Entitled tenant reports landlord to the city after discovering the unit above her is not up to code, resulting in months of construction noise: ‘That move backfired on her mission to get peace and quiet’

Living in a peaceful environment, one where the only noise you hear inside your home is the fridge working, is something we all aspire to have.

Realistically, you can't really avoid noise, even from the comfort of your own home. You will occasionally hear cars driving by outside, your neighbors in the midst of an argument, or a baby crying. But the worst noise of all, the one no one expects and is impossible to avoid, is when construction work is being done somewhere around you.

Waking up one morning to find that your neighbors have decided to renovate their entire home, and you will now be forced to listen to the relentless sound of drilling until it is done, is an actual nightmare for us. So when the entitled neighbor in the story below brought this fate upon herself, we had to share it here.
