What can you do when you have a noisy neighbor?

In this article, we explain:

They told you that the Eixample neighborhood was a good neighborhood. A quiet place. Ideal for living with children and easily accessible to different points in the city. But they forgot to tell you that, alongside those great and exceptional advantages, there was a small drawback. No one mentioned that your new community of neighbors had one of the loudest neighbors in the entire city.

What initially seemed like an occasional issue is becoming habitual, causing your life in your home to become difficult. Even knowing that it is good to avoid problems within the neighborhood, from Gumper, we are going to tell you what steps you should take to prevent this situation from leading you to move to another property.

In these situations, the first thing we must do is address the problem directly. To do this, we should approach the neighbor to have a cordial and respectful conversation, to let them know that, due to the noise generated in their home, it makes it difficult for us to feel comfortable in ours.

When, after having spoken directly with the neighbor, they do not stop bothering, the next step is to inform the president of the community. In order to address the problem, the homeowners’ association must meet and discuss the situation. Regardless of whether the affected parties are one or more neighbors, it must ensure that harmonious coexistence prevails in the building.

If after the president of the community has gone to speak on behalf of the entire community, everything remains the same, the intervention of law enforcement can be requested. In this way, the police report will confirm the existence of a disturbing activity, and we will also know if those noises constitute a violation of municipal regulations for a possible lawsuit.

If everything remains the same, we have no choice but to proceed through legal channels and wait for a judge to determine what should be done regarding this issue.
