A recent study entitled: "Neighbor Noise" - A Problem That Needs to Be Addressed by Arline L. 欧洲杯押注的Bronzaft和Betty Cooper Wallerstein, Chair of 的 East 79th Street Neighborhood Association found that landlords and managing agents tend to ignore neighbor noise complaints. A questionnaire asking for information on "neighbor noise" was sent to managing agents of 56 buildings on 的 Upper East Side. Only 23% of 的 agents contacted responded to 的 questionnaire after two mailings and phone calls. It is doubtful that neighbor noise is not a problem on 的 Upper East Side but if it were not a problem, 的 short questionnaire could have been completed by 的 managing agent stating that noise is not a problem. More likely, 的 lack of response indicates that noise is not much interest to managing agents.
