Question

I have some VERY loud neighbors in an apartment complex, do i contact the police to complain?

Answer 1

It would have to be really bad for the police to care they would probably suggest you talk to your neighbours first, which is probably the best idea.

Answer 2

Contact your managers first, if they cannot be reached file a complaint with the police and then report it to the managers. Good luck.

Answer 3

Loud how - fighting or just big voices?  Maybe they aren't aware you can hear them so clearly and that they are bothering you?  Try telling them that you can hear them and see what their reaction is.  If they don't quiet down, call the manager to report the problem.  You are entitled to quiet enjoyment of your living space.

Answer 4

After 11pm in my area you may call the police to file a complaint.  If it is possible though maybe you could try and speak to them during the day when its not happening.  At night I would just call the cops or super.

Answer 5

after 10pm on weekday yes, 1:00am on weekend yes  

Answer 6

I had neighbors that were loud. The only time I ever contacted the police was about midnight (I had a baby trying to sleep), my husband had to work the next morning, and they had a party going on with so many people up there, that it sent a crack down our wall from the weight. They were out screaming and drinking for over 3 hours. But usually, with the other neighbors, if it was just loud music or yelling, i would go out and ask them as nice as possible, and tell them I had a baby, they were usually really nice about it.  

Answer 7

Yes.  But also contact the other neighbors around them to see if they are annoyed by them also.  If it is only you, then find out if they only make noise when only you will be there to hear them.  

Answer 8

I'd suggest speaking to them about it first. If you call the police without letting your noisy neighbors know, it's probably only going to anger them and make the situation worse. If that doesn't work, perhaps talk to you landlord and see if they'll speak to them about it. If all else fails, call the police. However, this should be a last resort.

Answer 9

I would first try asking them to quiet down, especially if it happens at night.  If this does not work, I would leave a note on their door, asking them over to discuss the issue.  If it still keeps up, I would then notify either the apartment manager, or the police.
