My upstairs neighbours does (what I think is) construction projects at odd hours of the night. Can HDB help me with the inconvenience?
Context
Some time last year, my neighbours upstairs have been making a lot of noises at odd hours of the night (usually around 1/2am).
At first I thought they were just loud while having ‘relations’ and tried to ignore it when trying to sleep.
A few months later, I started hearing strange noises of chairs being dragged, hammering and drilling, and it hasn’t stopped since.
It usually occurs after midnight when I’m trying to sleep and it’s just so annoying. It usually happens 4-5 times a week.
I tried talking to them, but every time I knock on their door they’re not home (or are ignoring me. LOL.)
I also tried slipping a note under their door but it hasn’t helped. I don’t wanna be a snitch, but can HDB help with this issue? If yes, how?
I’ve been trying to ignore it for a year but I cannot already. I just wanna be able to sleep in peace again
Here are what netizens think
- Gather all the evidence you can and report it to HDB. Unfortunately there have been cases where neighbors from hell just ignore all efforts from authorities and keep going at it for years.
- Are they hawkers? Some hawkers really do work at night.
Otherwise, feedback to HDB about this as it’s illegal to run machines at night. But he prepared for the battle of many months. Need to get video recording of time it happened and such. Whenever you slipped a note, please take photo evidence that they actually received such note at their door about the noise. - nothing u can do. Even if u have all the evidence in the world, the authorities cannot evict them. They could be fined or whatever but they will still be your upstairs neighbour no matter what.
