I wish supers and management would nip inconsiderate neighbors in the butt.
Police wont respond to noise issues.
Already happening; some of these insufferable fools are getting more brazen with the reduced police presence+boredom.

Who needs a hit man? Years ago all you had to do is watch out for grandma and her broom stick.
She could chase anybody that was trouble away with one felled swoop................

I remember this story. I would never get put on a jury for this kind of thing because I completely sympathize.

Noisy neighbors will drive you to the edge of your sanity, but complaints are not taken seriously.

Police don't do anything and landlords uptown often do not do anything until you start sending them certified mail.

I am so happy that during this quarantine the apartment back to back with my bedroom has been vacant, and im in heaven.....the old tenants moved to a smaller apartment in our building, they were going to renovate, then this......


but in the meantime, my bedroom is like silent heaven.....no footsteps, no banging, nothing but nothing.....i say though in 6 months, this will all be a memory******sigh******

I have no idea. Annoy them? I saw my paternal grandmother do it once. I was in my teens and she lived in an apartment building in Queens. She must have been in her 70s. She had a thing against the people down stairs, and they did with her. I am not sure what started that. Just that she was always going to 'show them" after some real or imagined slight or injustice. It was a building full of aging widows.

A bunch of grey haired "Mean Girl". She was once upset because a woman next door always "cooking smelly food when she had guests". Another she was convinced stole her newspaper and a third "made eyes at your grandfather at a New Years Eve party". Another was very "jealous of me because my granddaughter is going to be a woman lawyer". ( that would be about my cousin) Another spoke a foreign language when she walked past her that my grandmother didn't understand and was a "probable witch" So that annoyed her. Then there were "the holy rollers" who wore long dresses and buns "like it was 1920".
Another complained because my grandmother cleaned her hard wood floors with something called Fel;s Nathpa (sp) It had a smell to it and was supposedly explosive.

LOL! When I was a kid I used to throw eggs out the window to any loud gangsta group hanging outside playing their boombox. Surprisingly, it worked. They would simply move over to the next building

My mother would have gave me the business for wasting eggs
