Just move

Thats not an option. I've only been there a month and do you know how expensive moving is? Crazy how people see this an the solution

I'd invest in earplugs/a sound machine!

If you want that type of privacy, get a single family home…townhouses and apartments come with this type of shit…get off my lawn doesn’t work in Baltimore

Im looking into a good sound machine but im not wearing earplugs in my own home. I mean there are laws and rules about noise and people should be able to enjoy their homes. Not saying they cant play their music but 11 and 12 at night is not acceptable

Sir/maam if i had that type of money clearly i wouldnt choose to live next to asshole people in Baltimore. I could move and it could actually be the same situation. People here dont give a damn and its obvious

Have you tried having a conversation with your neighbors? Start there.

I’ve dealt with this issue before, and currently have a neighbor who comes home late blasting a speaker right outside my window. I politely asked him to turn it down, and he’s been cool since. Still occasional rolls by in the wee hours, so I rock the earplugs and I get much better sleep.

I’ve had more frustrating situations, but you have to temper your expectations to some extent in a city. I’d still love to see people be considerate of others, but…

I've spoken to them twice. Once the guy was sitting outside smoking and i asked him nicely if he could turn it down. He said there was no music playing in his house when clearly my walls were vibrating then he said sorry he would turn it down. The next convo was with the girl who of course ignored me and had an attitude. I believe she is the one doing it. i said after that i would no longer say anything and just contact the rental office. I also have recordings of how loud the music is coming through the walls

I didn't see anyone giving the actual answer

The rest of the posts are because no one thinks anything will change. If somehow this works...buy a lottery ticket.

Thank you

>I would no longer say anything and just contact the rental office

If youre in an apartment complex or something this is absolutely the right next step

Don't pay that dweeb any mind. We all deal with some frustrations of urban living, especially in Baltimore. But asking our neighbors for a little consideration isn't out of line at all. Respecting one another and establishing healthy boundaries is a part of being in a community.

Noise ordinance enforcement, bwahahahahaha

These people signed the lease with rules that they agreed to. I’ll just keep reporting and recording until they get evicted

Whatever happened to respecting neighbors?… So sorry you’re going through that!

Sounds good. Evicting people, especially in Baltimore~the look the other way city, is not Impossible. But, it’s like trying to silence the Baltimore wind chimes that ring out daily and nighty taking the lives of humans all too frequently…not likely to happen.

I advise against confronting them directly. I had a bad situation on my hands 15 years ago when I approached my neighbors. Just anonymously call the cops.

I already did. I rather had confront them first before going to the cops. The cops are a joke here

We will see

People don’t care anymore. Even people who aren’t dealing with stuff like this have no sympathy and it’s obvious from the comments. Thank you

Yes thank you

You didn't mention that you're renting in the original post. Don't call the city, that's a waste of time. Call the landlord, they have plenty of enforcement power and might do something.

Sorry yes I am renting. It’s a townhome and we all have the same rental office/landlord. I’ve sent them an email. They haven’t responded yet but I’m persistent so I’ll keep sending them until something is done

I wish you luck, just speaking from experience. Others may downvote, but I speak an inconvenient truth.

If your rental company won't deal with it, get legal advice. A letter from your lawyer to the company might do the trick- violating your right to "peaceful enjoyment" by not enforcing the noise ordinance in your building, or whatever it says in your lease (I have no idea legally- so get advice).

Also, consider your neighborhood association as well- in some neighborhoods the associations get super involved with repeat noise violations.

Be persistent. Email is a good start because you have something in writing. A record is good. Call as well, and write down the date and time when you do to continue that record.

Will do thank you

That sounds terrible. I would keep escalating to your landlord. Put that fuckin rent in escrow if you need to. I lived in one complex where I could hear every foot step and even conversations above me. It was miserable.

Definitely will. I sent an email on Thursday and no response so they will see me early Monday morning with another complaint. The music just started and I’m sure it won’t stop any time soon because it’s Saturday and they are assholes

None

I just dealt with this. The steps I took were to repeatedly call 911 so that there’s a paper trail. When that didn’t work I got my council member involved. The landlord got cited for quite a few infractions and eventually evicted the tenants. Admittedly my situation was a bit more complicated because it involved other nuisance issues (trash, unsupervised minors, non registered rental, over occupancy).
