Can anybody please help? Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm at the end of my rope.
My upstairs neighbors are the most inconsiderate, loud, obnoxious people I have every encountered! They make so much noise! It's been like this for some time. I have no idea if they have rugs/carpets but it sounds like they don't. They are an elderly couple with kids and grandkids. The grandkids tend to run around w/shoes on, POUNDING over my head. The couple themselves are always very loud. It sounds like they are moving furniture around. This goes well into 2am/3am. I've gone up to talk to them. The first time, about a couple of years ago, the man slammed the door in my face. Since then, I've written numerous letters to the management (who do absolutely nothing), called the police (who sympathize, but also, can't really do anything), slept w/earplugs (which lead to ear infections) and gotten prescriptions for sleep aids (I don't want to continue taking pills over this!)
Two days ago, I went up again. The man opened the door. I didn't get a word in yet before he started screaming for me to get the F*** out of there & cursing me out. He's like "it's a holiday!" I'm like, it's holiday for u, but not for me! And it's after midnight already! He just cursed me out some more & started swinging his arms about like he was going to hit me & slammed the door again. I called the police, again, they felt bad for me but they couldn't really do anything but go upstairs & tell them to keep it down. The noise just got worse b/c they were probably pissed I called the cops.
I am so upset. I'm paying so much for this apartment. But I can't sleep. Can someone please suggest something? I read somewhere about going to a precinct &filling out an extensive noise complaint - will that work in this case? And silly me signed a two year lease in Dec. 2009! Would the management company allow me to break it?
Please help! All suggestions are welcome & very much appreciated. Thanx.
