What is the name of your state? PA
I have been complaining about a noise that comes from the condo above me for over three months. It is coming from the floor above my bedroom directly above the bed. It keeps me awake at night. The noise sounds like the scraping of wodden furniture across the wooden floor. The noise happens between 9PM and 2AM on most nights. It is sporadic and does not happen every night, but when it does occur it is followed by many repeated noises in the same evening. On one night I noted seventeen separate times that the noise occurred. On many occasions I would go out on my balcony and observe that the tenant above had their lights on - they were awake.
The noise is clearly a violation of the condo association rules and regulations.
{I should note that I have been living here for twelve years without any complaints or concerns until these past three to four months. I travel alot so I am not home every night and, on some nights when I am home, there are no noises at all.}
I have continually called and complained to the front desk - each time the front desk has taken a report. I complained to the Manager, after several days of suffering, with a letter and direct meeting; he said he would look into the matter. I met with the Assistant Manager (who seems to handle these items) this month and gave him a letter describing the noise and a chronological listing of the past four weeks - I have kept a log. He assured me he would deal with the problem that day. Last week, I had the front desk send up the doorman to observe. The doorman arrived and stood in my bedroom for ten minutes and witnessed three separate incidents. He commented the first time with, "What is she doing up there?"
Last week I received a letter from a lawyer claiming to represent the tenant above. He insisted the tenant was not to blame. He claimed that the tenant is very old, has been living there for years without any issues up to this point, that there have been no changes to the apartment - he claims the apartment is carpeted, and that the tenant does not keep late hours. He further insisted that by no means should I be allowed to approach or terrorize the tenant!
Now I'm being labeled the bad guy!
I came home yesterday after one weeks travel - no noise last night, but tonight there have been three incidents (so far!) - I am at my wits end!
I don't know what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
