      Hi everyone,

      The weather is now warming up enough for my neighbour to once again stand on the balcony of his ground-level unit in south-west Sydney and repeatedly hock and spit into the small garden below.

      I live in the adjacent building so my bedroom overlooks his balcony.

      Six months of the year I am awoken at 5am as he has his morning cigarette on the balcony following by a coughing and spitting fit. He then repeats this performance between 11pm and midnight.

      In the colder months he stays inside to cough and spit in his kitchen, which is audible but more tolerable.

      My strata has no affiliation with his strata, and therefore can’t contact him. I was advised to contact council or police with a noise complaint, but although I know the street address I don’t know which unit number he occupies.

      There is a cultural and language barrier here, but he has teenage children who should be able to translate the neighbours yelling their displeasure.

      I read in another FlatChat column that occupants have the right to “peaceful enjoyment”, and this neighbour is ruining my peaceful enjoyment and my sleep.

      How can I let him know this is inappropriate, and get him to stop?
