I bought a flat 3 years ago. I have nothing to complain about the quality of the construction, but the design problem which I thought was small has reached gigantic proportions. The kitchen in the next block is approximately 5 feet away from my bed room. For the past two years it was let out by the owners. As the tenants were leading a normal life we had no problems. Now the owners are occupying the flat. Both the husband and the wife work in the IT firms. Their domestic life starts around 10 p.m. I am diabetic and 63 years old. My wife is both diabetic and a B.P patient. She is 58 years old and also suffers from osteoporosis. When people usually dream in their sleep in our case good sleep has become a dream for us. We take sleeping tablets or homeopathy drops to get some sleep. But after the arrival of the nocturnal neighbors we suffer without sleep. Operating of the mixie, cooking, washing dishes and speaking from the kitchen to her child and her husband make us awake from the slumber. After this for hours together we remain sleepless. I request you to whom I have to sue whether the nocturnal neighbor or the builder or the local authority( chitlapakkam local town panchayat) which approved the building plan. Or may I ask the builder to make some modification like sound proofing the windows at his own cost ( like providing additional wooden windows inside the room).
I request a clear guidance in this matter.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
V.S.Sathyan
