Q: Is there anything I can do about my neighbors?
I have neighbors that have been making plenty of noise since they have moved in above us. They got multiple dogs that make constant noise any time they leave, use power tools sometimes until 3am, play music so loud it echos in my apartment, and their kids ride non- street legal dirt bikes through here which our landlord has said before they would get evicted if they did it again (he’s done nothing so far.)
I am scared to address them personally as the man that lives up there has gotten into a fight with another tenant in my complex.
I have recently asked my landlord to see if he could ask them to maybe adjust the behavioral issues of their dog, and luckily they have been home so they dogs haven’t made much noise, they continue to play music so loud all through the hours of the night and slam things on the floor any time they wish.
Is there any point in calling the police to make a noise complaint? Should I be addressing this with my landlord? And what if he never solves this?
A: Best file a noise or nuisance complaint against them. May or maybe not resolve the issue.
