I say he should sue the real estate agent, based on undisclosed facts regarding the condo, requiring the agent to buy the place from him.
“Leather sex,” two words that don’t make any sense together, yet can’t be googled for clarification.
If it’s weird in SF then what?
That sounds like the entire city of San Francisco.
I doubt that a simple carpet and pad would deaden the sound of a whipping coming from downstairs.
Sounds like b.s. to me. The guys downstairs is probably not thrilled to hear the noise of someone walking on wood floors above him.
Perhaps when the leather is up downstairs, he can invite his friends over to do some clogging on the wooden floor.
Undoubtedly this is protected in San Fransico.
A crying baby, however, would be grounds for eviction.
At least the perv was kind enough to give him a heads-up in writing.
Hagerty is taking out the carpet to help with a medical condition, which is common.
If the downstairs neighbor knows that his activities create a noise hazard to his neighbors, then he is required to ameliorate the problem.
While carpet and pad can be an excellent sound barrier it should not be required over health issues for the new owner.
If there is one thing I hate, it’s carpeting. You would have to vacuum five times a day to keep it clean. Beautiful rugs on wood floors ....now, that’s civilized. And whether buying or renting, investigate your neighbors. Stupid to mive in upstairs from a pervert.
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.

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 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.
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.
