There is usually a clause in most leases which restrict you from recording any part of your complex from your own apartment or from using recording equipment in any part of the complex without the permission of the management company. you should report the nuscience to the management company and ask them if you can gather evidence by way of recording the behaviour.
ok thanks, will check lease later

Have you tried telling them to stop and if that fails report them to the management company? you are allowed keep notes of the disturbances so keep a notebook handy and note down all instances.OldNotWIse wrote: »ok thanks, will check lease later0 -

Yes have asked them almost every second day to stop. Have reported them to management, who have sent letters to parents which have been ignored. A letter put up (not by me) on a communal noticeboard was taken down and destroyed. Aside from the intense annoyance of the whole thing, its also a safety issue. They go up and down a ramp in the complex on bikes and scooters which ends off as a kind of blindspot right beside the main car entrance. One of these days one of them will go right under a car
Also destroying trees and plants in the area, terrorising pets and caught one of them scaling our balcony a while back. The mother is a piece of work, came banging on the door more or less accusing me of being a pervert for recording her brats 0 -
take notes of every time they are there, times dates and the number of them and what they are doing. pass copies of this to the management company every week or two weeks and remind them of their obligations towards you and their obligation regarding the anti social behaviour.OldNotWIse wrote: »Yes have asked them almost every second day to stop.

I would tread very carefully when it comes to taking pictures/videos of kids to be honest...
Yeah I'm kind of regretting it now. I just got so angry with the whole thing, months of compaining etc and nothing done, so I figured if I got proof of them breaking the rules of the complex then something would have to be done. Of course now I may have simply given the mother a stick to beat me with

In this day and age all it takes is a rumor and and a life is ruined ,
I'd thread very careful where minors are concerned

Obviously scaling the balcony is not on and if you had it on camera then you could use it to inform the Gardai but I can't see anyone being too worried about kids playing.
A -total ejit to risk his life to climbing the balcony the Gardai won't exactly do much in that type of situation
I'm sure the management company would take likely to getting sued by some ejits mother ,

Suing for slander is not going to do any good when it gets out that you have been seen taking pictures/videos of children. In this day and age it is a very stupid thing to risk doing; no matter how innocent it might be or what the situation, it is not worth the potential fallout.
Yeah thats what I'm worried about! Mud sticks and all that 0 -

It's against the rules for them to be playing ball too. There are others who have complained too - the first time I called the management company I heard something along the lines of "ah yes, those kids again". Perfectly good park around the corner, never seen them in it. Mother prefers to turf them out and treat the garden as a playground. Someone else left up a note a while ago about them, that was removed.
They live there so there entitled to use the space as you stated above for residents (quite) enjoyment, sounds like the management company don't see much of an issue

Management are constantly sending out letters, and have said in the past that they would press for evictions if we named those involved. At the time I didn't as I was afraid of the backlash tbh
That's just nit picking ,
Imagine the same kids stuck inside playing because complaint's about them playing outside ,
I'm sure people would complain even more ,

What issues exactly are they causing by playing in the area? Are they causing damage? Banging balls off your windows etc?
The noise is the worst I suppose. Of course we dont expect complete silence, there is give and take and general apartment living means there's always coming and going and whatnot. But their noise levels are unbelievable. In fact, it defies logic how things so small can make so much noise
It was particularly bad during the fine spell. We couldnt even leave the balcony door open in the heat because the noise levels were so high. There is the constant going up and down the ramp outside on skateboards and scooters which is also noisy. They jam open the fire doors so they can come in and out. I dont mind that so much as we're not near the corridors but I have spoken to other residents who have complained about them running up and down stairwells and corridors, banging on doors etc. We haven't experienced this. They have destroyed some of the shrubs outside by kicking balls into them, and climbing the trees. They often kick balls into parked cars etc (as spaces are organised around the green). Again, our parking is underground so not a direct issue for us but for others. 0 -
