fast solo sax avant garde jazz at top volume. Absolutely painful.

Had a similar situation here. They are below so I could use a subwoofer on them with very little volume up here. They gave up after 3 weeks. But if he is next door a sub-woofer won't work. In my experience these types don't care until it affects them. You need some type of leverage on him since nice didn't work.

Did 311 offer any ideas? Can you send him certified mail, just stating the problem and be specific that this is displacing you. Keep records of when and how long he displaces you. Then file in small claims for damages -- any expenses related to not being able to use your own apartment during his sessions. If that fails, sue him and your landlord for moving expenses and broker fees.
