My neighbor constantly blasts loud music and hosts screaming matches with everyone she knows, always from 10pm to 7am. I called the police several times and only succeeded in stopping her for a few days at a time. Two days ago, at 6:30 a.m. after a virtually sleepless night due to her blaring music and having a screaming argument with her boyfriend, I regrettably lost my temper and banged on the wall and asked if she could turn the music down so I can finally sleep (I haven't spoken to her in person because I've heard her issue all sorts of threats to other people and fear for my safety). They screamed all sorts of obscene language back, while I repeatedly said I just wanted quiet . My neighbor sent her boyfriend over to scream at us. We argued for a bit (I only opened my door, we never invited him in) but I quickly tired of it and told him to leave. We tried to shut the door but he shoved it back open and began screaming that he didn't care how many people were in my house (me, my boyfriend, my cousin and two friends), he'd "f--- us all up". He eventually left after we informed him several times that we were calling the police. We filed a police report but my neighbor claimed he left when the police knocked on her door. I also informed my landlord in person and will be sending a certified letter detailing the incident and a copy of the police report.
Can I file any formal charges on my neighbor's boyfriend, like threatening and breaking and entering? Can I file anything on my neighbor herself? Do my friends count as witnesses? Do I have any hope of filing a restraining order on the boyfriend? And can I call the police and have him arrested for the incident described above if I see him in my building again? He is not on the lease or a resident here. I don't know his name yet. Thank you for your time.
