i didnt know where to put this but obnoxiously noisy neighbors. LONG POST. sorry. UPDATE:
Okay. I just moved into an apartment on the second floor last month with my fiance and or 2 year old. My downstairs neighbors is also the apartments maintenance guy. Hes nice, he has hooked us up with a lot of inprovements i the apartment.
But his no more than 13 year old son is SO FUCKING LOUD. He stomps around so much it sounds like hes above me, his tv is always too loud all day long, and he yells constantly (the apartments are small enough to where a normal talking voice can be heard in all rooms) Ive put up with him for 3 weeks before he came home at 11:30 pm one night, slammed the door to the entryway we share, made my dog bark and he barked back at her. He then stood in that door way yelling for his mom until i yelled at him to shut the fuck up. That whole week i hadnt slept because of a combination of him and the chronic back pain i have. the next day i went right to my landlord and complained but told her i wanted to remain anonymous.
Two weeks went by and it was quiet. Peaceful. And then a few days ago he woke me up 3 times out of my sleep because he was so loud. At 1am, 4am and 530 am. At 1 am my fiance went downstairs and tried to tell him to be quiet but he was being so loud he never heard my fiance knock, so i called the cops. I fell asleep before i knew if an officer came out. At 430 he woke me up again yelling, screaming and carrying on. I had to call the cops again.the officer remembered me and commented on how tired i sounded. I told him I was exhausted and that my two year old would be waking up in a few hours and i hadnt slept. My fiance has work at 6am and he didnt sleep either. An officer came out, told him to be quiet or he would get a ticket and talked to the parents. These were both anonymous calls. Its been two nights and hes been quiet. Until right now as im typing. Its midnight.
My son has already started whining and im worried he will wake up.
Im getting really pissed off. I can tell the kid has zero rules because he constantly has fights with his dad and tells him to shut the fuck up all the time. Until the cops came, the parents did nothing about his noise level.
Why should it take the cops being called TWICE to get someone to handle their child? My fiance got pissed that i wanted to call the cops. He said that we live in an apartment and i need to understand that we are going to hear people. I said "not at 1 4 and 530 in the morning!" He was so loud it sounded like he was in our apartment. I could hear every word he was saying and the tv was saying.
what should i do next? I dont want to cause problems and i dont want them to know who complained because if he has to come up to fix something i dont want to be stuck in an awkward conversation. My landlord isnt aware that i called the cops twice. Should she be informed? I dont want them to get evicted, i just want the kid to shut the fuck up before he wakes up my son and i have to kill him! (Jokes for sensitive people.) please help me. We have 11 months until the lease is up and idk if i will survive that long.
UPDATE: we just had someone come up to fix our shower and my neighbor, who usually comes for repairs, did not come up. It was two other guys.(side note: its been a week since they said it would be fixed) It was then that my fiance told me that he thinks that our neighbor is pissed that we called the cops becAuse he overheard him say to another neighbor something about "ill get the cops called on me again."
Isnt that a little petty and uncalled for? Idk if he said it because he knew my fiance was there or not. But either way isnt that wrong?
I didnt want to start any problems by calling the police but like i said in the post, my fiance tried to knock on the door and tell him to be quiet and we had a previous complaint to my landlord about the kids noise. He almost woke up my two year old several times in the month and a half that we have been here. Was i wrong for calling the cops? Because i really dont think so.
