After three terms in the
residence halls, some
students can't imagine
a noisier living situation.
Freshman Natalie Caminiti
is looking forward to leaving
the residence halls because she
has been plagued by problems
with noisy neighbors all year.
She said she is optimistic
about her future living situa
tion because she will have
more control in an apartment.
"There are better people to
enforce the rules about noise
complaints and getting kicked
out," she said.
Although apartment living
generally does offer a greater
level of privacy and a lower lev
el of noise than residence hall
life, noisy neighbors can and
neighbors
is crucial
for a livable environment.
Freshman Kristin Ellingson
said her neighbor did not no
tify her before calling the po
lice about a noise disturbance.
"She's never talked to me;
she's never asked me to be qui
et, then she just calls the cops
on me," said Ellingson, who
rents an off-campus apartment
with her boyfriend.
do pop
up any
where.
Knowing
how to j
deal with
these
Ellingson said she had been
crying over the death of her
aunt and was "just really upset
all over" when a police officer
knocked on her door and said
a neighbor had called and
asked that police check on her.
Ellingson took it as a show of
concern but soon found out
from the apartment manage
ment that it had actually been
a complaint.
When she was told her
downstairs neighbor had filed
a formal noise complaint
about the noise made by her
afternoon aerobic workouts
"they said it was the second
time she had complained" and
cited the earlier visit from po
lice, Ellingson said.
Ellingson said she never
thought she was causing any
problems and is upset the
neighbor never discussed the
complaints with her before
taking them to authorities.
She said the complaints
mostly stem from "me doing
aerobics at two o'clock in the af
ternoon ... even the apartment
manager said she seems to be a
little too sensitive to noise."
Ellingson said she plans to
move as soon as the lease is up.
"She could have at least left
a note," Ellingson said, citing
that as the best thing to do
when faced with a noisy neigh
bor. 'People who live in apart
ment complexes have to expect
some noise."

Like Ellingson, freshman
Ian Caputo opted for an
apartment rather than a resi
dence hall room, and though
he said he is happy with his
decision, noisy neighbors are
hardly foreign to him.
He has never had a problem
persistent enough to push him
into action but said he is
"good natured enough so that
what bothers a lot of people
doesn't really bother me."
Caputo said it is best to do
anything possible to avoid
notifying the police of a noisy
neighbor, and if necessary he
would ask his neighbors to
quiet down.
This approach to dealing
with noisy neighbors adheres
to the recommendations of
most prop
erty man
agers, but
Tristan
Brandow,
on-site
manager
of the
Broadway Place
apartments downtown, said
different situations can call for
different courses of action.
Brandow said while in a per
fect world, all noise com
plaints would be settled with
out interference by an outside
party, sometimes it is best to
contact authorities rather than
risk a dangerous situation.
Long Property Manage
ment, the company that owns
the apartment building, has
on-site managers such as
Brandow in every building to
ensure a quality life for ten
ants.
She said although she and
other on-site managers are
there to deal with noise and
other disturbances, tenants
should not hesitate to notify
the police if they feel the situa
tion is beyond their control.
"If it's just really loud and
unruly, feel free to call the
cops," Brandow said, citing
the idea that a large number
of guests and an obvious pres
ence of alcohol can be very in
timidating to someone want
ing to ask the noisemakers to
quiet down.
The apartments Brandow
manages have quiet hours
from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m.,
making noise more problem
atic if it does arise. She stressed
that different companies have
different policies.
"We have on-site manage
ment to take care of (noise
complaints)," Brandow said,
making communication be
tween neighbors thoughtful
but not necessary.
She said not all apartments
have noise policies, making
the need for an open line of
communication between
neighbors greater.
