Or just as shitty of a predicament? I first brought this upstairs tenant to the attention of the HOA back in may this year, you all may recall my previous posts. Since then, there’s been two incidents where noise took place late at night. When I first reached out to the HOA, they went off police reports. This time around, I provided recordings. When I first spoke with the HOA, they said that either a recording or report would work. This time, they said reports are ideal because they provide physical evidence with time stamp etc, but they’ll consider the recording I provided from 2:30 AM.
I asked if the HOA spoke with the tenant directly because she rents and usually they work with the owner. But he said that’s normally the case but because the HOA /leasing office is on the complex, they communicate with the tenant and owner. He said that they already issued a warning, and the tenant came in to plea her case. Saying that she isn’t loud but the HOA manager told her that the police report states otherwise. And he said my last police report was sufficient enough, even though an officer implied on the report that he didn’t hear anything when he was standing outside her place (I had the head officer update the notes).
He’s saying that now they’re going to charge her $100 and she has the option to attend the hearing. I asked if it’s likely they’ll drop the charge and he said it’s possible but not likely. If it’s not paid, it will accrue late fees and they can put a lien on the property. I keep telling him I’m doubtful of the process based on feedback I’ve gotten from someone on the board and another person that works for the city. He said once she pays, the committee makes a decision and then it’s considered resolved and would start from the beginning. So warning, fee then hearing etc. Fee is $100 per day but because the complaints are not constant, it would be $100 each time.
I have someone I know dealing with a noisy neighbor in a leasing complex and he’s complained so much nothings changed. Not sure if he’s mentioned fees though, that’s why I’m doubtful they’ll resolve mine. The HOA mgr said that he thinks I’m sensitive to sound and suggests that I insulate my place, on top of them “resolving” the issue with this tenant.
