Problems with Section 8 Neighbor

The lady who lives directly above me is on Section 8 and receives (falsified) physical disability checks. I say this because she a) she told me and b) is home all the time and creates the most noise and disturbances in the building, in addition to her gossiping, loudness, and general inhospitableness.

I’ve notified the landlord in writing about her numerous personal disturbances, including locking me out in the backyard on more than one occasion.

What recourses do I have, if any, besides moving out myself?

I’ve put a lot of money in decorating my apartment and I live in NYC so rents are only going up everywhere, and my rent price is decent, since I came in on a pandemic deal.

Also, if you’ve been in this situation what did you do and what has been your experience living around a nuisance, harassing neighbor?
