I think just 1 floor higher than us that residenter always smoke at the balcony. Many ash fallen to my house (balcony side). All my clothes dry by the sun at balcony get dirty liao... Can I just press their door bell ask them not to smoke there? My baby's clothes all get dirty, how? My MIL want to use one of the common room to dry those clothes there, but my maid coming in soon. This is not the way to solve the problem. Or can we let the CC ppl know about this? |

I called town council pple and they went upstair to ask. My upstair and the above all claims they dun hv anyone who smoke. So town council just tell them not to do it cos got pple complain. Nowadays less liao and i try to remember to close the kitchen window every nite. |

The only we did was keep complaining... We used to stay in the 2nd last floor. Our inconsiderate neighbour's kids (3 boys) from upstairs kept throwing stuff down such as chicken rice's chilli, sauce, seeds from fruits... They think it's funny! How incorrigible! My mom, sis, bro-in-law and I kept going up to complain. Their mother kept saying it's not them, we showed her the proof and the best is if it's not them, then who? Ghost? After a few months, they kind of stop the nuisance. Some things need to insist on...
My husband's case even more fantastic. He used to keep 2 cats but his irritating neighbour's maid from upstairs kept throwing food to his balcony to feed his cats until one of them jumped to catch the food she threw and eventually plunged to it's death. Poor cat! His landlord immediately shot their neighbour a lawyer's letter and everything stopped. |

Actually I have similar incident which happen to my neighbour. Her neighbour who stay above her like to smoke by the window and throw the ashes, sometime even worse, throw the cigarette butt which is still lighted. Imagine if no one at home, the consequences will be disastrous
She complains to the town council and she meet up with the MP too, all these stop for a while and continue again.
And guess what, the house above her was on fire recently, not sure if due to cigarette butt as some people can actually fall asleep while smoking.
I have neighbour who like to throw newspapers. |

my next door neighbour denied sweeping ashes over at our doorstep, and blame it on another neighbour who lived almost 3 doors away from us when we confront them. We have ashes all over our front door. Sigh, really dislike my next door neighbour. |

How terrible. How inconsiderate.
I got the solution. relocate to top floor. Then you only need to worry about the pigeon poo. |

hi Ms Tan,
So you busy cleaning pigeon crap?
This thread reminds me of a real story that occured to me when i first moved to singapore. I was staying in HDB 3 room flat and one day i heard a knock on the door. When I answered it's a singaporean lady. But english not so good, and I don't speak mandarin. So I had no idea what she want. She then just went into the apartment and went to kitchen. It turns out she hanging laundry and one of her underwear dropped onto my window sill. I understand once she took back. For a second there I thought i was going to experience a male fantasy of strange lady comes to your doorstep and get kinky. ha ha. But the reality was much less dramatic. |

I'm also having this problem now... Discuss wiv hubby and agreed to monitor the situation till end of the week.... by next week if did not stop then hubby would went up to talk nicely... If talk nicely still does not work then may have to resort to town council which I doubt will be working ....
Another problem which I am facing is an irresponsible neighbour who likes to hang wet laundry outside and the water falling like rain ... the part which makes me angry is my laundry is almost dry n end up became wet again because of the above neighbours ... the amazing thing is everytime we knock on their door, noone answered even though we could hear music and ect from inside ..... |

sharing my experience
1) double confirmed that the ashes come from your above floor.
2) If is a Malay family, go make a visit during Hari Raya.
3) Get them a gift and wish them Happy New Year.
4) Get to know them and slowly explain your problem.
It work for me.
I used to feedback (complain la) to T/C , HDB / AVA / NEA / SPF about noise pollution and all the agencies people came and talk to me and even talk to above party too. (they know who complained)
But now thing are fine and I even help carry the grandpa bicycle up to his floor before.
Anybody here get sick of the morning "air horn" noise make by those Kurang Guni man ?
Now a day many PRC guy and after months of feedback it finally work.
(still a handfull during weekend but they start late around 10.30am " previous was 9am siao) time |

Talk about inconsiderate neighbours..
I'm staying on the 2nd floor and I have noticed that my 'corner' neighbour had been getting rid of their garbage by throwing their trash bag out of their kitchen window straight down to the dumpster below. This happens almost every night and usually around midnight, i suppose when no one is around. Initially, i thought someone had jumped down from above! duh.. Its getting on my nerve as it can be quite alarming to hear loud broken glasses in the middle of the nite. If I complaint to TC, I wonder if this can be classified as 'killer litter'...or trash |

I've experienced neighbours upstairs throwing FOOD down the kitchen window. Can you imagine my painstakingly washed clothes all soiled and have to re-wash again? I was soooo pissed and immediately went up to tell the parents (coz i suspect its the kids doing it).
For a period of time, it stopped. But now, as and when there will be some phelgm or something. Dun think its the same household that do it. Staying in high rise buildings ahh...we have to tolerate these kinda behaviours one. Best is to stay landed. Then the only "thing" to look out is the BIRDS....Haha |

Wah lau, I shouted at her u should watch b4 u washed the windows, how many times have u washed them in a hot sunny day, who are u, are u the flat owner? she slammed the window and went off |

Me too have inconsiderate/problematic neighbour staying upstairs. Everyday without miss, there will be noises such as banging wall or dragging chairs which are absolutely annoying. This happens 24 hours a day, no matter morning, afternoon, evening, night or even midnight. Can someone advise what should I do about it? I tried knocking at their door but they just don't bother to greet me. My sister suggested to call the police. Is that a good idea? |

Really unlucky to get these kind of neighbours.
I hate ppl purposely puff out smoke at my corridor, the smell gets in fm the windows .... smelt horrible.
As for air-con, my neighbour's aircon dripping water so when water hit on my aircon, the dak dak sound so loud in the night. Lucky aft tolerate some mths they changed new air-con.
Sometimes worry if complain, the neighbours get angry and will do even more. Wanted to paste posters at my window "DONT puff at my windows" .... no guts |

i think you can politely go to the few floors above you and explain the problem to them. your neighbour may not admit to it. paisay ma. so you may never know who is the culprit. if the problem persists, you have to get the council involved.
my husband went knocking on my few neighbour's doors to stop this major banging music. it's so loud, my walls shook. it has stopped since. we still dunno exactly which neighbour. haha... |

Not sure if anyone has the same problem as me.
I have been staying at my current flat for nearly 5 years. lately i realise that there is alot of noise at the pipe. I thought it is my pipe having problem and ask town council to check. The noise actually affected the whole block of the building. And it seem that the problem is not from our flat, it is my neighbour's tap having problem and we wont know which neighbour, as there are some neigbhour dont mind their whole house full of siren whenever they turn on the tap. So even if town council know which flat is the problematic, they cant do anything too if they dont change the tap. Sigh it seem there is little that the town council can do. |

just adding my share of neighbour encounters.. my lower floor neighbour likes to smoke at his window, and bcos the window faces an enclosed area, the smoke actually floats upwards to my unit, which aggrevates my sinus problem.
Their aircon condenser was also loud n cranky.. i was often woken up in the middle of the night thinking how come there are heavy vehicles moving around at this time! |

You can get inform the town council and they will take action by putting flyers on the blocks and to find your neighbours. A friend of mine cant take it too with the same incident and complained. |

My neighbour is worst. He smokes outside my place which is a small area shared by both families. I do not mind him doing that, but what i hate most is he throws the butts at my area near my potted plants or my doorsteps at times. I do not confront him to make things worst but i really hate this. |

Zolldoll,
Wow that is inconsiderate. Short of pooping and throwing toilet paper at people's door.
U still got a kid, what if he pick up the butts and play w them...
When u r outside w your kid and u see the neighbor, u "act" to tell your kids, "Please don't pick up the cigratte butts, they are litter." Then see what happens... HEadache neighbour. |

Ya lor. Already they play mahjong every night already and i am quite unhappy about it, and they litter round my area. I do not wish to kick up a fuss la, but hopefully me being quiet will make them guilty and make them wake up. Now i still smile and make small talk with them though. |
