Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

Escalated noise complain to a class action?
The owner below us complained about the noise of our foot steps(two adult and a small dog), once in person, and once in a meeting with the president of the condo association during the first year. We put carpets and removed the closet doors which annoyed him. He still harass us in the form of banging our floors with a stick. According to him, he doesn't want us to walk around between 12:30am-5:30am. We are always bare feet in the rooms and have been tried to walk softly but it still bothers him. Since he recently became a treasure of the association and complained about us to others, the association sent a letter to each owner but not to us which states how important for us to be quiet because he is an asset to the condo association, due to the reason of him considering to move out. We believe that he is too noise sensitive person. He even complain about our dog's steps. What we concern the most is that the legality of a class action to force us to move out. We don't have much communication with other owners but he uses every occasion to speak ill of us to them. Thus, most of them believe what he says. The building is 37 years old and other owners say that they can also hear each others' foot steps.

Re: Escalated noise complain to a class action?

As long as you are not violating any Condo by-laws and act in a reasonable manner, you should have no legal problems.
