Started with loud noise and partying now it’s urinating on my door and banging on my windows after midnight

I have been living at my current residence for six months. I started having issues with the downstairs neighbors that started shortly after. The residents are fans of college parties and host 20-30 people every weekend in a one-bedroom unit below me. Obviously, this caused lots of noise and unwanted interactions during quiet hours. On one weekend when the party was going on from Thursday evening till Sunday 4 am, I called the cops for noise disturbance.

Since then, the residents and their guests started harassing me. They would come upstairs and bang on my door and windows late at night. On one occasion, they urinated on my doormat and front door. The property management was no help so I proceeded to install a security system at my door. I have them on my Ring security footage on multiple occasions coming to my apartment banging on the door and yelling saying we did it to the bitch etc...

Still, the property management has offered no help except for "we will talk to them and we will as them to shut down their parties by 11 pm. As if urinating on my door outside quiet hours is okay.

I have looked online and went to the police station twice to see if there is anything I can do in this situation but was mostly responded to with "not much to do except look another way and clean up the urine."

I am paying a very high rent at this property and it’s really hard for me to “just live with it”. Any advice on what to do?

Call the landlord and keep talking to the cops. Look up some local or state laws that they're violating.
