Loud upstairs neighbors and a land lord who refuses to confront them.
Hi from NY,
These people moved in above me about a year or 2 ago. They have 2 kids, about 3-4 years old. Constantly, they run around and pound on the floor like crazy. The furniture in my apartment shakes. I wonder if they are throwing bowling balls. In fact, there are several people in the building complaining about them. These kids run in the hallways, bang on doors and run in the driveway. I have to live below them.
I've been up there twice maybe 3 in the past year. They have no carpeting and the parents, barely speaking English, say the kids can do what ever they want.
I've told the land lord. So did some other tendants. He said he'll do something about it. Never did.
What, if any, are my options? What could I tell a lawyer? I have been approached by fellow tenants that if I needed them as a witness, they will be more than happy to help.
Can I have them or the building have the ceiling sound proofed?
Thanks for your time and help!
