There is no REASONABLE level of due diligence that would have caught this before OP moved in. Most places won’t even let you see the actual unit you’re renting before you sign. They’ll show you a model apartment or vacant unit and then a floor plan of just the unit you’re interested in. What management company do you know of that lets you look at the blueprints so you know where the mechanics are in the building or lets you hang out in the exact unit you’ll be renting for hours to see if there are any noise issues before you sign a lease? People would normally know about a bar. Who would even think to ask if the trash room is next door? Even if they did, not every building has a compactor that goes off randomly all day vs. having to just deal with the couple times a week the dumpsters are emptied.
