Some homeowners who lost their homes and are now in apartments are considerate of others bred of years of reminding our OWN family members of the noise upstairs, outside windows, etc.

I am absolutely appalled at the behaviors of the white trash in one unit in our small, atrium townhome-style apts. Their toddler screams - and I'm talkin' blood-curtling, shrill, urgent screeches - sometimes for as long as 3 hours straight. It freaks me out! I can't find any info online about reporting people for having crying/screaming kids. There is an onsite manager, but I don't want to seem like Gladys Kravitz from Bewitched, being nosy or a nuisance.

Why not report them? I also don't know if it's the terrible threes or bad parenting, but it really disturbs me.

I work on the laptop in my bedroom, and the window opens to a common atrium area shared with the other units, where all entry doors, and livingroom and bedroom windows face. Anyone entering or exiting can be heard by all bedrooms, even with their windows closed...if that makes sense?

In addition to the disturbing screaming fits, both parents are noisy when they come home or leave in the late evening/early morning hours. Talking, laughing, shouting upstairs to the other, stomping on the exit stairs, etc. Just plain rude.

He also plays loud rap/rhythmic music every evening, about which I did complain to the manager (at midnight last week) and now I haven't heard the music in a week. I expect it will start up soon...

The "gentleman" also talks on the cellphone in full voice in the common area (their friends do this, too, when attending the numerous gatherings they have at their apartment). Again, nothing terrible, but just rude.

They and their friends smoke outside on both the walkway and their patio, and leave the butts all over the landscaping and parking lot areas. Just "puff and then flick." I smoke regularly, but I don't prefer to live in a place that so closely resembles skid row because of all the ciggy butts.

And worst of all, they leave bags of garbage, including soiled baby diapers, outside their front door for a day or two before throwing away...too lazy to walk it downstairs a flight of stairs and walk 50' to the garbage bins. Garbage attracts rodents, and there are disposable diapers in there...eeeeeuuuuuw.

Any advice or co-misery is welcome.

Thanks,
