Placed an order last week and CookUnity had recommended items for our delivery -- none of which we wanted. No big deal, the platform has done that on our account before and it's pretty easy to replace what they've recommended. So that's what we did (and we did it before the window closed for us to change our cart).

We got our delivery this week and the order was unrecognizable to us and included meals we hated the first time around (the sweet potato with chickpeas) and means that we avoid like the plague whenever we see them in our feed (like the Chicken and Waffles as it's a billion calories).

Even more crazy: CookUnity decided to spend more money on our behalf and inserted premium meals into the mix. It's wild to me that CookUnity's auto-selector can decide to spend more money on your weekly meals without your consent.

Has this happened to anybody else? If it wasn't our first time swapping our CookUnity's recommendations with our own selections, I'd assume some sort of user error on our part -- but we literally did the same thing we did before.

I live in a five unit, three-floor building on the first floor. My apartment in Brooklyn has the thickest walls I've ever experienced in the fourteen years I've been living in the city. Last month, our nextdoor neighbors moved out and the new neighbors have been really noisy. For the first week, I didn't mind the construction sounds as I just assumed they were getting settled in their new place.

But a month later, the hacking and drilling and sawing have continued. It made me wonder if there was woodworking or some other heavy construction happening. (When I first heard it, I thought it was a contractor doing repairs on the unit after the old tenants had moved out.)

The noise shakes our apartment, and has thrown a framed photo off the wall. The noise typically happens anywhere from four to ten hours a day. It typically stops after 10:30PM and has gone as late as 2:30AM. Yesterday, I woke up because they decided to work around 1AM. Both of the tenants on the second floor can hear the noise, while the third floor tenants can't hear anything.

Today, I found out from the super that the new neighbor is a locksmith, which makes some sense (but I'm not sure accounts for all the construction type noises coming from the unit). At first, I thought they were woodworkers or something like that.

It seems to me that this is a violation of section 11 of our lease (a pretty stock lease used in many NYC apartments) which states:

**OBJECTIONABLE CONDUCT**

*As a tenant in the Building, You will not engage in objectionable conduct. Objectionable conduct means behavior which makes or will make the Apartment or the Building less fit to live in for You or other occupants. It also means anything which interferes with the right of others to properly and peacefully enjoy their Apartments, or causes conditions that are dangerous, hazardous, unsanitary and detrimental to other tenants in the Building. Objectionable conduct by You gives Owner the right to end this Lease.*

The rest of the tenants are friendly with each other and on a group chat -- most of us have been in the building for three years. We've tried putting notes under their door inviting them over to say hi (they're "busy") and we tried knocking on the door when they're being loud only but they never answer (presumably because they cannot hear us) -- the general feeling I get is that they're intentionally avoiding us and are probably aware they're a nuisance. They've also largely avoided the other tenants in the building, which makes me think they're aware of what they're doing.

I don't want to start off on the wrong foot and provoke them, so for now I'm going through the landlord and property manager in the hopes they'll be enforcing the above lease clause. My worry is that if we provoke them, they'll be turning the noise up even more.

I'm looking for any sort of advice that could help, particularly from NYC-based apartment dwellers. The late-night calls in particular seem like something he shouldn't be able to do at home if it involves drilling at the apartment (locksmiths in the suburbs have a garage and more space, so should they choose to work from home they aren't disturbing their neighbors).

I think they should be doing this from a studio space in order to be considerate of their neighbors in a city where folks are stacked on top of each other. Folks who practice music or woodwork or any other craft typically rent out a studio space.

Is there something they can do in terms of soundproofing a section of their apartment to keep the noise as confined as possible? Is it reasonable for them to handle late-night locksmith calls outside their apartment so as to protect reasonable habitability for the rest of the building?
