Reply to comment by NPRjunkieDC in My “luxury” apartment buildings trash compactor is next to our apartment, wakes me up all hours of the night, and the building refuses to do anything. What should I do? by CCIRMAJOR26

I will fully support your defense! I've seen so many buildings going up that are, essentially, tissue paper and possibly some duct tape or liquid nails. When we first moved here in 2013, we lived for a short period of time in a new building on H NE and everything about it was terrible--the construction, the management.

Nothing beats plaster for sound-dampening.

What worries me is when people actually buy new construction. In most forms . Houses or condos in burbs same problem
