Noisy Fighting Neighbors - What should I do?

you should not ignore the situation like that. I know its quite hard to live in a same building but if you hear again i suggest you to call 911 if something went wrong, specially with that grandma than you might not able to forgive yourself for not calling the cops.

It sounds as if it is getting bad, I would be calling the police and getting them involved if in fact domestic violence is coming into play. In my opinion, it would also help possibly in getting them to quiet down some. Cause they are also disturbing the peace with them being loud. I have been through many situations of neighbors in apartments being loud and usually it just took one call to the authorities to get them to quiet down.

We went thru this when we lived in our old apartment. We also could hear everything they did (LITERALLY). They fought something awful. I made it a point one time (they would sit outside during the summer to smoke) to laughingly tell them that I could hear everything they did. She had no idea! Imagine her surprise when I had hinted (we had talked to them before, though not quite friends) I could hear what they were doing in their bedroom since ours was below theirs. Every squeak of the mattress was heard. Have you told them you can hear them? You don't have to wait until it's a problem, and are better off not waiting. Laugh about it, but make sure that they know. Did they stop fighting? No. We called the police at least once a month. They always got physical and since my husband was out to sea most of the time, there was no way I would take on her husband (much bigger than me). The police showed up and defused the situation, even though it happened often. It kept someone from getting seriously hurt. I made it no secret that it was usually me that was calling the police, however a few times the other two people in our building had to call, like once when we were on vacation, but the police won't tell them who called. Would it be obvious that it was you? Sometimes one call is all it takes, especially if you live in an apartment complex and you can talk to management about it. I told ours, but they never did anything but talk to them. Good luck. It's a shame that you have to live with that. I can't believe the Grandma is putting up with that.

I would just be concerned of endangering yourselves. However,I would not hesitate to call 911 and reporte a domoestic desturbance(sorry my spelling isn't all that great). While living in an apartment at one point we called the police twice on the neighbors that lived above us because the couple had been fighting for over 45 minutes,all while a baby was crying all this time. I had heard enough and called 911 and they came right out. You don't have to give your name and the police will not tell your neighbors who called. Good Luck and I hoped this helps.
