As you aware that there may be flat owners association. Made a reprasentation to the said accociation and sought for repire with photos and video clips along with a copy of the same to above flat owners.
If they failed to proceed or failed to take action against the said nuisance, you have right to approch the civil court against the owners as well as the above flat onwers to protect your flats.
For first please do reprasentaion to the flat owners asaociation.
