i’m in my 20s and have absolutely no experience with acting, but have always wanted to try. also i model and feel like taking a class would help me be a better model. i live on the west side so looking for classes that are <1 hour drive away.
For context, I moved into this apartment building back in February. I have one roommate but only my bedroom shares a wall with our neighbor. I'm a girl in my 20s, and although I've never met this neighbor face to face I have seen him around the building and know he's a man in his 30s.
Multiple times a week I'm woken up in the middle of the night to hear this guy having obscenely loud sex. I'm talking screaming and slapping and choking sounds for hours on end. The walls are EXTREMELY thin and I can hear everything....I mean everything. I understand that living in an apartment there is expected to be some noise, but this always happens in the middle of the night during quiet hours. I've also been woken up by him fighting with his girlfriend, playing music loudly, or just generally being loud and banging doors. He is so loud that I can hear him through earplugs. I work early mornings and have to be up at 6am, and it's really starting to affect my sleep. He also smokes weed all day every day in his apartment which is a violation of our building's no smoking policy.
I've filed several noise complaints over the months with building management. They told me to try contacting security patrol when it happens. Well I tried that a few times, but when security knocks on this guys door he just doesn't answer and nothing gets resolved. So I met with the building manager again 3 days ago and told her that this is really affecting my sleep quality and that this guy does not seem to have any respect for the building rules. The manager told me she would speak directly with him and tell him that he has 48 hours to "fix himself" and that she would follow up with me. That evening, I heard the guy and his girlfriend in the hallway and they tried to open my front door?? Luckily it was locked but that scared me a little. And surprise surprise the noise has not improved at all. And the manager never followed up with me. So I'm at a loss for what to do.
I know most people will probably say to just move, but I would love to not have to resort to that because I have lived here for less than 6 months and don't exactly have the funds to just up and move again. I've started documenting everything and taking videos of the noise, but what are my options here? Is management obligated to do anything? Pls give me your advice because I'm so sleep deprived and literally losing my mind.
