What do I do? Drunk neighbors

<p>I live in an apartment down the street from my college, and my neighbor across the hall from me is a complete an utter drunk. Every night, he and about five or however many of his friends crammed in the apartment, get drunk, come out into the hall and slam against my door, swing the decorative vases and pictures the complex has in the halls, yell at each other, blast music.</p>

<p>This wouldn't bother me so much if they weren't so violent about it. I've lived in college dorms for two years, I'm used to drunk people, but not those who look like they're ready to attack anyone in their path. These people are also at least in their mid-30s, if not older.</p>

<p>I've been woken up at 3, 4 5 in the morning countless times from their antics but haven't approached them directly because I'm a girl, living alone, and they sound violent and crazy.</p>

<p>I've called the cops (they never showed up), I've contacted the apartment management - they claim they need to hear the noise themselves...except their offices are not open during the drunken antics; I've contacted the concierge but he says all he can do is call their apartment and ask them to stop (which of course, they don't.)</p>

<p>My last choice is to move out, but my lease doesn't expire until next December, and in Manhattan they have this bizarre rule that your salary has to be 40x your monthly rent (i.e. if my apartment is $2,000 a month, I need to make $80,000 a year.) I'm in college and have a barely-paid internship. I got this apartment by a fluke of having an inattentive leasing agent, so moving is out of the question. </p>

<p>Suggestions?</p>

<p>Ya gotta get the cops involved</p>

<p>You called the police but they never showed up? Call them again. And then again. Your tax money pays for their miserable salaries.</p>

<p>There was this old joke about how a man repeatedly called the cops on a burglar, but the cops never came around. The man eventually called the cops one more time and said, "Yeah I'm the man who called earlier about that burglar, but no worries... I "took care" of him."
5 minutes later the cops show up. </p>

<p>You could try something like that...</p>
