Neighborly disturbance update.

[rivka]

Thanks to all of you for your sympathy and advice on the situation with our neighbors. One of our landlords called on Sunday to tell us that she would be bringing a lead inspector by this week, and I told her about the situation. She was extremely sympathetic and agreed that the situation is not fair to us, in addition to being alarming. Interestingly enough, she seemed to think that she had an idea about who the aggressor was. She's going to intervene.

She also told us that one of them is going to be away all this week on military duty. So we should at least have a week of peace and quiet. Whew.

You got tons of useful advice on the previous post, so I won't repeat what I agree with, but what I didn't see was this:

1. Do not, under any circumstances, go outside and try to intervene during a fight. I believe cops hate domestic disturbances because more of them get *killed* responding to domestics than any other call.

2. If I could do it without being caught, I'd drop one or more women's shelter brochures in their mailbox/under their door every day after a fight.

3. If your concern is for the couple, does your community have an LGBT center or organization? They might have some resources for same-sex domestic abuse/counseling. I'm making the assumption they're a couple; if so, anonymously dropping a brochure or list of counselors who specialise in lesbian relationships might be less ... problematic... than the local women's shelter brochure.
