I have wanted to go up there myself and talk to them right from the start but when I say this building has tight security I mean, I literally can't go up there. We have to use our security cards to get into the building at all, and then on the elevator -- and it only works for our floor and the floor with the pool/gym etc. Even if I managed to ride up with someone else coincidentally going up to the loud neighbor's floor, each floor is divided into two wings and you need to use your security card again to get into a wing. So I can't even go to the other side of my own floor with my security card.

It is impossible to contact them in person. Only this weekend did I confirm their unit # with the concierge and figure out I could send them a letter or a package.

I have thought about fighting fire with fire but then I'd disturb the other good neighbors around me. They don't deserve that.

So we seem to have gotten some new, very rowdy neighbors upstairs from us. We live in a condo building where the units are privately owned, and sometimes privately rented out. The walls are thin -- in the dead of the night, occasionally, I can hear when someone gets up to take a piss. They are that thin. Usually it works out just fine, our neighbors are very quiet and we don't hear anything at all from them for weeks or months at a time. Until the new ones moved in above us.

For the last three Saturdays in a row they've thrown crazy parties. I'm talking foot stomping, hooting and hollering, loud music, sounds like a night club up there. On Sundays they like to have several friends over as well, usually watching some sports game it sounds like. We, along with other neighbors, have been complaining to the building's security/concierge. Last night I had to complain twice before the neighbors finally shut it down around midnight. I can't go up there myself (oh how I've been tempted) cause this building has very tight security and no one can get anywhere past their own "wing" or the common areas. I do know their unit #, though.

I have a toddler and another baby on the way so this is a problem. I hate feeling like a stick in the mud but at this point it is just so disrespectful! They know they're getting all these complaints yet they continue partying every weekend? Once every several months, ok fine. Every weekend -- not cool. They clearly don't give a shit.

I have written a formal complaint, as suggested by security here, to property management. Probably going to give it to them tomorrow. Yet I am wary of what good this will bring. I doubt property management will force them to sell or move out. Security has told me the police can't do much and have suggest our property mgmt handle it.

FP and I are planning on moving across the country in about 18 months, so would rather not find another place to live for the interim.

Anyway, the whole point of this post is that I've gone from fantasizing about writing them a letter giving them a piece of my mind to sending them a package of poo, or something like that. I probably won't do anything at all -- every week I forget all about them until Saturday 11pm comes around again and I am left fuming! But it's cathartic to fantasize and I thought you all might have some great, vengeful ideas.
