I have an issue with floors next door to my unit that cause vibrations in my unit. I have complained for almost three years to the HOA and Management. Finally, a month ago, the HOA asked the landlord of the other unit to have her floors checked. She brought in a contractor, who only went to the unit causing the vibrations and stepped hard on the floor and told me he didn't hear anything. I know it is the floors and what is causing it, but no one believes me. The HOA says they can't afford a structural engineer to check out the problem. They are saying I should pay for it. I believe they may not want to do this do to the age of the building, 45 years, and what will be found, as it would be too costly to repair, probably causing an assessment. I have lived her 35 years and put a lot of equity into my unit, so my retirement would not be too costly. Now the vibrations are so bad at times, when sitting on my sofa, it feel like a vibrator was turned on. Embarrassing when company or family are visiting. I am considering a letter from an attorney, requesting they hire a structural engineers who will do a thorough investigation and submit a report to all involved. If they deny doing this, any solutions recommended?
