It is third at night and hear drilling. People got a “renovation in a short”

In many Warsaw blocks, the sound of a drill is something that you just have to get used to. The neighbors are finishing the renovation over us, and under us are just starting. Someone sells a flat, someone else rents to new tenants – Each new resident must mark his presence with new holes in the walls.

– In my childhood I had such neighbors who renovated the apartment every year for several months. Then they went on vacation and there was peace. As soon as they returned, the drill was moving again. They drilled all the time. When they moved out, the whole cage felt relief – recalls Ola. After a while he jokes: “I suspect that they ended with empty places in the walls, so they went to drill somewhere else.”

Renovations in blocks and troublesome neighbors

Celebrating the absence of bothersome neighbors ended quite quickly. Just after them came new ones – with a new renovation. General. Wall balls and turned everything upside down. – After finishing the renovation, they lived a year or two and moved out – shrugs the resident of the capital.

Tenants who moved in opposite Magda are – he says – fans of night work. – They drove recently at 3:00 am. The next day the situation repeated at midnight. AND My husband had to get up to work at 4:30. Then his colleagues asked him if his son’s colic returned because you can see a sleepless night – says. As he points out, apart from the sounds, there are other annoying issues at the Szeregowców estate during the finishes, e.g. all “post -renovation” garbage. Cartons of neighbors put as far as possible from their doors – almost on our “property”, they are often unsecured, so they fly around the entire estate.

– Even now, when we talk, someone knocks with a hammer – notes Alicja. He thinks that from the beginning of the pandemic People in her block got a “renovation rage”. – In the previous block there were two renovations in apartments and as a third renovation of balconies. We moved two and a half years ago. In this block of flats, someone still drills something, knocking something, etc. Also after 22. Once I even wanted to locate the source and pay attention, but unfortunately the block has 15 floors and I failed – he says.

In addition, he has a neighbor who admits that he does not like extension cords, so when his wife leaves, he quietly earns his sockets. – He is not an electrician and I wonder when it will all light it – sighs.

“They listened to disco polo every day”

Martyna lives in a block from a large album from the early 1980s. In her history, it was not the neighbors who were a problem, but the workers employed by the cooperative. – They renovated the staircase. At first I was very happy, but then the problem arose. The members of the team brought a large speaker every day, which they placed on the cage. And no, it wasn’t listening to the radio to make your time more pleasant, but a concert on half a block. Unfortunately, the gentlemen liked to disco polo – he says.

One day during remote work and conversations with superiors She heard that there is a loud from behind the door “I am only an ordinary player and I am very bad in my life!”. It turned out that the gentlemen had already entered this stage, where they not only listened, but also sang with their favorite performers. – After a business conversation, I went out into the corridor and politely asked them to stop because I work remotely and the boss asks where I was – he says.

What to do when we are disturbed by renovation?

At the beginning, it’s best to talk to the renovation team or a neighbor who renovates the premises on your own and explain that noise prevents us from resting. In most cases, it solves the problem. However, if the dialogue is not effective, we have the right to lodge a complaint to the administration of the building, which will make an official letter to a bothersome tenant. In the case of drilling and noise at night, we can ask the police to intervene. What relationships do you have with your neighbors? We invite you to participate in the poll and commenting.
