"I recently bought a first-floor condo because I am an older woman with a knee disability. Otherwise, I would have purchased a unit on the second floor of this two-story condo complex. I am only here part time, because my husband is not ready for retirement. The owner above me has two children who jump off the kitchen counter onto the floor multiple times a night as late as 10 p.m. It causes everything in my kitchen cabinets to rattle."
"I would knock on the woman's door, explain the problem and politely ask her to instruct her children not to jump off the kitchen counter after 6 p.m. because the crashing noise prevents me from enjoying my apartment. If she didn't cooperate, I'd have another talk with the manager. If the warnings and fines didn't work, I'd contact Child Protective Services, because what those kids are doing is dangerous and their parent is unwilling to supervise them."
A first-floor condo owner with a knee disability experiences nightly noise from upstairs children jumping off kitchen counters, causing cabinet rattling and disturbance as late as 10 p.m. The resident lives there part time and fears retaliation such as vandalism if official violations are pursued, though the property manager is willing to issue notices and fines. The new neighbors were introduced but were unresponsive. Recommended steps include politely confronting the parent to request quiet after 6 p.m., pursuing manager enforcement if needed, and contacting Child Protective Services if the children's safety appears at risk.
