Good to know. Reason why my last problem last as long as it did was because I didn't document everything and only dealt with the management verbally. Things started rolling when I wrote them letters. But it was very slow, thanks to the lazy manager. I was hoping to resolve this 'quickly' by...

That is my concern, if I were to do this, I would have to go all the way.. They were jamming again last evening (7ish) for about an hour. This was from the neighbour on the living room side, so bedroom was 'detached' from their unit. But it was still loud enough to be heard inside the room with...

@CITY_LOVER Just cut it open I guess. It's just drywall - I did punch through my bedroom wall, it's empty inside, couldn't see any insulation. @TheKingEast Noise does come from above as well. Left (bedroom), right (living room), above (everywhere). But not everyday. Guess I should be...

Well, in my case, I'd have to find out how much insulation is in the wall first; if it's lacking insulation, fill that in. Then double up the drywall with green glue (simplest). Would be smart in the long run to decouple the wall also. http://www.tmsoundproofing.com/decoupling-explained.html...

Well, it lasted a year but my silent nights are over. New tenants moved in to 3 adjacent units to mine. That's one on each side and above. Before, it was just one on my bedroom side making noise. Now, they all do. I've already filed formal complaint/letter to the management. Having gone through...

Having gone through this, I can safely say that I'll never buy/rent another condo again in my life. It seems these new condos that are going up all suffer from this poor soundproofing - few people at work complain about the same thing in a relatively new condos. Pretzels. I'm sure they...

I did but lacking any evidence, they couldn't do anything. Manager told me that he will advise the patrol guard to pay more attention to my corner of the parking lot. But that still won't be good enough. So I'm looking into getting one of those motion activated cctv cameras. If I catch them in...

Well, months of incessant complaining paid off. Manager finally talked to the board and they approved legal actions. Although there was another delay (almost 2 months from the approval) but the condo lawyers served the unit owner and its tenants with a letter of cease and desist plus an invoice...

To give you an update, I wrote to the manager again, asking for board's contact info and he told me it's against the policy and that he will let the board know of this matter. And it seems there's no law requiring the board members contact info be made public to the owners. WTF is up with the...

Agreed. Used to live in a really old apartment (20+ yrs) before moving into condo. That building was pure concrete. Walls were so freakin' thick you could barely hear anything next door or above unless they opened the window.

I'm in Harbourview, 6+ years old. But then I'm on the lower floor so maybe builder went cheaper route. One night I was so pissed, I was banging on the wall cursing and ended up punching through the wall. Goddammit..

Yeah, it's one of the bigger, corner unit. Big enough for a small family. Previous tenant was a young couple with a newborn. Didn't hear a peep out of them. I've talked to them on 3 occasions, initially. Turns out first 2 times, they sent out their friends who didn't live there. That shows you...

I don't have condo board member contact info. I tried to get it from the management office but they said they are not allowed. Is that a law? And in my opinion, giving notice does not excuse them of this behaviour. I mean is it ok to blast music at 3 in the morning if they give your prior...

Been living in CityPlace for about 6 years. Generally been problem free except for one thing: paper thin walls. If you're a partying type, go away, we got enough of those already. If you're not, then pray you don't end up next to existing partying a-holes.

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread but I have a one helluva case of noise problem. Here's the lowdown: I'm in a condo and a group of 3 young guys moved in next door in July 2011. Started partying into late night from day 1. And this would repeat on every other weekends. When I say late night, I...
