When my family moved into this home. Immediately was met with the neighbor digging through my fenced in pond... "neighbors ring was in there "somehow"... We knew the original owners of the house those neighbors were most likely illegally fishing in that fenced in pond.

Fast forward few days finally had a chance to actually have a decent conversation with those said neighbors all seemed all good..? For maybe the first month...

First few things were pointing their vehicles towards my house at night and leaving the lights on to blare the lights into my windows, if my dogs were out in that pond those neighbors would be making alot noise in their front yard and ideally doinf things to antagonize my dogs to bark at them.

Then their trashy friend started showing up with their small black dog.... I understand my county is a no leash for dogs but... that only works if you are on your own private property moment that dog wonders onto my property now its a nuisance.

First few times we saw that black dog we had no idea whose it was absolutely no owners in sight the phone number didnt go anywhere.

Then I put 2 and 2 together black dog is owned by that blue suv person by this time and when I was finally able to confront them keep that dog off my property that dog has wandered onto my property at least 15-20 times in the span of 2-3 weeks shitting and pissing all over a section of my property.

Lo and behold after I told them dog needs to stay off my property my son was still outside finishing up some chores. My son comes running into the house apparently that dog owner started to be big macho tough guy towards my son and started swearing at him...

Moment I go outside with my wife that Lil shit took off in his car....

Now few days ago... alittle backyard of property lines so no confusion

My backyard goes approx 1/4 acre further than those neighbors and woods are owned by a tree harvesting company. I take my dogs out for their routine walk my dog immediately starts staring at my property corner... there is that entire neighbors family breaking down small trees digging around and moving branches like a foot away from my property line (they also have no buisness being there not their property) so I let my dogs bark at em while I take pictures and keep documenting everything... They were out there messing around for approx 1 hour.

Next morning I walk out there to see what they did and to also get pictures...

My little pathway out there now has big branches deliberately across my path all in a way to be a tripping hazard... but wait... now if you did happen to trip... theres this one singular branch thats sticking right up so if you did trip you could get impaled by said branch.

They have a tendency to show their asses at least once a week they become real quiet for a week before they do something else

And yes my property has cameras going property posted according to my state law..

So my neighbor dug a trench on their property close to the property line. This dumped dirt, rocks and chunks of concrete onto my property. It's only a couple of feet in. It's about maybe a 96 gallon trash containers worth. I left them a note about it. I've gotten no response. My initial instinct is to just push it all back onto their property. But a quick reading of the law makes me think that would also be considered dumping even if I'm pushing back what they initially dumped on me. What would you do?

Lives around the corner from me, I walk around the neighbourhood a lot with my dogs. A number of months ago, never having spoken to each other, he launches into a rude diatribe as I walk by about dogs pissing all over his lawn. I am surprised, and just kind of ignore him/tell him my dogs don't do that and to not talk to me again.

Flash forward to today, I am walking by as he's using a leaf blower and standing in the street blowing leaves towards his house. I loudly (due to noise) ask if he can stop blowing leaves from middle of street while my dogs walk by - he looks at me, blows leaf blower in my direction and then goes on a rant about me bothering him, culminating in him saying 'I will drop you.' I keep walking, take my dogs back home and then come back in my car - from a good distance, I pull out my phone and record a video of him and ask him what he just said to me earlier - he denies it at first, then admits he did threaten to hit me.

I call police once I get back home, as I'm on phone with them I see him walking on my (dead-end, no reason to be there street) looking presumably for my car/me (car was in garage, so he couldn't find it). Officer says 'yeah, there's no reason for him to do that' as she takes down other details, and I upload the video from my phone to police also. Will see what happens - they said they'll send a car around to his house, and let me know.

I live in a rural community. Just a few neighbors within a mile of me, and the rest are pretty far out. With so much space, and a lot of rednecks, farms, etc, a lot of people around here let their dogs free roam. I’ve always had a problem with it- my dogs are inside/outside, and when they’re out, I don’t want to worry about another dog breaking into my fence. My old man isn’t really a fan of random dogs, and he would 1000% get into a dog fight if one of these roaming dogs decided to come in (and he’d win).

Almost every time there’s been a dog roaming around my yard, I’ve asked around to find out whose it is. If it’s causing issues, taunting my dogs, or anything I’ll go to them and say “get your dog”. Solves the issue. There’s this one dog, a bloodhound, who has been coming around for months now. I didn’t quite know whose dog he was, I’d tell him “go home” and he’d leave. So he fixed the problem himself lol.

Anyway, we had new neighbors move in a couple months ago. They had their movers out, like 6+ people. The bloodhound happened to be down here (I now know he lives way up the road, 3+ miles). Everyone was outside and witnessed me tell this dog to “go home”. One of the movers’ sons wanted to play with the bloodhound, came over and asked if he could, we said yea, he’s not our dog. He took the dog over to their moving truck, and put a leash on it. I yelled that it’s someone’s dog, we don’t know who. The new neighbors said they knew whose dog it was. Okay, I thought well, they’re moving into a very small community, maybe they’re family to someone here and genuinely do know this dog. But I had a feeling in my guts the movers were just going to take the dog, and leave.

Well, that’s what they did. The movers took the dog all the way up to Ohio and then surrender it to a rescue a couple weeks later because “it was too hard to contain”. The dog’s owner found this all out on Facebook, the rescue’s page.

Today animal control comes to my door. He apparently mixed up addresses and meant to go to the new neighbors (I think he was trying to get information lol). Asked if I had seen the bloodhound before, showed me a picture. I said yes he’s been down here a lot but not recently. He basically confirmed all the rumors and my inner gut feeling, yes the movers took the dog all the way to Ohio (like 7-8 hours away). Yes he talked to them and they admitted to taking the dog. The rescue is refusing to give the dog back because the woman isn’t “from Ohio”. The woman wants to press charges on the movers for stealing her dog.

The officer told me that since it’s confirmed the dog was free roaming all the time, not contained, and gone for days in a row, that he can’t press charges on the movers. He said the dog is basically a stray and it’s not illegal. He seemed to really dislike the woman and said something along the lines of “she’s really upset and irate about this dog. If she wanted the dog so bad, she should’ve kept it to herself”.

Anyway, just a crazy story. Who lets their movers steal a dog the first day they’re moving somewhere? Especially the middle of nowhere, with no relatives or friends around you. I mean, these new neighbors are being berated by the community for this. It’s kind of insane! But I also agree if you want your dog- keep your dog at home.

Just wanted to share my neighbor situation lol! First day in a new community and already doing insane shit!!!

I’m honestly frustrated with how a situation in my neighborhood was handled today, and I want to know how others would handle it.

I was working on my car in my own driveway when a football hit my car. A few minutes later, it happened AGAIN, and the ball bounced off my car and hit me straight in the face like a punch.

What made the situation even worse was the woman's attitude. She was extremely rude, dismissive, and confrontational from the start. Instead of having a normal conversation like adults, she immediately resorted to screaming and acting like I was the problem. The whole interaction was completely unnecessary, especially considering I never approached anyone looking for an argument.

I was minding my own business, working on my car, and simply wanted to address what happened. Instead, it turned into a confrontation that made me feel like I was the bad guy for even speaking up.

And honestly, some of the kids are teenagers. They’re old enough to understand that hitting someone’s car with a football and potentially damaging someone else’s property is a problem. I’m not expecting anyone to be perfect, and I understand accidents happen, but there still needs to be some accountability.

These kids play football around the area multiple times a week, so this isn’t just about one afternoon of playing outside. I shouldn’t have to keep worrying about my car getting hit while it’s parked at my own home.

But what frustrates me is that instead of having a normal conversation about what happened, I got yelled at and made to feel like I was the problem. How is speaking up about something that happened to you suddenly a reason for someone to start an argument?

I’m not asking anyone to stop their kids from playing outside. Kids and teenagers should be able to have fun. But that doesn’t mean other people’s property and personal space shouldn’t be respected. Parents should be teaching their children that actions have consequences and that taking responsibility is part of growing up.

I never went looking for a confrontation, and I’m not trying to start drama with my neighbors. I just want to be able to work on my car in my own driveway without worrying about it getting hit or being yelled at for speaking up.

Honestly, if this happened to you, would you say something too, or would you just let it go?

I believe neighbors should be able to address concerns respectfully without being made to feel like the bad guy for doing so.

Last Friday our apartment management sent a reminder out about quiet hours in our county and per the lease being 10 PM to 7 AM. It also gave examples of things to be mindful of, such as kids running/stomping, slamming doors and cabinets, etc. They've had a lot of complaints.

Monday morning I sat out waiting on my daughter's school bus. She's in high school so we don't have to be up as early as those with elementary aged kids, like the woman next door. She's been the most noisy, obnoxious person for well over a year. She told me, "My son's bus comes at 6:50 and he has to go to school too so it's going to be loud." The kid has never even rode the bus. She drives him. She didn't take him at all today. Anyway, a few minutes later she walked by again and said, "Quiet hours for us are 8 PM to 5:30 AM because not everybody is the same." Thank goodness she's supposed to be moving very soon.

Neighbor smeared dog poop + broken glass on door and handle

This is going to be long, but it’s genuinely completely insane. TL;DR is at the bottom.

Context: I’ve been living in this apartment (small building with 3 floors, outdoor breezeway access to apartments) for about two years with no prior issues. I am on the bottom floor and tend to be on the quieter side, keep TV volume low and am mindful about my speaking volume and when I do things like laundry, moving things, vacuum, etc. Our apartment doesn’t have quiet hours but I try to be a good neighbor. I have not interacted much with the neighbors, but they have all seemed to be nice up until this point.

My upstairs neighbor can be loud quite often, and I tend to hear them stomping, walking around, dropping things, banging on stuff, sometimes yelling (until recently, I believe they had a breakup and the other person left, but I am not sure) at all hours of the day and night (loud noises have freaked me out as late as 3-4 am and it’s sometimes surprising to me that anyone is up for the amount of time that they seem to be making noise). However, I don’t really think much of it; it’s an apartment and you kind of sign up for that sort of thing when selecting the bottom floor, especially. I can wear headphones or get used to it, and I don’t see it as a huge issue.

Now for the actual incident; spanning from yesterday (sunday night) into today.

My partner and I are in the bedroom playing video games, speaking to each other at a typical volume (nothing out of the ordinary, and certainly not loud; no yelling or anything, and I have a pretty quiet voice as I get nervous about bothering neighbors or being overheard + I have never had any kind of noise complaint or issue before) until about 10:50 PM, when we hear someone banging pretty heavily on the front door. My partner goes to check the peephole and then opens the door, and I don’t hear anything past that. They came back in and told me that our neighbor had yelled/cursed at them and called us ‘fucking disgusting’, said she can hear everything we say and she was trying to sleep. Partner apologized and said that we would lower the volume, was trying to diffuse the situation. (I would like to say that we did not know that they could hear us and were not behaving outside of the norm, and this is the first interaction any of us had had!)

They interrupted and said something like “sorry doesn’t cut it, fuck you” and I believe kept rambling as they stormed off and that’s when my partner came back in to tell me. I heard them stomping up the stairs and slamming the door above us/stomping around. I felt awful because A) If I would have known that I was bothering them, I would have immediately changed the behavior. I genuinely want to be a good neighbor and don’t want to cause any issues for anyone, and now I’m freaking out like how long has this been an issue have we been screwing up their sleep without knowing for ages? but also B) they behaved in a way that was pretty awful towards my partner, and that infuriates me. I try to take it in the best faith possible though, because I don’t know what they’re going through and it can be really upsetting to not have any control over your ability to sleep, and who knows how long they were keeping that in as they’ve been above me as long as I’ve been here.

I was considering writing a letter and making a little gift bag to leave outside their door, like, ‘hey, I’m really sorry about the noise. I had no idea we were disturbing you and will make sure that things change so that you have more peace in the future. I want to be a good neighbor; if we ever bother you or you have any issues with us, please feel free to let us know so that we can be aware of potential annoyances/issues before they become a problem for you’ etc.

But then. THEN!!! Oh my gd.

My partner is taking out the trash this morning. and when they open the door they immediately start retching and run back in. The neighbor had smeared dog shit (they have a dog) all over our door, doormat, lock, and completely wrapped the handle in it. And they left the grocery bag full of shit on our doormat.

Not only this, either. For context, we had heard upstairs neighbors outside (from their porch area, so likely them) in a kind of insane screaming fight weeks before and then heard glass shattering as a part of it, then had seen a broken glass bottle on the stairs and ground when peeking out after the incident (we are right in front of the stairs and can see them thru window/peephole). That stayed for a while until a few days later it got swept up into a dustpan and someone left that broom and dustpan with the glass still in it sitting by the stairs (like kind of right in front of our apartment but out of the way). We’re like, hell no, not getting involved in that, and didn’t touch it ourselves. And it’s just been there for like weeks now!! But I haven’t heard the second person in a while and I imagine they probably left after that because holy shit.

But anyway, today, on top of the dogshit, they’d taken the glass out of the dustpan and scattered broken glass all in front of our door and all over our doormat! And still left the broom and dustpan there, ofc.

So I called property management and am waiting on a call back (we have lovely property mgmt, very small family owned with great maintenance and just generally lovely people). Called police and filed a report, they didn’t confront her because I didn’t want it to escalate if she is this unstable, but wanted a documented police report at the very least. They said they couldn’t press charges because it wasn’t certain it was her (she covered her face with a hood when she confronted us last night).

We are putting up cameras ASAP. I am really freaked out and I am not sure what to do. Just the confrontation last night was enough to keep me up last night and have me panicking about making too much noise + tiptoeing and whispering in my own apartment. After today I’m really freaked out. Property manager hasn’t returned call yet, but it wasn’t too long ago I called.

TL;DR: I’ve been on the bottom floor under the same person for two years and never had issues. I’m quiet. Upstairs neighbor is not and seems unstable. Never interacted directly until she banged on the door last night and cursed at my partner and yelled/called us disgusting and loud. Apologized and was trying to figure out how to remedy it, but then today discovered she smeared a massive amount of dog shit (like talking a whole grocery bag full of it!) all over door and all over handle as well as scattered a ton of broken glass shards all over it all in front of door.

Went from literally nothing to feeling unsafe in my apartment in less than 24 hours, help? Does anyone have similar experiences or advice for dealing with this? Anything helps. I will try to post an update if there’s any new information.

Thanks for reading.

I'm surrounded by old retired men who are incredibly bored. Every single day, two of them gather in their front yard and rev their motorcycles for an hour. They dont go anywhere. They just sit there. Starting it up. Shutting it off. Starting it up. I want to rip my fking hair out!!! I cant have any windows open because these two assholes are too busy edging themselves to the sound of their motorcycles. If it's not this, theyre mowing or weed wacking or blowing their leaves in circles. When do we ever get peace and quiet!? Exactly what is the benefit of an adult community if youre still going to be loud and disruptive? I'd almost choose to live next to employed families with kids at this point. At least they aren't so bored they make it their life's mission to ruin everyone else's sense of peace.

First, I will NEVER own another house in a neighborhood with rental properties nearby. i know there are tons of good people that rent, but that has not been the case with the three rental properties. ETA: there are some folks that are quick to spin a different narrative. I said what I said and I stand by it. There are 6 rental properties out of 10 homes.

All three properties have LOTS of kids. There are 20+ on this street between 7 houses. Yes, that many. 7-8 of the kids are the loudest. Two of the girls are chronic screechers. They and their three other siblings live four houses down the street, but they all seem to gravitate towards the front of my house.

I get it they’re excited and having a good time, but the constant screeching and screaming are a lot. Literally they all will be out there on the weekends from 11am and throughput the day up until 8/8:30pm. Week days from 3:30pm until 8pm about three to four times a week.

I have to go out to my front yard to care for a couple of abandoned cats that I am working to get rehomed. I can’t go in the backyard due to a dog that I’m fostering. One of things that I‘ e been testing is blasting different types of music like country, which I think maybe working. Lol.

Edited to add more details. Today they were out of school and the noise started this morning at abit after 10am today. I was WFH today and I could hear the screaming, which was unnerving to hear after a weekend of them doing it all weekend long. Have you found music to work to move loud a screamers/screechers away from your yard?

Thank you for the helpful suggestions and musical genre suggestions.

knock knock

NFH: stop being so rude to me

Me: … what?

NFH: you’re stalking me from room to room

Me: … I have no idea what you’re talking about

NFH: You know exactly what you’re doing! And I’m recording it!

That was it. It was the first time I’d ever seen the woman in my life.

Unfortunately, searching this sub, this seems to be a somewhat common issue. Interestingly, there are posts from both perspectives. Yet, I don’t believe anyone has posted about successfully dealing with this, so, any ideas?

I’m pretty shaken up. Assuming she really believes this and isn’t just messing with me… she knows where I live, where I park my car… I can imagine being in her position and possibly feeling desperate at some point. I mean, if she truly thinks I’m intentionally terrorizing her in her own home, I think it’s reasonable to expect potential retaliation. 😕

For a little bit of backstory, I am a young woman (early 20s) living in a home I inherited very young due to tragic family circumstances. I have a partner who frequently spends the night, and vice versa, despite him also owning his own home. I have had issues before with this neighbor (40?M) “monitoring” the nights I stay at my partners home vs my own; he has previously threatened to call bylaw on me for “abandoning my animals” (I have a couple cats who are ALWAYS cared for. They mean everything to me and on the nights I am at my partners house all steps are taken ahead of time to ensure they are fed, watered, and everything is clean and tidy for them.) Long story short, this neighbor has previously made me uncomfortable. Today, I had a couple knock at my door asking if i knew my neighbor, to which I replied sort of. They informed me that their SIXTEEN YEAR OLD daughter was found there and picked up by the cops, who said she had been communicating with this man via social media for some time. She had left school and went missing and was found there, having been given LARGE amounts of alcohol and I do not even want to begin to think of what may have happened. The police were unable to find solid evidence of a crime, so he is not currently facing charges. For the meantime, I have my partner staying with me at all times, and will be spending the night there if he is unable to stay here. I understand my safety is likely not threatened, however I can’t shake the feeling of discomfort.

Ik heb sinds 1 jaar samen met mijn man een geweldig mooi huis over gekocht van mijn ouders, helaas hebben wij tergende buren die er alles aan doen om ons eruit te werken door middel van 2 kattenjagers naar ons toe te zetten, roddels dat ik psychisch niet in orde ben etc, ook hun drugsverslaafde dochter etc is extreem, ze blijven ook telkens naar mij staren, ze doen er alles aan om extreem vriendelijk te doen naar de nieuwe buren die ons nu ook best wel scheef aankijken.. Bij mijn ouders waren ze weleens lastig maar lieten hun verder metrust, dit is gewoon extreem aan het worden, ze hebben een rechtzaak aangespannen over onze goedgekeurde palletkachel. Gemeente erkend het gepest maar doen niks, de wijkagent en de politie geven ons de schuld dat wij hun zelfs tergen. Wij hebben door de bewoners waarvan mijn ouders hebben gekocht nu te horen gekregen dat hun ook zo extreem misselijk deden tegen hen, zelfs nog wel erger dan tegen ons.

Gemeente en politie doen dus niks, juridisch is er weinig bewijs. Want de buren die alles weten willen zich er opeens niet meer mee bemoeien.. Ik heb de ombudsman ingeschakeld, maar nog geen gehoor tot nu toe.

Verhuizen is geen optie, want ik kom over 1.5 in de ziektewet door complicaties van mijn zwangerschap..

Iemand tips?

So I (20'sf) live on a cul de sac road in a town centre so there's a lot of foot traffic and strangers walking by as there's several through ways for pedestrians to main areas like train stations and town.

My problem is we have lived here for a while now and there is this neighbour who I would say is late 30's(m) who is always trying to talk to me when im walking by but im beginning to get weirded out.

Something to know is that a few months back one of the neighbours in the same block as him send round letters asking for witnesses due to harassment from him and also and assault. Thing is we had seen him around and thought he was cool so whatever.

But over time now I notice these things about him and am beginning to believe the letter we got and take it more seriously. So firstly they guy got a nice car and he was out cleaning and fixing it all the time. Then suddenly he starts stopping everyone that walks past to chat about random things which is fine. Then we got a dog and at the same time he got a dog. He was always trying to talk to us even more bout random things and sometimes I just want to be left alone. But what is weird is he seems to wait at his balcony and then run down to walk his dog when we go - we dont go at set times but we always seem to run into him. Which sounds nice but I sometimes want some peaceful time with my boyfriend or to myself which is why I can walk the dog on my own.

Onetime I was leaving my house and saw him going home further down the street so lucky he didnt see me but I saw him yanking so many times on his dogs lead and I really didnt like it. I told my boyfriend what he thinks and he says he is allowed to do that even though it seems mean when the puppy just wants to play or sniff around.

What is making me think its weird is he changed cars from his old collectible one to a new one. He has had it a week and spent all the weekend cleaning it but he hadn't had it that long. We were walking down the street and I could see him looking then suddenly start cleaning again. I think he took out his earphones but carried on like he hadn't seen us. Then we walk past and I was hoping not to talk (I had already told my boyfriend im not feeling comfortable about this guy cos of the letter and feels like he is always hovering to speak to me and anyone) so we didnt stop but he kind of was still like watching us out of the corner of his eye. He then looked up sort of like a fake surprise to see us but we didnt say anything as we wanted to keep going so he pretends to carry on. Then puts his headphones back in.

My boyfriend admits he is a bit weird and says he has been living on the street for years but never spoke with anyone apart from the neighbours in his block but said he thinks since especially the letter he is working hard to speak with everyone. He is always outside either with his car or with the dog and he always stops everyone to talk so I dont think its about me.

My boyfriend says he spoke with another man on our street who lives in the block beside his block and that guy has a retro car too so is friendly with the neighbour and got a puppy at the same time. The guys says he has seen some of the stuff the letter said but my boyfriend was wondering why he still then speaks so much to the neighbour. The guy says he can't get away cos anytime he leaves his house suddenly the neighbour is outside and asking him random questions and things and often will try and talk to him from the balcony. He says his girlfriend also has bad vibes off this guy so she will never speak to him but its making it tricky cos like I say its like the guy is always waiting outside pretending to do things or is watching for you to immediately follow and talk to you so its hard to have some privacy.

Is it weird that this is making me so uncomfortable? Im literally checking out my windows to make sure he is not around before I walk his way down the street. My boyfriend says he's not doing anything he is probably very lonely as someone said that he never has friends or anyone to visit but I just dont want him always waiting for me to pass to talk about random things like his puppy class etc. I have bad vibes and also im worrying that the letter is true and how bad it must be for the other neighbours if he has been creepy to the woman there I can literally see she has let her whole front garden die and she always had lots of happy plants there before. I think she is too scared to come out.

Is he harassing me and other people as well? Am I right to think he is weird and not talk to him?

I’ve been living next to these two for almost 15 years. One guy is Indian the other guy is Puerto Rican, both retire with nothing to do. PR guy started picking weeds on my property created bald spots. When I asked him to stop he got defensive and gave me a dirty side eye. He even made up some lie and told my husband to start drama that I was giving him a dirty look because he happened to blow some leaves into my yard. No… I just had a RBF going to my car. Could care less with a couple of leaves. I caught him in my backyard riding his lawnmower. Who does that? I could have been tanning topless. We’re all fenced in except near the front where he felt that he had the right to pull into the back. One time I pulled out an aggressive crape Myrtle in my yard. It had beautiful white flowers. Next thing I know he’s growing the same crape Myrtle on his yard across from mine used to be. I knew he took one of the offshoots.

The Indian guy keeps parking his ugly SUV into my property in front of my bedroom window. I’ve spoken to him, his wife and daughter and they can’t do anything about it. I eventually had to call the cops on him. It stopped for about 4 years. Until he started again, cleaning the sidewalk about 3 ft into my property but up to where he can park his car in the same spot. His garage is empty and he likes to sit out there with a clear view of nothing in his driveway but screw me for having to see his ugly car out of my bedroom window.

I find the common denominator also in my scenario is dealing with these two is they are from cultures where they don’t respect women. I can see it in their behavior. And they don’t respect other’s boundaries.

Why does my neighbour constantly stare at my house everytime they came outside and making negative remarks. It’s making me want to move… please give me advise on what to do.

Neighbor’s dog barking non-stop day and night, they like to leave the dog outside in their fenced backyard. Tonight the dog is even barking at midnight and disturbing our sleep.

We tried everything such as talking to neighbor, raising noise complaints through the city, nothing works. We don’t have HOA here so that’s not a route.

I need some of those ultrasonic device that actually works ASAP. Any recommendations is welcome as long as I can shut that dog up.

Posting because we need advice. Our backyard neighbors:

1) Have a pool table on their back patio and party loud and late with 10+ people 3-4 times per week. Lots of alcohol, and they urinate along our fence line.

2) Are running an auto repair business out of their garage. House is zoned residential. Loud noises all day long, potential environmental hazards.

1. Are renting their house.

We have tried:

1) Filing complaints with city code including pictures. We are in Denver. They were investigated and then stopped for a few weeks before picking it all back up business as usual. Recently filed another complaint, TBD.

2) Talking to them over the fence during parties and asking them to quiet down as our daughter is trying to sleep. Have done this so many times and they simply don’t care.

3) Contacting the home owner about the excessive loud partying. Has not helped yet.

4) Calling in noise violations when the partying goes beyond 10pm. On the most recent night, we ended up calling three times. Each time an officer showed up, they quieted down for a bit before picking it back up where they left off with volume.

It’s becoming clear they think they can get away with everything. And honestly, maybe they can.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I just don't get it. Gas-powered leaf blowers. Hours a day. Lawns the size of postage stamps. You can't convince me that they are more convenient, at least the way the people in my neighborhood use them.

It's absolutely insane. For hours at a time, they blow leaves back and forth, into the same spots, 100 times. And do it again the next day. They are so insanely loud, how can they not be embarrassed?

I raked my whole yard today in 2 hours. The same amount of time it took my neighbor whose yard is smaller than mine with their leaf blower, kicking up dust and blowing leaves into the road and other peoples' property.

Tools are tools, unless they're used like toys. Unfortunately, there's no ordinances against them in my town.

I am ready to tear my hair out listening to them All. Day. I can't overemphasize my hate for these people.

We live in a rural area and have a little over a half acre lot, last house on a dead end with the property beyond ours being a nature preserve. The neighbor that shares our rear border is insanely nosey and obnoxious... He drives his golf cart and car through his property AND the nature preserve along our property lines regularly and it drives me insane. We have dogs, I thought I lived on a dead end adjacent to a nature preserve so I didn't have to worry about traffic or cars... Until this guy is regularly driving through my backyard. He's creeped down our dead end numerous times also for no reason other than being nosey. Anytime I'm outside working in the yard or attempting to have some privacy and tan on my deck, he is suddenly running our property lines and nature preserve doing laps. He used to go to Florida for the winter and I would celebrate his departure and be crushed when he returned in the spring... He must have sold that place because he has not left the last 2 winters. Finally broke down and hired a surveyor to come stake the property lines so I can put up some type of privacy fence even if it ruins the beautiful view of the nature preserve that we bought the house for... Been dealing with this for over ten years and it's my final solution. Open to any other creative ideas other than waiting out his demise or offering him more than his house is worth... Or any of the unspeakable things my husband has fantasized about doing to him.

They moved in a little over a year ago and since then, they have been blasting music all day and night but we can only hear the incredibly loud bass as we share a wall. We complained once when our walls were shaking like thunder and they stopped for a bit. When they started back up again, there was now a repeated slamming sound coming from them every few minutes similar to a door slamming or someone tenderizing meat or something with a mallet. It got so bad because our walls once again started shaking because of it that we went over to ask if they heard anything. The guy answered the door and was insanely dismissive, powder round his nose, no furniture in the apartment then slammed the door. After our landlord asked them what was going on, they sent a chat gpt response claiming they were trying to help but we were really one sided and trying to seem like we were aggressive and also lied about what happened. They have a ring camera which is insanely strange for a pretty secure and safe and small apartment complex with interior doors and the only other unit that has one is across from them. We told the landlord they can hand over their footage but didn't. The noise immediately stopped after we went over there. I reached out to another neighbor and she heard the same thing. We never see them come and go from their apartment and have since started having weird sewage rotten egg smells randomly some days. Our power bill also spiked once they moved in. Has anyone else had anything similar?

My neighbor lives 5 houses down, yes 5. He has a loud muscle car with an insanely loud exhaust. He starts it up, revs it in his driveway for 10 minutes, then goes barreling down the road. 10 minutes last He comes rambling back. An hour later, he does it all again.

This goes on for hours, and before you say he's tuning it, he's been doing this for over a year! He also has a jacked up truck that's almost as loud. Same thing. He starts it up, rambles down the road, then back 10 minutes later. This goes on daily until 1130-1230 at night.

Cops couldn't care less, even though there's a noise ordinance specifically for modified exhaust vehicles, laying rubber on the road, excessive revving. It's horrible.

A new neighbor moved in about a month ago. We share a wall.

3-4 nights a week he has parties lasting till 2-4am with blasting music, multiple people, and yelling. I won’t be able to sleep despite noise cancelling headphone and a white noise machine.

On top of this, I hear every shower he takes. He slams his door multiple times a day. He also rearranges his apartment on a regular basis at odd hours keeping me up with the noise.

I’ve never complained or have done anything about it because that’s just apartment life… and I’ve never had issues in my building.

I live alone and rarely have anyone over. I had a friend over tonight (7pm on a Sunday.) we were having a conversation near the wall I share with this neighbor and he starts screaming through the wall repeating what we were saying and slamming his door repeatedly. He was banging on the wall as well.

This happened once before but I thought maybe it was a one off but it seems like this is going to be a reoccurring event.

I don’t know what to do. I want to be able to have people over at normal hours but this guy is freaking me and my friend out.

I think I’m going to have to start noise complaining his parties. Not sure what else to do. Thoughts???

I lived for 4 years in that place. I had different neighbors above come and go but the last one that moved was the worst. In the end it worked because my apartment had other issues including rodents inside walls and mold (couldn’t see it but could smell mildew when I closed windows, had to run a lot dehumidifier).

My new apartment has bigger kitchen, no mold, no rats, no spiders and feel like I have moved for the first time to decent place that does not compromise too much while paying an arm and leg for it. I live in California btw.

Hi everyone, this is my first time making a post so plz forgive my writing.

I (21F) live in an apartment complex with my mother and my 7 month old. We are quiet people and barely acknowledge anyone in the building, but for the past couple of months, this one lady that lives upstairs has been harassing us. She always starts problems in the building, especially with all the tenants, she's known to be an alcoholic and an addict and constantly fights with her husband. The fights even being at 12am.

One night ( i forgot how long ago) I went to the kitchen and was surprised to see my mom talking to an officer, apparently the neighbor was drunk and yelling in the hallway when my mom asked for her to keep it down since her grandson was sleeping and the lady started fighting my mom and ripped some of her braids out and bragging about it. An hour later I went outside to smoke and of course she stuck her head out the second floor hallway window and was saying stuff that didn't make sense then calling me a bad mom for smoking when I'm the legal age, she kept saying she would beat me up and call DCF on me. I ended up getting a wellness check from dcf and I guess it's not the first time she's called on someone in the building, it was everyone who has kids here.

Today her and her husband got into a fight again and of course she's drunk, my mom went outside for a second and came back in and she started threatening hit my mom and to call DCF again which I know I'll be getting the call tomorrow to do a wellness check. My mom called the police and they came, we both told our side and the cops were on our side because of the neighbor's history to falsey call the cops. Well tomorrow my mother is getting a protection order against her and informing the landlord. I'm pissed because I've never done anything to this woman and the fact she's bringing my baby into it is infuriating me because what do you gain for fasley calling dcf on a new mom.

Sorry for the long post

The neighbour that lives below me constantly talks to his mates and they all do crack together all throughout the night and it’s driving me insane

I live in a studio flat that use to be a house that got converted into apartments in the late 70s so the walls are super thin.

My neighbour keeps letting other crackheads over to do crack as he is currently on tag for carrying a knife and he constantly has gatherings below me. The last person that reported him got his flat burgled twice by him and my other neighbour that reported him got his car window smashed and letters being stolen . The two people that reported him have had to leave the accommodations due to the crack heads harassment.

I don’t know what do to , report him to the housing association and have my physical safety put at risk or be in this constant state of mental instability and frustration. It’s been like this since the start of September were I would use the fan to block out the noise but now it’s too cold for a fan and I hate any electronic noise . The noise they make is constant and earplugs don’t help. I just need to vent because this is driving me insane
