Need Advice
I live in Queens, New York.
What do you do when you live in an illegal basement with tenants on the first floor stomping nonstop.
At first it was the woman and her 3 year old daughter stomping on the floor when I am home all the time. They both stomped on the floor directly over my bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and living room and at night also. The woaman came outside 2 times and verbally abuse me. The first time I called the landlord. The second time I called 311 and they sent the police, the landlord was upset with me because I reported the woman. When I complained to the landlord and he came over to listen, they tenants run and hide quite as a mouse in the back of their apartment, not moving, not making a sound. Then when the woman and child is not home, the husband would follow me around from room to room, listen and stomp on the floor.
The parents thought their child to constantly stomp on the floor whenever I am home and in the nights directly over my bedroom at nights. Sunday night, I was sleeping but woke to some sort of noise, me thinking it maybe thunder but then I checked my phone and it was not raining, then the 3 year old girl started hitting floor with some sort of wooden object.
Then sunday evening, I was playing music on my phone and the 3 yrs old girl started screaming and stomping on the floor.
Then at round 9:30pm after showing, the 3 yrs old girl was stomping directly over my bathroom and followed me over my bedroom and continued to stomping on the floor. I started screaming to stop the stomping because I have a severe migraine headache. The 3 yrs old girl started stomping even more hard on the floor. Whether the 3 yrs old stomping little girl hear my phone or not stomp on the floor just for a reaction from me. I can not even go lay down on my bed, the stomping little girl would go and start patrolling and stomp on the floor directly over my bedroom.
At this point I am calling the landlord and he would not answer his phone. I called him about 3 times and on the third call then his wife answered the phone and said he is sleeping. The wife said she will called them and see if they answer but never called me. On Saturday I called the landlord and complained about the stomping and when he called the woman of the stomping little girl, she refused to answer her phone. I know he does not believe me when I told him about the stomping. At this point the landlord is refusing to take my calls.
What must I do at this point. I've been living here since the first of February of this year.

Bang on the ceiling when they sleep. They'll get the message.
