stupid neighbor's dog need advice

Drama · Feb 13, 2007

So I live in a condo building downtown that it quiet and has good sound insulation. I have lived in the same unit for over two years and only heard my neighbors a couple time. I just got a new guy in next door around 25 years old and for some reason he has a little **** dog. Like a terrier. that thing won't shut up. I can hear it yapping through the walls all day long.

I didn't notice it until last Thursday so I'm hoping that he may be babysitting the dog. I complained politely to him once and going to give it another week, but what grounds for action do I have here? My condo building does allow dogs. Also there is a good chance he's just renting the unit.

record barking.
burn it to cd.
put disk in stereo.
put speakers against wall.
play all night into his condo.
stay at girlfriend's place.

I'm sure there is some recourse to take with the association. I would talk to the guy one more time and ask and then if still happens go to the association.

cut up and stuff a brick of velveeta under his door, along w/ a cooked up pack of jimmy dean sausage.

At the very least the payback will be worth it when it shits everywhere

Buy a muzzel then go next door with golf club in hand and muzzle in other. Hand him the muzzle and walk away, don't say a thing.

Well get a bigger dog than his and use his for a snack for your dog.

First, talk to him about it in a nice neighborly way. Ask him if there is anything he can do about it. Do not confront in a hostile way.

Next, begin taking notes of all instances. Times, dates, durations. Include details of all communication with unit.

Re-read condo declaration, bylaws, and rules and regs. Know them better than the board (pretty easy to do).

If it keeps up, send a letter of concern to mgmt co and another to board via certified mail (include detailed notes of instances).

Attend next board meeting and voice concerns. Attend as may future meetings as possible voicing concerns.

If this fails run for the board and have it your way.

BTW, it doesn't matter (legally in IL) that they are renting. The unit occupants have the same rights as you with 2 exceptions, they can't vote and they can't sit on the board.

Buy some gun noise cancelling earphones and sleep well. I did this on fishing trips where one of my buddies snored like a growling African lion, it kept out all of the noise. Also works when the little miss is trying to nag the hell out of you.

just remember..its not the dogs fault

dnova · Feb 13, 2007

Broccoli gives most dogs gas like you wouldn't believe!!! Buy a bunch and just start stuffing it under the door, he'll get rid of the dog. That or call the Dog Wisperer.

You think that's bad, my neighbor plays the tuba AND he's the board president. Top it off he's an @sshole to boot.

That is why i'm scared of buying a condo

YZFRob · Feb 14, 2007

Really why do people buy condos? Wanna live in an apartment building, just rent.

Or is it people are just to lazy to do their own yardwork?

KBOlsen · Feb 14, 2007

I am a princess and neither shovel nor do yard work. Well worth the $60/month.
