I thought I was the only one! I live in a new building in NYC. The new buildings are so flimsy. I can hear the neighbors across the hall talking, and I can tell what they are watching by listening to their tv through my living room walls.

Anyway, the tenant upstairs from me is very inconsiderate. She is 23 and she has three children. She does not care what her kids are doing as long as they leave her alone. The children run up and down, up and down, and it sounds like the jump off the couch and onto the floor. I have knocked on her door to ask her to please be quiet. I have called the landlord and sent letters. I am going to have to get in this tenant's face for her to finally listen. You cannot ask everyone nicely to be considerate. Some people only understand you when you become irate.

To make matters worse, this is a rent stabilized apartment and by law we have the right to an automatic lease renewal. It is very hard to remove a tenant in a rent stabilized apartment.

They do drugs and every night is party night for them. I am at my wits end and can't afford to move. I feel like I have to take matters into my own hands because this is too much.
