Delayed Works Rant...

Hi Burbur, How long has this been going on? If you’d like to give some more information and would like some input I’d be happy to give my thoughts. Because you saying you are stressed out and kind of want to do something to him doesn’t sound that good of a situation to me. Edit: Edited first part after reading your update. Edit 2: Just read your updated post, seems like your neighbor is a huge ******* my condolence. If you already got the police and landlord informed and they are to slow to take actions best thing you can do is take video evidence with, video, sound and time and just collect it together and try with more collected evidence of repeated disruption of the rest times. Be careful to not take footage of something that could be counted as a breach of privacy. If it’s mostly the noise during sleep time you could get ohropax and for further noise canceling sleep ear pads, I’am aware it might need slight getting used to and there’s also vibrations of…..different kinds if he’s throwing parties but it might help until you can enforce a better solution. A mediator might be able to help but that really depends of how much of an ******* your neighbor is. <a href="http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/noise/neighbourhoodnoise.htm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/noise/neighbourhoodnoise.htm</a> this page has some nice information but it’s from Austria so it might not apply to your state but maybe there’s information you don’t already know.

I hope you'll somehow solve this problem. I really can understand you as my neighbor from above is awful druncard, who likes to listen to music loudly and sings early in the morning when not even drunk! He throws parties in the middle of the week and doesn't give a shit other people need to sleep. I'm so stressed out, I just want to do something bad to him but I can't, I'm just a girl. Police is useless , he turns off the music only when officers come and then continues. They can't even penalize him! Too much time passes while court considers the penalty application. I want to move out but it's impossible at the moment.

sorry to hear that

We don't blame you for your troubles. I'd say take it up to our local city service bureau. I'm sure these things have been suggested and even more are a pain in the ass to take care of since it'll eat away at your free time and I know most people would rather do anything BUT go to their cities' office. I hope for the best for you and your girlfriend's health. I personally do not mind delays, so take care.

Its okay Fuya, sometimes letting it out is better than keeping them all to yourself. Hang in there.

No worries man, horrible neighbors have had negative impacts on me too.

SneakingUpOnMe

I would not recommend dumping them....that’s literally fighting littering with littering..... He could drop a bag and a letter with the cigarettes in front of their door but I dont feel that would do much, at worst they may dump them straight back onto his balcony in the bag as is…

Hi Fuya, I’am sorry to hear that you have to deal with such nasty people. Because you can’t directly talk to them my first suggestion would have been to put a letter into their mailbox and ask them to meet and talk about it. But because you already contacted your landlord and they got fined this approach might be even less effective now. So the next best thing you can do is send them an ashtray or something like this together with a letter to ask them to please use this instead of throwing their cigarettes and trash down. If you feel it would help you can include some pictures of the accumulated trash at the end of it. You should be polite but direct about your concerns in that letter hopefully they accept it and stop littering your balcony. If not then they are human dregs. You could also think about getting a mediator but I don’t know where you live so I don’t know what kind of mediation services they offer nor the cost of such, as an example in Austria they have something like this: <a href="http://www.legalaid.wa.gov.au/INFORMATIONABOUTTHELAW/HOMES/NEIGHBOURS/Pages/NeighboursCommonProblems.aspx" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.legalaid.wa.gov.au/INFORMATIONABOUTTHELAW/HOMES/NEIGHBOURS/Pages/NeighboursCommonProblems.aspx</a> Maybe there’s a good and reputable Mediation service available in your area. Another option is, as Vanquice and Exodus adwd already suggested, get a roof for your balcony BUT talk about it with your landlord first because at worst you have to take it down again at best he’s willing to pay for it. Also get the required permissions first! I would suggest something in this form <a href="https://www.toppolycarbonatesheet.com/media/product/e7/polycarbonate-transparent-plastic-roofing-sheet-for-canopy-or-balcony-awnings-67.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.toppolycarbonatesheet.com/media/product/e7/polycarbonate-transparent-plastic-roofing-sheet-for-canopy-or-balcony-awnings-67.jpg</a> so the trash doesn’t accumulate on top of that roof but instead slides down. Don’t get a glass one tough because if they are human dregs they will take that as an opportunity to try to damage it… I don’t know from what angle they throw their trash onto your balcony but you have to take that into account and get a protection for the side as well. The second last option would be to keep taking proof of the littering and bugging your landlord and public order office to do something about it. Think of safety and security reasons in regards to the building that your landlord might be more concerned about; Fire, damage and such to the building. For the public order office, keep taking proof of the littering, if you want to film the process as proof, ask them first so that you don’t violate any privacy rules and if they would even accept video proof. You already got them fined once if they don’t stop they might stop after getting fined a few more times maybe that will get the message through. And the last option which sucks the most for you sadly would be to move. I know it’s annoying and sounds stupid but if there are some assholes who want to ruin your live for whatever reasons and you tried everything else it’s better to move on than stay and feel bad. I already figured something was up when you went silent all of a sudden but I was hoping it would be just something minor like visiting relatives or technical difficulties. I hope you can resolve this matter quickly in a friendly way so you don’t have to live with a grudge for each other. PS. And there’s nothing wrong about ranting! As long as you do it like you did, in a civil manner. Get that stuff out of your system and maybe get some ideas and thoughts from others.

This is bad ... I don't know what to say.

Frank Leo

Collect all the cig butts in a trash bag, try to get a keycard that gains you access to their level and dump all the butts on their doorstep...

Quem nolton

As vanquice said, try using something to cover your balcony from getting trash dropped onto it ? I hope you can find some sort of resolution for this problem !

This is bad I know. Someone don't care about other .If you can't do anything about him maybe you will create a roof for protect your balcony . This may help you a little.

Oh man, that sucks... When I move, I always hope to have decent neighbors, because neighbors who lack basic human decency are so annoying to deal with... Hope you find a way to deal with this that doesn't turn into open warfare.

Chirutai

Man if that was happening to me I'd be mad. Smokers can be annoying enough as it is, but dropping the butts down to the balcony below? Disgusting. Must leave a horrible smell as well..

Inquisitor

These are the exactly things that drive you crazy

Erwin Doppler

oh damn that sucks. So many people are so inconsiderate it's disgusting.

Kingddd

People that do this kind of thing should be evicted.

Ty

That's disgusting. Thanks for venting. I take whatever comes out of you so vent away. *Sultry Look*

Damn I know how you feel man sorry hope you all the best T-T
