I would like to ask fellow forumers. I have been staying here for 1 year and from day 1 till half year later, the neighbor on my right has been doing renovation which had made the family frustrated already but they did cooperate by starting at 10 where everyone can at least wake up before they start anything.

The issue is the neighbor on my right decide to do renovation too as soon as they bought this house. The renovation start at sharp 8am till sharp 6pm non stop with drilling and jackhammer. It has been straight on banging for 6 months non-stop even on Saturdays.

Is there any way i can complain to DBKL or something? From what I heard, they have already broke the regulation of keeping the physical structure of the house.

You can talk to them ask them start the banging late morning, and maybe on Sat don't do so heavy banging.

Long term, you don't want a black face neighbor. And it may come to a day you need renovation same thing happen to you.

I'm glad there are people out there that understand. I am having a black face every single morning for the past 6 months already.

We tried talking to the renovation people but they practically ignored. There was once, I said its Saturday and if you want to renovate also till 1-2pm only but they just said no, we will renovate till 6pm.

The fact that a ready made house is for you to buy, maybe just extend a bit at the back for the kitchen and thats all. This owner almost broke the whole structure down and build it again.

I guess either I can call up DBKL to ask them to check on this issue or further discuss with the owner, its driving my family crazy.

Sound like your complain direct to me yawn.gif I brought the house, and about 70% or more of the house are rebuild.

For my case, My left neighbor run a tuition class in her house, all banging stop after 3pm, occasionally i did forgot to tell some other contractor lucky my neighbor just tell contractor to stop. The major noise is on the first three months. After that is some noise here and there. My Right neighbor is rent out.

Now that most of my major renovation is done, my left neighbor now start renovating. And I think is payback time biggrin.gif Anyway I don't mind cause the major reno will only last for 2 to 3 months only.


May I ask, what is your expectation of tolerance? no single banging at all or occasionally 1 2 hours banging per day is acceptable even for Sat?

Haha. Sorry to directly tell you but i guess you can already feel what I am going through now.

I can tolerate banging like from 10am where I can PEACEFULLY wake up at my OWN house, head to class and that's it. The problem is as if they have drilled a thousand holes in the whole house. for 6 months, they have been drilling and jackhammering. I still can't understand, is there so many banging to do in one house.

3 months ago, i asked if are you done with the banging? The owner said ya, just a few more weeks. Now its the 6th month and its driving me nuts. I can seriously go mad at this point. I can't get a decent rest even when I am sick.

Than the house owner can ask DOE to check with MPSA, DBKL etc why first place approve the permit?

Is all about balance.

And what happen if you live near an empty land now is being develop? Like my mother house the construction happen. In evening no noise just too many large vehicle moving in and out. Who can we complain?

Some house owner are fussy, and change mind like our gov. Flip Flop here and there. My contractor work on a house @ Saujana, this house already renovate for coming to 2 years!!!, he is 3rd contractor.

E.g. Today want the wall plug at 3 feet high, tomorrow want it 1 feet high. Wall not straight ask hack and do. Furniture build 1/2 way not nice ask change.. Add extra work last minute.. Put electric rolling grilles (shutter) at stair entrance don't like ask remove..

Somemore all this don't want to give money..Who say rich people are good, this is what i call lousy customer. First 2 contractor do until run away. Mess up the house biggrin.gif
