We’re moving out of our house in early August and into a slightly nicer house (smaller, but better maintained) about 5 or 6 blocks away from where we live now. One of the main reasons for moving is to get away from our neighbors. Among the biggest troublemakers are the college students who live in a small apartment complex behind us.
It is bad enough that they begin partying on Wednesday’s, but lately they’ve been setting off firecrackers as well. We usually call the police, but noise violations are hardly high on their priority list.
Today I called the manager of the apartment complex to complain. He was extremely receptive to my tale of woe, especially how described observing drunken college students lighting fireworks on their wooden balcony. He told me that he’d take care of it, saying that he’d given them warnings about the fireworks, but “today, the hammer comes down.”
Excellent.
