We were apt shopping, great neighborhood, good price, when, on the ceiling, cloppityclop, cloppityclippitycloppitycloppp!!! The owner's demeanor sank, defeated, she explained she had a malicious tap dancer above, who was out to ruin all her efforts to sell her apartment, and could get away with it as he was the coop president!

I can't imagine how many pictures that woman has since she has been banging for days. When I owned my townhouse I had some beautiful pieces of art and I hired a professional to hang them for me on the living room wall over the sofa. It covered a large area but it was done in one day. If I were you I would call management and tell them she is hanging pictures and perhaps they might want to pay her a visit to see exactly what she is doing. I'm glad the problem has been solved so at least you know what the banging is...hope it stops soon.

Days? Try months! She moved in two months ago and has been banging ever since. She is noisy in other ways too. Lots of thumping, like perhaps she's still moving furniture around. I was talking to my daughter last night about this, and she said she ran into two of my neighbors in the hallway last week (one of whom lives on the other side of that apartment), and they told her this woman is very "weird." I do think it was one or both of them who filed the complaint.

Because of the tone of this woman's letter and the fact that she continued to hammer last night (not so far this morning), I don't think this will be the end of it. She will either have to shape up or she will be evicted. As I think I said, the Office Manager here is no one to mess with.

ETA: I said three months in my OP, but in her letter she said she moved here in the beginning of November, so I was wrong on that time period. Time goes very fast for me these days.

She sounds like trouble with a capital T. I'd be more disturbed that she refuses to stop hammering than the hammering, itself. Yikes. Good luck, sounds like she's going to be a handful!

Can you record the hammering?

No, I probably don't have the skills to do that, but it's a moot point because she has already admitted to it, she obviously just doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. When someone has just moved in, these kinds of noises are expected. But two months of it almost every day is just not feasible.

Ford, I wish you luck in this situation.

From my experience when someone is combative and refuses to stop irrational hammering all hours of the day, they are usually nutso. I dealt with it years ago and the only one who can really help you is the building management.

It is very difficult to evict someone if they pay their rent and it can take quite a long time. We had a real crazy above us who hammered day and night and it ended up we moved instead of this nut who caused all the trouble. She was carted away by the police just before we moved. I heard later, she was arrested for drugs but lo and behold years later she is still living there probably driving her other neighbors crazy.

I hope you have a better management team than we did. Good luck! Keep us posted how things are going. I really sympathize because when I lived in an apartment it was very difficult dealing with this woman.

Hi, SR! This building is partially funded by the government just for seniors 62 and over. If she becomes a real menace, I don't think there will be a problem getting her out. I am hoping it will all blow over . . . while also hoping I don't have to run into her very often. Right next door is uncomfortably close! Then again I leave this apartment only with one of my daughters, never alone.

Ford, it sounds like you will be able to get the support you need from management then. I wonder if she has dementia? Whatever the case may be, you are entitled to a safe, quiet home and hopefully this will get resolved quickly!

I was thinking of you on Christmas and hope you had a wonderful day with your family. ${#emotions_dlg.wub}$
