Then the officer talked to the other neighbor, who says that the complaints have gotten to the point where she can no longer enter her home without her neighbors complaining to the police. She believes this is retribution for her complaints that other neighbors run businesses out of their apartments, which has not been dealt with, and that those businesses created noise.

The officers told the other neighbor that she can file complaints for those issues, but in the meantime if she was making noise it must stop due to the numerous complaints they have received in the past.
