I left this on the management company's website under Contact Us:
I usually contact my management team here at [Apartment Complex Name] in [City] and that requires a long letter, as I work the same hours they do. I have no desire to hand-write one and push it through their door yet again so I am putting this here.
This morning at 4:30 am I was awoken out of a dead sleep by music. In fact, after becoming coherent I realized I was dreaming about what I was hearing. Now this is a fairly noisy neighborhood between the factory down the street and the less-than-desirable complexes in the immediate area. My first reaction was to open my window to determine if it was coming from one of those, as I didn't wan to blame any actual neighbors. I walked to and from the window to check. No, it seemed to be coming from the southwest part of the building. Not wanting to assume anything, I put on my coat and in my exhausted state walked entirely around the building to see/hear where it was coming from. The only lighted apartment beside mine was 16 on the northeast side. I walked upstairs and put my ear to the door of the apartment that is connected to me diagonally and I did hear a lot of people. I couldn't hear loud music, but possibly music. It may or may not have been that unit. I just don't know. But I do know that by and large over the NINE years I've been here people have not respected quiet hours so I would not put this past most of these tenants. It's common, but it's not right.
I did call the [Town] Police's non-emergency line but of course it was closed. Yes, I have the number programmed into my phone because I have to call several times a year. I really like my apartment: the layout, the decor, the storage, the view, the price. [management team] are great, too. I don't actually want to leave. I would just like to be able to sleep through until 7:00 am. I want to be able to hear myself think after 10:00 pm. I'd like to hear doors closed rather than slammed (something else that sometimes happens at 4:30 am). In fact, what is it about 4:30 am?? I've often woken up around that time which causes a night terror. Do you know what that is? It's a literal panic attack in one's sleep. It's not all in one's head; there are physical, terrifying symptoms. I suspect if there weren't slamming doors and loud music at that time then night terrors would be largely preventable.
I can only come to the conclusion that jobless insomniacs are attracted to this place? I've been close to jobless myself at times but I always respected others' need to sleep. It's just common courtesy, which is not common anymore. I really wish I could say definitively which apartment it was, but I just can't. I just needed to be heard. I needed to be heard over the noise reverberating through the thin walls here.
