I live in Pennsylvania (Delaware County) and live in and own a 3rd floor condo apartment. Recently, the owner directly above me completely renovated his condo. It appears he/she put in little if any insulation under the carpet and extended the kitchen with wood flooring that also has little or any insulation. The result is I now listen to every move made by the tenant above me. My question(s) are:

1. Are there laws regarding insulation requirements?
2. What can I do to have this situation remedied?
3. Are there requirements for permits to be issued?
4. Where can I find out if a permit was issued if required?

I would like to approach the owner(s) with at least a little knowledge on what are the requirements.

Unless there are Association rules regarding carpet or insulation, normally there is not, since they most likely would be allowed hardwood all though the entire home ( very popular now)

IF, and I say if, since changing flooring often does not require building permits in most places, but you can check with your city building inspector if a permit to change carpet or to put in hardwood flooring is required, they would have a copy of the permit, if it is not, they may have to remove it and put it back in ( hope you enjoy the construction noice again)
