I am in an courthouse apartment with a swimming pool in the center. My new neighbor must have some soundbar that amplifies the bass. One day around 12 noon he was playing so loud I could hear it at the back gate. He has no windows facing the courthouse so that should give you an idea how loud! The neighbors downstairs from him and right next to him are not around much so do not hear it like I do.
The manager has been given a written complaint as has the neighbor. It is quieter but he will crank it up after 10pm to past 11pm. I have 2 closets filled with stuff between me and the noise is still noisy. The neighbors right next door to him have it worse as they have no closet facing his direction. They keep the a/c running to help block the noise. It has gotten so bad at times that I bang on the wall and yell at him. It quiets down for a few days - maybe, then he starts up again. He also dumps his trash bag of garbage outside his door and the fluids drain all over the 2nd floor past 4 apartments. The “manager” does not clean up or have him do so.
There is a noise ordinance and the police have a dept just for noise complaints. I read the statue and it says 5db above the ambient noise level. I downloaded a free app called Sound Meter and will call the number they have listed. There can be a $1,000 fine and 6 months in jail so I hope this $#@! gets both.
My neighbor is also being watched by the sheriff’s department. They’ve found five stolen vehicles near his house -which of course he knows NOTHING about. I’m working with deputies to nail the jackasses. It’s slow going, though.
You landlord could be legally liable.
