Recent Experience At The Chalet - BEWARE! Background: My wife and I are senior citizens and native New Yorkers. We relocated back to Long Island to be near family in our Senior Years 9/15/24. We met with the building manager, who gave us a tour of the building and the available 2 BR/2 bath apartment (which we subsequently leased). At no time during the "tour" did she mention major construction was underway in the apartment directly above ours. After moving in, we were immediately subjected to the loudest construction noise i've heard outside of NYC construction sites. We're talking major reconstruction of wood flooring, which sounded like someone was hacking the floor with sledgehammers. The noise continued daily from our move-in date until the present day (2 months later), with no end in sight. I am an insurance adjuster, and work remotely, so during my conversations with clients, some of them asked if I was working in a salt mine. That's just the beginning - last week, I discovered a mouse roaming around my office. I was able to trap it, and then reported it to the "property manager", who send 2 maintenance men up to set mouse traps. Unfortunately, they caught another mouse the next day. So, we insisted they send an exterminator up to resolve the issue. He did patch several holes where the mice were entering (which should have been done before we moved it), but that didn't solve the issue, as we found 2 more mice in over the next week. To date, the issue has not been resolved. The final straw was today, Tuesday, 11/5, when I walked out of the apartment to take a walk and noticed the strong aroma of smoke. I went down to the lobby, and sure enough, there were fire engines and ambulances in the lot. Yep, a fire had broken out in the laundry room. But, the fire alarms in the building never sounded! So, if I hadn't happened to leave my apartment at 1:00 p.m. I never would have known there was a fire 1 floor below our apartment. No staff or maintenance reps ever knocked on any doors to alert residents. And there are a lot of elderly residents in the building.
