We own & live in a relatively new condo unit in Sonoma County. The community has approximately 300 three story units. We’ve lived since new in 2021 and never had an issue with any of our neighbors. Now we find ourselves dealing with a nuisance tenant family who live opposite us with private roadway which is part the common area dividing the buildings. These tenants from hell have only lived there for 7-8 months. Recently they have installed a basketball hoop which happens to sit below our living room on the 2nd floor on the common property. Two female older children spend 2-3 hours in the afternoon/ evening shooting hoops, dribbling the ball and often invite up to 10 other kids to play. We find the noise to be disruptive & when we asked the kids last tone it down the male parent came to our door and falsely accused us of threatening the children. His accusation was inaccurate, when we denied it he went into a verbal rage, called my wife names & slammed the basketball down in a temper. We contacted Police but never sent an officer. We approached the owner / landlord next day but they were unsympathetic stating that we purchased a condo and you have to put up with some noise and claimed no one else has a problem so you are the problem. I note approximately 6 hoops erected around our community which we believe is a violation of CC&Rs as they are located on common areas without authorization from HOA. Previous management company was useless & rarely responded to issues. We have now written the new HOA & copied the owners a formal complaint letter and sent it today. What kind of recourse do we have available? The disturbing activity occurs almost daily and disrupts our peaceful enjoyment as the ball bouncing can be heard throughout our unit like water torture.
