I have a question. I'm sure I know the answer, which is I'll have to suck it up, but I'm going to ask anyways and who knows..
For the past 3 - 4 months, the building directly across from mine (Gloucester street) has been renovating the balconies. It has been a very aggravating project for me and the residents on the south side of my building. It started with endless jackhammering and now there's constantly some kind of drilling, hammering, etc, ALL Day long. It starts at 7 and goes right to 5 sometimes even to 6pm. I kinda have been able to deal with it since it started because all my windows and balcony door have been kept shut, but I would really like to take advantage of the nice weather and get some fresh air in my place. As soon as I open anything, the noise is BRUTAL and there's concrete dust and a disgusting stink from it coming into my place.
I know it's not bad for most people because they are probably in school or work 9-5, but I work afternoon. I go to work when they are finishing and when the start is my "middle of the night".
Is there any kind of law that enables people to do something about it? How is it fare to pay the entire and ridiculous amount of rent I pay when I cant even enjoy my apartment for the better part of the day. The rent is already about 300 dollars to much per month for what this place is and right now, during this construction, I would say it's probably about 600 dollars a month too much. It's like I'm living in an industrial sector right now.
Anyways, thought I'd ask and see what others think. like I said, I'm sure I'll have to suck it up for what it seems like will take then 20 years to finish.
