Disturbing Neighbour Problems: Noise and Weed
 
To be precise, upper floor.

I'm living in a condo, and the unit right above mine is a constant disturbance. They seem to jump around quite often, enough to shake walls and all my lamps; they turn up their bass while watching movie still after midnight; there was a time that they were smoking pot too (I smell it). I'm going to have to knock on their door and talk to them, but I will bring along the building manager as witness. Can I call cops on them if they smoke pot too?

My building manager said call the cops as for most disturbances (noise, etc) the strata can't really do anything about.. except after enough complaints from different people, they can be evicted.

The noise is one thing but smoking pot really??? Do you hate pot smokers???
Since they are the upstairs neighbours you really should be getting the less of the smell... Smoke rises.. But understandable if it seeps into your suite...
I would just give them a heads up without the manager.. Because honestly you have to live under those people everyday and if you piss them off theres no idea what can happen. Also you never know you might make friends with your neighbour..... Ive never lived in a condo, but my sister just recently moved in, honestly first impressions are hilarious.. Some people are complete douches and some are really nice... So far I have only met asian girls w/ their toy poodles, that are complete snobs....

what if they have a legit reason to be smoking pot? like medical marijuana haha

Doesn't matter, most buildings have no smoking policies, cigs, pipes, whatever.. it's gotta be done outdoors.

Yeah the guys that lived beneath me found out what happens when you respond like a douche to neighbor complaints.

They got evicted.

What does the time of year have to do with anything. Is it supposed to be less annoying in winter?

tool001 08-13-2009 04:05 PM

fridays and sats are ok, if this happens every day, then u should call cops, no noise after 11,

asian_speedster 08-13-2009 05:38 PM

you should just be grateful that its not a small aluminum pan in the wind...

but definitely try and get them on the late night noise to the strata

According to some idiots in this thread: http://www.revscene.net/forums/outdo...p-t585684.html you shouldn't be a snitch.

murd0c 08-13-2009 06:55 PM

start smoking cuban cigars

Gridlock 08-13-2009 08:33 PM

My girlfriend called the police on the pot smokers below her condo. She neverhad a problem after they showed up an hour after her call.

Call the non-emerg number and try it.

I know, pot is god on this board, but for those non-believers out there, the stink is incredible, and we don't want to live in your hotbox.

Same reason why I won't call the cops if my neighbor is getting robbed by the poor souls who need $$$ to feed their addictions.

I can see that your obviously new to RS and clearly your a dumbass. (BTW we don't need anymore here on RS.) What I meant was that summer is a time to relax, sit back, and smoke some weed... Maybe next time fuckface. :thumbsup:

Not really. It affects all of us indirectly. We bitch about all the crime in our society. Well, that's because we don't see the big picture. If grow ops were just managed by average Joe, no problem. But, pot grow ops are often tied to organized crime. Most people know the stuff is pretty harmless and not really addictive or that harmful, but because it is illegal still, it is big business for organized crime. The money from pot sales fund other illegal activity.

I wish the government would legalize it and at least get tax money out of it. Why let pot sales fund illegal activity when you can............

Olympics, transit, whatever would be taken care of.

Hmm... are you sure that's the case for "most" apartment buildings?

asian_XL 08-13-2009 09:46 PM

This will stop the noise for awhile.

there was this chinese lady who loves to chat on the phone until 2-3am right
above my buddy's suite. We could hear every single word she said when we
were at his patio or inside the suite. Also my buddy complained about her
son's cigarette butts all over his place. There are few things we prepared...

a camcorder, a loudspeaker, the cigarette butts, a warning letter, more than
one friends who pretend to be other neighbours, and the property manager if
he's willing to join.

It is wise to call the non-emergency cops in advance. We knocked her door,
she didn't answer. The property manager banged the door, she said "I DUN
NO YOU, GO AWAY!" Then we pulled out a loudspeaker and read out our
warning in Chinese and said the police is coming. Yeah, it wasn't pretty,
almost everyone in the entire building walked out to see. She came out at
the end, and was fined $100 by the strata.

War's over. She moved out after 6-7 months

Yes, most 'new' apartment buildings are non-smoking, as it increases the life of the building.

You can't expect complete silence. You live in a freaking condo. Welcome to living in the city. If you took down the walls, your neighbour is 20ft away. You honestly expect not to be able to hear them? There is nothing wrong with watching a movie after midnight. They pay to live there just as much as you do and they are free to watch tv at any time they choose. You can call the cops about the pot but they aren't going to do much about it as the person is in their own home.

If you want silence...buy a house.
