I'll keep this as brief as possible. I've been living in an apartment complex with 3 other apartments in the same building for about 6 months. We've never had any problems with any of our neighbors. The kids next to us beat away on their drum set for hours at a time, and the kids above of us blast their dubwomp at full blast all day. Not once have I ever banged on a wall, asked them to keep it down, or called in a noise complaint.
Fast forward to about a week ago. Right around 10:30 pm all the power on my half of the apartment goes off when we're partyin with a few heads at our place. (all the apartments used to be two separate ones, but the owner knocked down the connecting walls in the kitchen so instead of 8 apartments there's 4 with symmetrical sides if that makes sense). At first we thought we'd blown the circuit breaker and just called our property management company to have them send an electrician. Turns out the problem was the switch to our circuit breaker had been turned off outside behind our complex. Only ours...
Now last night around 12:00 am same shit happens. All the power on our half goes off. The other half of my apartment has lights still. First thing I do is check the switch behind the apartment complex, of course only our's is off. I started yelling about how whatever pussy that keeps turning out shit off needs to come forward and just knock on our door. I don't know if it was pure chance, but when I got back to my door, there's one of my upstairs neighbor standing there.
"Hey I'm neighbor A, I'm studying for physics and was wondering if you could keep the music down?"
You mean the music that hadn't been playing for about 10 min while we sorted the circuit breaker shit out? I asked him if he knew anything about the switch (it seemed sketchy that he was complaining about noise that had ended 10 min before...) , and he said it happens to them all the time when they start to blast their music. BULLSHIT. Their shit is constantly bumping.
This little twat has been turning our circuit breaker off before coming to our door to ask us to keep it down. That's fucked up. Especially with the noise they make as well.
So NS is it illegal for them to turn the direct source of power to my apartment off without being a licensed electrician?
SPARKNOTES: My upstairs neighbors turn our circuit breaker off on the outside of the apartment whenever we get noisy. BEFORE asking us to turn our shit down...
