Letters to the Editor: Noise levels within 900 Marshy Cove

The following has been submitted by a resident:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Due to the poor construction and lack of attention to details at 900 Marshy Cove, Tenants who are not as fortunate as those living on the top floor experience excessive noise from tenants living above them. i.e., when the man above me gets out of bed in the morning I can hear his bare feet on the floor. When one of the tenants grand children runs the hallway on the 3rd floor I can hear it in my unit on the first floor. All this means is that the sound attenuation in the floor system is not adequate....There are HUD standards as well as Building Code standards that are suppose to be followed or exceeded set standards of decibel levels of sound that are allowable.
Since Comanco is in Beazer's pocket, I wonder if there is another way of checking this standard to get the construction certified or disapproved.....If it is the later then it can be fixed with sound insulation that they can blow into the ceiling spaces to reduce the transmission of noise ...... Maybe a question for HUD....I don't know"
