Reply to comment by BigMoose9000 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’m all about OP getting their quite hours, but the “never being able to sleep past 7 am” is pretty rich. Apartments also have families with kids who wake up before 7:00 everyday crying. Loud construction can start in DC at 7:00 without any additional permits. 7:00 is the pretty standard end of quite hours. Now, the apartment management needs to play by the same general rule of any neighbor and just try not to be a dick just when quite hours have stopped at 7:00.

It's one thing that noise is permitted after 7, it's another that it's constant immediately at 7 (which would be the case if the compactor has been filling up all night unable to run).
