      Hi,

      I recently moved into a complex and have had consistent issues with the neighbours above our apartment, spitting (by far the most common and annyoing issue), throwing cigarette butts and rubbish (e.g. Beer bottle lids) onto our balcony. It happens about 5 times a week.

      When I say neighbours, I am not sure which neighbours it is, as I have never witnessed it directly, just cleaned up the aftermath.

      My balcony extends out further and is exposed to the 8 levels above. So the culprit/s are from somewhere above and usually do it at night. 

      I raised it with the O/C Manager and several of the other apartments were having similar issues, so they posted a notice in everyone’s mailbox and placed signs at the lifts and advised me if it continues that they will consider sending letters to the apartments directly above mine.

      The frequency of issues has been unchanged since the notice was posted, so I will soon ask that letters are sent, but I am wondering what next? As I doubt it will stop the behaviour, unless I catch someone directly.

      How far amI likely to get if I can’t identify the culprits?

      Also do I have grounds on safety to request the OC install, a sail/awning or even enclose the balcony given I am legitmately concered about something coming from above whilst I am out there?
