Steve Cera is Ross's neighbour and the president of the tenants' committee. He meets Ross shortlly after the latter moves into the apartment Ugly Naked Guy used to live in and informs him that he is collecting $100 from everyone in the building to throw a party for Howard, the handyman who is set to retire the following week. However, Ross doesn't want to donate the 100 dollars because he just moved in, leading to friction between the two.
