I had a neighbor here in Los Angeles who was a HUGE black guy and he was the most horrible human being I have EVER known...no exaggeration, there was not one single redeeming thing about this walking turd!

He would play his hip hop "music"/noise with so much base that it shook the entire apartment building. I posted a very polite note on the mailbox explaining that some people who are new to California might not realize that most apartment building are made with wooden frames because of earthquakes.

I went on to explain that it was not so much the volume level but the base that transmitted the energy into the walls and in turn to the wooden structure which caused the vibration. I kid you not...the walls of our entire apartment shook and picture on the walls moved...the stove would shake, we actually had to leave the apartment for hours at at time.

I did not call him out but simply posted the note stating that since we all have to share the environment that we all should have some consideration for other neighbors.

Later the note was gone and I overheard him laughing about it to a friend (they were talking so loud I could hear them) and he said he didn't care...and sure enough the next day it was as loud as the day before.

I called the landlord and they contacted him. For a few days the level was down but only a few days...the right back up! His "music" contained nothing the word "hahahahahaha" over and over with a few phrases about "fucking whores in the ass" thrown in and worse. This was played so loud you could hear it clearly a few hundred feet away in the street.

There are families with many young kids living within clear hearing distance as this is very dense (West Hollywood has a huge population all within a very tiny area within L.A.). I actually recorded the "music" that I could clearly hear from inside my apartment.

I posted the wave files online and emailed the links to the landlord. I told him that really didn't think that it was fair not only to the tenants in HIS building BUT also in the 4 other building to have their kids exposed to such filth when they played outside. The landlord finally got him to give him a month's notice and when he finally was gone things have been quite since!

I forgot to mention the countless times the police were called when he as his girlfriend would fight! I never called them myself. I didn't need to as they were so loud anyone in the surrounding building could hear them clearly screaming obscenities at each other! It was to the point that it was weekly. Just incredible. As I said, this person was repugnant in every way and with his anger issues, clearly dangerous.

I actually suspected him of selling meth out of the apartment after hearing many of his conversation on the phone...he was always loud and would have screaming matches with someone on the phone pretty much several times a day and it was pretty clear what the topic was. So we feared physical repercussion if we confronted him.

I can tell you that EVERYONE is glad that he was finally gone. I know because I have talked to quite a few neighbor about it after the fact (I have lived in this building going on 3 years) so I pretty much know everyone around.
