My neighbor launched a lawsuit naming me and my association as defendants, the suit is based on noise from my garage. This is a condo/Townhome and we are attached. The short story is she hired the biggest law firm who enlisted a sound specialist to study the noise. This was a huge dog and pony show in there there sound specialist had recorded 3 weeks of sounds, in short my garage is now off limits to anything but parking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I suspect she put out between 5 and 7 thousand dollars to whip this together.
P.S. Its not over till the fat lady sings, however I wont spend a cent on lawyers.. The noises that made the cut were all from making parts, cutting, grinding and hammering. I'll just have to make the parts somewhere else, however I wont stop tinkering and didn't spend a cent. This brat is gearing up to do a sound study based on household noise, she says we wake her up every night, so I suspect there will be a round two.. I would guess its going to be a much harder sell for her to get traction with this issue.. I hate condos x infinity but its made me 500K in the last 10 years but will be replaced by a farmhouse home in Washington state some time soon.. |

I have a friends who is kept up a few nights a week by barking dogs. The police won't do anything, the owners won't do anything and the final result is they just have to 'deal with it'. They're now thinking of selling their house just to get away from this dog. So in their case, it sure would be nice to have someone take action.
But on the other hand, any set of rules is only as good as the person enforcing them. If I were in your situation, I would try to negotiate with the person. They have rights to quiet, but you have rights to make noise. It seems like a 'curfew' is an obvious solution, perhaps soundproofing your garage would be a good idea too. If it's bugging her, chances are it's bugging other people too who don't speak up. |
