For the past 18 months I have been woken up at all hours of the night 12am 1am 3am and even 4am by a neighbour 2 floors above who takes delight in waking neighbours by hammering on the wall. I have sought assistance with the body corporate, ombudsmen and the strata manager and while she initially stops her behaviour, it soon restarts. I am at the end of my tether and the impact sleep deprivation is having on my quality of life is upsetting. I am an owner and am almost ready to sell. Please help

I look forward to what is suggested for this one because my neighbors rooster never shuts up.
Don't know about the rooster but the hammering neighbour could be dealt with by a Noise Abatement order from the District Court. Refusal to abide by it would be a contempt of court which is a criminal offence. And that means the police can be called. (See the discussion of the drumming teenager for appropriate links).
That said, this could be a mental health issue but even so, action should be taken that means the relevant agencies step in ASAP.
But the rooster has me foxed.
