Neighbors Door Slamming

3 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I live in a fairly new apartment building which has poor insulation. My bedroom is beside my neighbors living room and kitchen. For the past couple of months I have been hearing his cabinets, doors, footsteps, and pretty much any thumping noise through the wall. I could even hear him talk.

I knocked on his door to ask him if he could just keep it a bit quiet during quiet hours but nothing seemed to improve.

At last, I decided to move my bed into the living room and my couch into the bedroom so that i am far away from him as possible.

The only problem I have now is that whenever he closes his front door, it is really loud. Like so loud I could hear it through the closed doors and walls in my living room. Sometimes my doors even vibrate. Basically, it’s like I know whenever he is home or not.

Regardless, i wanted to ask if it is an unrealistic expectation to have him close the door gently? I am also going to follow up with my apartment management about this. I just want to know because I dont want to be the neighbor that seems nitpicky.

What are your guys thoughts?

What are residents in NYC Housing Connect units within luxury buildings planning to give the staff for the Christmas holiday season?

Given that these developments have a heavy culture of holiday tipping, what will you be giving the doormen, concierge, and other staff interacted with regularly?

Shopaholic neighbor

A new guy moved into our apartment building some months ago. On a near daily basis, he receives tens of packages that just sit in our lobby for hours or days. At first they were larger packages that seemed to be clothing from Depop and Poshmark, but they have progressively gotten smaller, grown in number, and the name changed from a man’s name to a woman’s name (although we are certain that it is still the same neighbor). He has usually been good about picking up the packages right away, but right now, there are probably literally a hundred small envelopes/packages that have been sitting in our very small lobby for the past 48 hours. It’s both a nuisance and a hazard as the packages litter the foyer area and obstruct the steps/doorway.

He is evidently away, otherwise we would try to address this with him directly. How would you address this? Is there any way we can force him to get a PO Box? And what the hell do you think is going on with all the packages???!!!

Apt hunting Issues with Snappt™️ AI screening process

1 Upvotes

So many people are having issues with it. Has anyone found a work around? I spoke to the managers directly and all throw up their hands and say they have to rely on this AI tool. I downloaded directly from my work website and bank website as requested. I tried emailing the managers my documents directly. My income is like 4x the rent, I have probably 4 years worth of rent in my savings, my FICO score is 750
Please only respond if you have experience with Snappt AI screening

Need advice on moving

Hello all fellow people. My current apartment is in rough shape and my two current male adult roommates do ZERO cleaning and are not concerned with the negative health effects of hidden mold, structural degradation and extreme dust/oil residue buildup.
I live in Boston and the rent is insane. Moving is really the only solution I feel comfortable with.
My rent budget is 1,000 a month, including utilities. What to do in this economy? Any leads or advice welcome!
