“PA speakers blaring … absolutely insanely loud music ’til 4:00 a.m. multiple nights of the week. Both myself and my partner have slept on the hardwood floor in the living-room so we can close the doors to the bedroom on that side of the apartment. I’m unable to offer a room to visiting friends or family, as this happens too frequently for me to trust they could [sleep in] peace. …

I truly wish I could get out of my living situation. I pay an incredible amount of money to live in my apartment, and the noise is absolutely unbearable. I feel trapped and helpless.”
