Have you considered taking the alligator approach with improved ears? Stay
with your dipole and QRO if you can't be heard. Invest in the best, small,
directional receive only antenna that your budget allows (e.g. eight circle
array, or remotely tuned rotating magnetic loop, or rotating K9AY or
similar).

EXACTLY in this case. When I put up the existing Antennas (as a right),
someone called the zoning Dept, who actually sent out an investigator, twice
(I had to explain to him that NYC HAS no rules for a ham antenna, just
commercial, roof loading, access, and there is a MAX height above roof, but
one thing he was REAL clear on was I went one inch over the property line,
and I was going to have to take it down, and he sat there with a transit on
the line and LOOKED as he made me rotate the antenna, and I was clear by a
bit over a foot. He was fine with that, and the complaint was dismissed
