I don't live in Co-op City, but my sister does. She has been complaining about her upstairs neighbors jumping, slamming, pounding, sawing, cutting, grinding, stomping, etc. all day and night. She has had two different families living in that apartment doing the same exact thing. My sister has had anxiety attacks and due to lack of sleep, her health is being affected big time. Her daughter is not doing well either. She has school and my sister has work. Neither of them can function to their utmost
...potential due to lack of sleep and stress this situation has been causing them.
There have been recordings of the noise and multiple calls to the police for disturbing the peace. My sister has gone through all legal channels to get this situation amended, but to no avail. Management treats her like she is the culprit and her neighbors the victims. During hearings, she feels like all the people of the opposing party are discriminating against her and look at her with unpleasant looks.
I understand that if she moves she should have to fork 3 month's rent, which is ridiculous. And, on top of that, she has to give up her equity? We would have to read the contract carefully and get lawyers involved.
This situation has to be corrected for everybody's sake. My sister cannot continue to live in unsatisfying conditions in a place that she pays for and has not been late or missed any payments. I will be consulting various entities to find out what her next step should be.
