Lived in a Bieck apartment for almost a year in Whitefish Bay. The building was pretty old. My front door didnt even go all the way to the ground. I lived on the second floor with my daughter who was 9 at the time. I could hear the dryer running through the laundry shoot even on the second floor. My unit had an "updated" kitchen, which basically meant it had a dishwasher. Randomly I got a letter in the mail that someone complained about noise and was hearing banging and stomping. I had no idea what noise the person below me could be hearing as my daughter and I weren't home much and went to bed early. I talked to my neighbor next to me who told me the apartments were paper thin, but she never heard us being loud. I also talked to the lady below me who complained to Bieck. She didn't understand how noise traveled through the apartments and was sorry she just complained about us instead of talking to me and it was mainly her 11 year old daughter who was complaining. Also, she told me she kept hearing a banging noise in the kitchen area. MY DISHWASHER. I mean did this lady think we just sat in the kitchen stomping. About a week before this, my daughter was in her room and tripped and the lady below us started banging on the ceiling scaring my daughter. I confronted her about this and she said admitted it. About 3 weeks later, my boyfriend's 3 year old was over and was running around playing. This lady came up and told us her daughter was sleeping and we were gonna wake everyone up. It was about 8am and I'm not sure how I can tell a 3 year old they cannot run around and play. Was it in my lease that children cannot play? She proceeded to tell me she would just continue to document everything I did. Later than day they were banging on the ceiling again. I called Kim at Bieck and told her the situation and she told me I needed to just call the police. Kim was absolutely no help. So somehow I can get noise violations, but this lady can get away with purposely doing things. Kim told me they were not going to make the other lady move out and they also were not going to let me move into an upper unit anywhere else. She barely would speak to me and said she had other work to do. She failed to realize I am a single parent, with a child in school. I ended up moving. I asked for leniency on the 60 days notice because school was starting in 6 weeks and I needed to switch my daughter's schools. Kim wouldn't. I had to move, switch my daughter's school, and lost my security deposit. All because of a woman who didn't understand old buildings. I lived in this building before this lady and the previous tenant said we were very quiet. I talked to the other tenants who lived in the lower building and they said they would hear the other upstairs lady's cats running around. If you can hear someone's cats, your gonna hear people. This was 2 years ago, but I am still bothered I didn't funnel this up at Bieck or call the police on this lady disturbing my peace.
