New guy downstairs is a huge doosh. Advice please.

[prohornblower]

Elaine,
Do you think I should call cops BEFORE alerting management office? I'm pretty sure the office wouldn't appreciate the cops coming onto their premesis without their prior knowledge of a problem. And they own the units, so they have power that I don't. I can't keep fighting these battles alone. Like I said, I may send my lease renewal back with a letter saying "I cannot sign this until doosh (and you guys) are aware that he's a doosh".

phb, this guy sounds like a Katrina refugee. Flood his apartment from above, maybe he'll move again.

If that doesn't work, break a window and threaten him with a knife.

Anyway, do you two live in a vacuum? There have to be other neighbors pissed off about this. Have you talked with the person on the first floor or any of his adjacent neighbors?

I love this line. I will be stealing it to use in other threads.

Offer to go back up to your apt and help him to figure out what an acceptable loudness is so that you can't hear the bass.

I don't want to let this guy into my apartment. He's slightly bigger than me, and younger than me. I'm not one of those types who welcomes people onto their premesis. I'm very private, as would be witnessed in other threads.

You go back up, he stays in his place and manipulates the volume. You yell down and tell him what is OK. That way you end the conflict while maintaining good relations, which is important.

Calling cops or mgmt office is really lame and immature. If you handle problems like a man instead of being passive-agressive then people will respect that and you will get good results.

Park the in the firelane outside your place and torch his house.

L Cubed,

I wish I could take credit for it, but it's from this very entertaining thread.

First of all, I can't just tell him what is appropriate, I mean I hear the stuff at night in my bedroom with earplugs in my ear. He needs to find out what is appropriate.

Secondly, I don't think this dude cares enough to waste time doing this. And if he does, he's too stupid to memorize where his knob is at.

Calling the office is lame? Why? I've asked him 4 times. We get monthly newsletter that always have general complaints on them. It's not like people don't complain.

I need to handle it like a man!? Huh? I've gone down to confront him 3 times! How is that not handling it like a man?! The first time I went down he didnt even open the door, he was scared. He just yelled out in this fake deep voice "WHO IS IT!" and I said "It's upstairs" "WHO!?" "I LIVE UPSTAIRS! TURN THE ALARM CLOCK OFF!!!" No response at all. I go upstairs and alarm is off. He is the one who isn't playing the game right.

You clearly didn't read the OP. This wouldn't help me much since I don't have fire insurance.

But I have gone that route in the thought process. Since he's on the first floor, I thought of always parking directly in front of his bedroom or sunroom window. On nights when his music is on too loud, I will go out, start my car and shine my lights into his window. When he comes out to confront me, I will let him know that my lights are activated by his bass. Maybe that will trigger something.

No, I think that's a bit weird. If it was late, I would call the cops and then talk with the landlord the next day.

take it to the management

I also should point out that the music is on non-stop when he's home. I'm not kidding. It never ends. He never takes an off day. This white boy loves bass music like no other.

I want to own him so bad with my amp. I'd love to see what he says when he comes up to complain.
