material then it should dry out within a half hour or so.

They sell ZOTE in many places around here for just 50 cents (Home Depot for a buck). It's the same kind of soap peasants use to wash clothing in rivers for example. It's good stuff.


This kind of fan is the best kind because you can adjust the height. You can even put short and light shirts on the fan itself making sure there is airflow of course.
