So the neighbors upstairs are a young couple, I assume are boyfriend/girlfriend. Always fighting, always yelling and lately the fighting has escalated. I can always her her screaming at him, sometimes into the late hours. The other day heard something smashed, maybe glass, followed by more screaming. These idiots live directly above me so I pounded on my ceiling so they would get some kind of message. To my surprise, they quieted down. However, at 1:30 in the morning I'm woken up again by heavy footsteps and more fighting so I didn't hesitate to call the cops. I'm pretty much fuming at this point and I have work in the morning. Cops got here in record time ( I told them it sounded like someone was getting murdered, guaranteed sub-5 minute response time) and the fighting ended.
So I write up a letter to the apartment and post it on the front door of the lovely couple living above me. Here goes:
To apartment xxx:
This letter is a collective effort, written by a group of your neighbors, also residents of building #xx. We need to bring to your attention the disruptions that we are forced to endure, sometimes after hours when we are trying to sleep.
It all started on the day when both of you moved in when some of us witnessed a shouting match in the parking lot next to your moving truck. None of us realized that was just the tip of the iceberg. Lately the fighting has been getting louder, more disruptive, more frequent and seemingly dangerous as we hear objects being thrown and doors slammed mixed in with much swearing, screaming and crying.
We understand that in an apartment complex, one can never expect 100% privacy and silence. However, loud noises occurring after-hours and domestic violence cannot be tolerated. We can only bear so much when we have children living here who do not need to be exposed to this sort of behavior, as well as ourselves who require rest at night and desire a calm, peaceful place to live.
For your information, the disturbances emanating from your apartment can be heard on all three floors of the building. Even when objects are not being thrown around, the yelling and screaming carries through the walls and is audible in the hallways and in other neighbors' units.
Therefore, please be advised that this letter is serving as a warning to both of you for any future incidents. While we were reluctant to involve the police before, from this point on we will not hesitate to call them again on the next occasion of violence or violations of the Town of XXXXXXXXX's noise ordinance. Furthermore, we will also collectively begin lodging formal complaints to the apartment association office, your landlord and police. All we desire is a comfortable and peaceful place to call home. We hope to have your cooperation. Thank you...
Sincerely,
Your neighbors at building XX.
I'm hoping that one of them kills one another, its pretty hard to make noise and fight when you are by yourself. What a bunch of inconsiderate assholes.
