There is a coop owner who lives across the hall from me. They have used their apartment as an apartment for transient “friends,” and family. Intially, the apartment was owned by the mother of the current owner. She did not live in the apartment, but rented the apartment to students for the academic year and to other students or transient renters for the summer.

They were in violation of the coop by laws, but were never approached by the management or coop board for being in violation. Now they are on the managements watch list, as they have now moved out and are paying the maintenance. However, they have again resorted to a transient use of the apartment. In addition they owner uses the apartment as a music practice studio, and have also had numerous instrumentalist there for practice and concerts of sorts. What recourse do I have? The board and the management seem to be indifferent to the noise and inappropriate use of the apartment. Should I contact a lawyer? Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
