When Jack Hagerty closed on his new condo three weeks ago, he thought it had everything he wanted: a quiet, safe Glen Park location, easy access to BART and a backyard for his 10-year-old son. Turns out it came with an extra feature - a self-described "leather sex" enthusiast living downstairs.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
"He's entitled to his life," Hagerty said. "I just wish he'd told me sooner."
Hagerty said all was well until he announced that he intended to remove the carpet and padding in his unit to help with allergies. The downstairs condo owner explained in an April 24 e-mail that he opposed the idea.
"I am a sexual enthusiast and enjoy leather sex," the man wrote. "At times, it is possible and even likely that the sounds of leather sex will be coming from my bedrooms to your bedrooms without an effective sound barrier. While it is not my issue, you may find you need to explain things to your son as it could be confusing to him since it frequently doesn't sound as pleasurable as it is."
"I just don't think it is appropriate for my son to bear witness to that," Hagerty said.
But the neighbor says if Hagerty just left the carpet and pad on the floor everything would be fine.
"My lifestyle shouldn't have anything to do with this," . . .

the perv can’t help being born with a leather spoon...
San Fransicko idiots. Of course there's something wrong with it, you moron.
We should wall off San Fran and make it adults only. Then again, leftists these days think kids should be having sex from birth.
SHHHHHHHHHHH!
There’s a simple solution... Mr “Leather Sex” just needs to add some sound dampening material to his “playroom.”
If he refuses to do so, I suggest that “Mr Allergies” sue “Mr Leather Sex” under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Then “Mr Leather Sex” can counter sue for sexual harassment.
This would all be in line with San Francisco’s “Lawyer Full Employment” laws.
Of course, another good solution would be to find out what sort of music “Mr Leather Sex” hates, then invest heavily in sub-woofers. Oh, and if the sounds of love are bothering the upstairs neighbors, they could drown it out with the dulcet tones of “The Captain & Tenile” playing “Muskrat Love” very loudly, over and over again.

Great idea. My brother knows how to sound proof a room.
He runs the construction side of our companies and some crazy dream for an entertainment room.
If he ever builds it I’ll come back FR and tell everyone.
I don’t think it will work but he penciled it last year after I told him about my friend.
But what do I know. My biggest worry in the day is a paper cut.
Perhaps a wired jaw and a body caste would greatly reduce the sound of leather sex.
The guy should go and hire four older, overweight women and have them all show up with him at the downstairs neighbor’s door with buckets of popcorn and a case of beer and say,”We’re here for the show”.
I do believe the neighbor involved in the “leather sex” lived there first ...
I see the obvious biased against the neighbor downstairs due to his perversion ...
Being perverted is not illegal, nor is it a crime, and as far as I know, you can do what you please in your own house.
The Leather Sex neighbor should have just remained quiet about his activities, as in this day and age, trying to be polite turns around and whips you in the butt.
I’m sure some of the fringe FReepers would advocate a government ban on “leather sex”, as I am sure some of those ignorant disgusting SF Progressives would advocate a government ban on non-perverted people, but both of those ideas are absolutely idiotic.
The neighbor with the son should:
(1) Maybe Move ???? (I wouldn’t want to live near that)
(2) Yell at the Realtor for pulling a stunt like this
(3) Make noise in his house as well ...
(4) Do his homework better next time.
The downstairs neighbor should most likely better sound proof his house - however, living in Condo’s and apartments - there is rarely any place where you have total privacy from others noises.
I think there was an episode just like this on “Ozzie and Harriet” once.
The burden is on the noise-maker, especially since he KNOWS his activities will intrude upon a neighbor. he admits it.
Replace the carpet with a hypoallergenic carpet and move on. There are all sorts of reasons for too much noise coming from a neighboring unit and the sound proofing would be welcome nommatter shat the cause.
Sorry, freaks and wierdos are now a protected class. We (agents) can't out them to buyers without risking discrimination suits. We can only suggest that the buyer check the sex offender registry or check with the local police.

Or smoking tobacco, not MJ, crack or crank.
Dare I bring up Muslims in this? Lets see,Muslim:I smell bacon coming from my neighbors,even though I don’t know what bacon smells like. Muslim:I think they are having ham,because it’s Easter,what is Easter?Muslim:They are now having barbecued pulled pork sandwiches.Quick call the police.Police:”You are disrespecting the religion of peace”.Police:”No more food for you”. Sounds like San Francisco.
It would take all that and smell-o-vision to watch Avatar again.
“...trying to be polite turns around and whips you in the butt.”
Tee hee!
I truly believe that anyone who enjoys being in pain is a weirdo who needs some serious counseling.
