Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have infuriated their New York neighbours 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 amid allegations by former neighbours 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-a-month price tag, the twins' new neighbours 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.
