Ten things you can do to be a good neighbor

Be considerate of others. You live in a large building. There are other tenants with a variety of lifestyles. Please be considerate of that fact. Chances are there is happy medium between your desires and your neighbors. Here are ten things that you can do to help.

1. During late night and early hours please be aware of the "noise" you might be making. It may be a loud TV or stereo, an above average loud speaking voice, your anxious pet, or other activity that may be heard through these pathetic excuses for walls.
2. Talk at a quiet level when walking through the halls in the morning or nighttime. The walls here are pretty thin and the hallway resonates. Your voice is easily heard in apartments from the hallway.
3. Please don't let your door slam shut. The doors here are heavy and they make quite a loud noise when they slam shut. It's a simple matter to close your door quietly by holding the door until it's nearly shut and then gently pulling it closed. It also shows that your parents brought you up right.
4. Curb your dog inside and outside of the building. If there is an accident inside, don't expect someone else to clean it up, go back to your crib and get a paper towel or two...and if your dog's a barker it's your responsibility to deal with it, not your neighbors.
5. If you keep unusual hours please be aware that your schedule is in conflict with most others, not vice-versa. Keep your TV low, same with your music, and if you happen to think that 4 AM is a great time to vacuum your carpet, know that you will probably be alone in this belief.
6. Communal space is for all of the tenants, not just for you and your friends. Treat it responsibly and not like your parents rec room. This includes cleaning up after yourselves and taking your anti-social behavior elsewhere--and no, getting drunk with your buddies on the roof doesn't qualify as being social. Most other tenants will only consider you to be a clueless jerk.
7. Gym etiquette. Get some! Wipe that Gym equipment down after you use it. I do NOT want your sweat on me no matter how wonderful you might think you are. Use the wipes provided or bring a CLEAN towel with you to the gym to wipe the machines down EVERY time you use one. And BTW, some of you need a shower badly. Don't bring your malodorous self into the gym thinking you'll take a shower when you get done. Others may not want to partake of your self-loathing hygienic nightmare. Also, you don't live at home anymore. Please put away your gym "toys" after use (mats, exercise ball, etc.).
8. Enter and leave the garage at a reasonable (ie. SLOW) rate. Uh, this is self evident.
9. Dispose of your garbage properly. If you don't know the building policy, take a short walk to the rental office and I'm sure they will be happy to apprise you. Don't leave your unwanted garbage that you don't know what else to do with in the trash room. Take your recycling down to the loading dock until management has come to their senses and provides pickup on each floor. If you cant hit the gigantic hole for the trash, step a little closer. Your canned chili from last night looks and smells horrendous on the wall near the chute.
10. If you're going to have a party, talk it over with your neighbor, or at least give them heads up. Chances are you're really not all that bright and your buddies probably aren't either. When you all start bouncing off my walls or spill into the hallway, listening to your drunken shouts can be a real exercise in self restraint.

BONUS: Respect the rules of the building. They were put in place for a reason.

And for good measure...don't run a brothel out of your apartment, don't sell drugs in the building, don't run a bed and breakfast out of your apartment (no really!), don't leave a trail of shame down the hallway, because, "Dude, I was so drunk. 12 shots of Jäger and a dozen beers. You shoulda been there. It was so awesome," don't give the concierge a hard time because they're doing their job by not letting your twenty friends in with you, and please don't stand in the hallway with your four friends making plans for the evening, talking on your cellphone, or talking to your precious dog Skippy. Take it inside your apartment.
