Some Peace and Quiet and then BOOM….

 

So, the upstairs neighbor moved out and for a few weeks there was peace and quiet and sleep.

Now when I say peace and quiet, I do not mean complete silence. This is a complex of 200+ units but the noise we did hear was normal living life noises (TVs, music, kids being rambunctious, some conversation, etc.) but nothing that rose to the level of interfering with our enjoyment of the unit. And most importantly it was not happening during quiet hours.  We could still watch a movie, read a book, hold our own conversation without yelling to be heard, etc.

 

Then I believe Mid-March the new guy moved in. His first weekend here he decided to blast his music. Since he was new and probably did not realize that it was coming into our unit we decided to go upstairs, introduce ourselves, and explain how loud the music was in our unit. He was polite and said it was probably his subwoofer & he would lower it and he did.

 

Well, that was the end of his politeness. Every other weekend after that he held parties in his unit (during a pandemic) and would blast his music and subwoofer. It would usually start around 7pm (after the front desk is closed) and would go until 2am-3am. We would write to Birchwood Park Management, and they would say they would talk to him, yet the behavior would continue.

 

Now as if the music and stomping over head was not bad enough during one party, he flooded our bathroom. We woke up Sunday morning to find a huge puddle of water on our bathroom floor with water actively leaking from the light fixture. As if this was not terrible enough it got worse.
