[quote=Anonymous]If you truly don't want to intervene than it's a long uncertain wait to see if this person receives some services of a caseworker or long suffering relative that they will eventually show up to check on them and see how sick they are.  This is a person with serious mental illness who is likely schizophrenic and having some hardcore hallucinations.  I would definitely complain to the condo, you should not have to live next to someone that disturbs the peace routinely.  If you hear them yelling about hurting another neighbor, it's a very good idea to call the police.

Sadly, the neighbor can't really be removed unless its demonstrated that they are an imminent threat to self or others.  This does involve calling the police.  They can hold the neighbor for a psychiatric evaluation for 72 hours.  Definitely not a permanent solution, but some nice anti psychotic meds might help this person (they actually probably have a prescription and just don't take it- as you are painfully aware of)

I am suprised that the condo has not intervened as they do have some rights to evict or some apartment building with a section 8 tenant...

I have had schizophrenic clients who spiral like this, and the apt. often is in a terrible state and they are not eating. This person needs help and is sick.  Please reconsider telling someone.[/quote]
