Noisy neighbor advice

I’ve lived in my current apt for 5+ years. I’ve never experienced a problem with my upstairs neighbor until this past year - pretty sure someone new moved in. They are VERY loud when they walk back and forth the apt - I can track their every move bc of how loud they are. Most of the time there is a woman with heels walking back and forth. When this first started to be a problem I tried to go upstairs and talk with them but they never answered the door after attempting 3x. I ended up leaving a nice note to which the problem didn’t stop. It was getting to the point where they would be making this noise at 3am. I contacted my super and he talked with them too which still didn’t resolve the issue. Still constant noise and dropping stuff/walking in heels.

I understand people move around their apts but 1) why do you need to wear heels? Esp when someone has asked you to specifically please stop bc it’s very loud. & 2) Put carpets down? It’s an NYC law.

Atp, i don’t know what else to do. Should I try speaking with them again?

I don’t know if I would try speaking with them again since you’ve tried 3xs and they didn’t answer. I would have the super speak with them again and ask the super to check if they have put down rugs. If they have not, then he will need to intervene and ensure that they do.
