Not very different than getting visited by a burly looking neighbor. Except some people can look weaker, or be afraid to approach their neighbor because their small stature
When I had an upstairs neighbor having parties at all hours of the night, I wished there was a service where a bigger / more intimidating person would knock on their door and ask them to cut it out, instead of small and fragile looking me
That exists, and it's called the police. If your neighbor is violating noise ordinances, they'll get ticketed. If they're not, perhaps they're violating building rules, and can be fined by the building management. If still not, then you unfortunately just live in a shitty building, and hiring a thug to harass your neighbor (regardless of how loud they're being) sounds like a pretty disgusting (and legally risky) thing to do.
(Assume everyone involved is armed)
heh that's a "hired goon". This whole discussion is like standard issue organized crime and protection rackets but in app form. Too funny.
(And you weren't afraid of potential fallout from escalating things to intimidation either way? What if they hire a BIGGER person to go knock on your door?)
If you don't want to do something, you ask somebody else, if you both agree to the terms and costs you have a deal.
The world can be, how should I put this, difficult a place.
The contracted party might agree to not mention you. Something like: hey, I live across the street, would you mind letting me know if you're going to have music late at night because I'll just stay at my partner's place that evening, here's my number. No sweat, have a good night, here's a complimentary six pack.
It doesn't take a lot of imagination to assume the best possible reading of a comment like yours.
Have a lovely day.
My solution was to offer to pay them $$$ for their moving fees and, when they turned that down, I just picked up and moved to another building.
That's not really much different.
