Why must I spend $ on such things? Surely if the noise producing owner is adhering to the by laws (after all the SC ticked off on his renovations), surely evidence must be presented by him or the SC that the wooden floors were appropriately treated so they comply with the by law?
This is an existential question – but you’re right. Any minute now the StrataKops will be arriving at your front door with their acoustic digital ear trumpets to ascertain if there is any excessive noise …
Or not ..
This is how strata works. People break the rules and someone complains. The people who have broken the rules rarely if ever volunteer the information. How prepared you are to complain relates directly to how upset you are.
Every building is different so there is no prescriptive assessment of what is acceptable and what isn’t .
If it’s bad enough, gather the evidence and complain. If it doesn’t seem worth the hassle, learn to live with it and don’t make your own life a misery as a result.
