Hi, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask for advice, if it isn’t please let me know so I can post it correctly.

There has been two gas leaks the last 2 months and now my family and I are fearing for our lives and not sure what to do. The dude is directly below us. Landlord told us that he is bad news but it will take years to evict him. Cops won’t do anything cause he didn’t kill anyone yet. I live with children and there are children in the building. What can I do? Is the only option to move out?

Edit: I know he is doing this on purpose because landlord and super told me. Also he has been causing havoc in other ways ever since he came back from jail. It was a solid great 30 years without him here, no issues. Other neighbors are great, they look out for one another. They were the ones who pounded on my door or else I would have never known. I want them to be safe also.

i think we will have to be homeless now 😢

ALSO DO I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING??
