WIBTAH if I filed a complaint against my neighbors with a newborn?

Hello Everybody! I’ve never done a post like this but I’m laying in bed and getting more pissed & it’s 10 pm and nobody is awake or else I’d be texting my friends n family. VERY LONG POST WARNING

I (27F), my fiancé , L (26M) — and my 18 month old daughter, M (along with 2 crazy cats) live in an apartment building and have lived here for almost 2 years. Let me start off by saying we love it here. The neighborhood is good, management has taken care of us whenever there’s a problem, it’s really been great living here. Main con is that we’re on the top floor (it’s only 2 levels) and the stairs are KILLER because of how steep they are.

Anyways, a couple months ago, a new couple moved in underneath us which we never realized the previous tenants had left until these new ones moved in. The whole first week (and still counting), their little yapper dog never shut up and she would take him out on their ground patio and it’s not like fenced off for anything and she literally would sit on her little ‘porch’ -if you call a slab of concrete that- and let him run around and do his business which you’re supposed to have the dog leashed and clean up said business.

1 week passed of them moving in & during the weekend, we were going about our regular weekend activities of cleaning and playing with our daughter. Mind you, my fiancé is 6’7 & heavy set, fully tatted guy - most people move out his way because he looks intimidating- so him playing with our daughter, he can’t really be quiet bout it. He also is heavy footed so his regular walk might be mistaken as stomping. Moving on— he’s playing with M, I’m cleaning so dishes, laundry, vacuuming, etc, when we hear a knock at our door. I tell my fiancé that it’s prob the groceries bc we do grocery delivery on weekends. I go to our back bedroom to rest for a bit & I pull up our ring doorbell camera & see this lady around late 30s with a baby in her arms. I watch my fiancé open the door and immediately her facial expression changes (that’s normally what happens when people first meet my fiancé because 9/10 they think they’ve fxcked up seeing how tall and scary her looks). She starts off by saying ‘I’m sorry I don’t mean to bother you and it’s really not my place but we live underneath you and ya know, I’m a new first time mom & it’s just a lil noisy above us’ and my sweet fiancé responded ‘I’m sorry I have a heavy foot and I was playing with my daughter’ and M popped out from behind L at this point. The neighbors face looked surprised and was like ‘oh you have a kid too? I’m sorry I had no idea’ and L responded with ‘well try to keep it down’ and she said ‘no worries have a nice day’

Mind you, I’m watching all this unfold on the ring camera & my blood starts boiling and L can sense that as he shuts the door and comes to the back and says ‘she was nice, let it go’

NOW, here’s my reasoning — when we moved in to this complex nearly 2 years ago, I was 7 months pregnant with M and I knew going into it that it’s a complex and there’s not going to be peace and quiet. When M was born, we had loud neighbors & you can pretty much here when someone gets into their dresser or closet or goes to the bathroom — and in my opinion, none of it justified me making complaints because we chose to live here & people can’t bend to our will just because we have a newborn. The only time we said something was because the previous tenants beneath us decided to host a party one night that ended with fighting and they were slamming everybody against the building & L stepped out to say something & everybody got scared and ran off.

So since this interaction, it’s made me anxious to try to go about my daily chores because I try not to be a problem but I can’t not upkeep our apartment.

Fast forward to today, it’s around 9pm, fiancé just got home bc he works night shift, I’m playing with M while L showers so he can take her and I can go to bed bc I normally have to get up around 4 am. We’re minding our own business when suddenly someone is banging on our floor/ neighbors ceiling. L saw my facial expression and was like ‘they’ve fxcked up.’ I mean, I can understand them having a baby but we’ve lived here longer and like I said, I can’t change how we live our day to day just because they made the choice to move into a complex and a unit underneath an occupied unit.

SO my thing is WIBTAH if I were to file an actual complaint about the neighbors with the property management office? Or at least make their life hell until we moved out — which hopefully will be in the next 4 months.
