too much noise

[amy maldonado]

hi guys
i recently signed a lease. and was advised by the
landlord that there may be some noise heard in my
apartment since the apartment is located above a
bar. before signing the lease i went to inspect
the noise level and it was tolerable. i figured a
juke box is ok. right, wrong the floor is so thin
i feel i am in the bar. i can hear the conversations
going on down stairs, it is impossible to sleep.
the day i checked the noise level must of been a day
he had the music on low. so i am sleepless in ny till
about 3:30 am. not to mention he said (landlord) that he
operates fri-sat. he really opens wed-sat.

quest.#1 is he responsible for soud proofing his bar or my bedroom at least?
quest.#2 as a bar is he supposed to have the music up so loud. i dont know if he is registered as a bar or nightclub?
quest.#3 is he or i responsible for the soud proofing cost?
quest.#4 can i get out of this lease? though he warned me before time?
help sleepless in NY

A court would probably let you out of the lease.

the bedroom at least. by law is he responsible
for soundproofing the apartment?

AMY:

Since you are in NYC. are you rent stabilzed are there 6 or more apartments in the building, what is the rent ?

All questions that needs to be asked, you do have a right to peace and quiet, and being over a bar is kinda not too bright on your part, but maybe thats it.....

Think of this the more the landlord turns over the apartment the more he can charge in rent....

So you may have him by the nuts if you are rent stabilized!
