[200William-EC] Loud hammering / construction noise

[Diana Dennison]

Hi all,

I first heard the noise Sunday morning. Was woken at 4:30 and it was loud and alarming and definitely in the building west of 602 and between wiliam st and lobby. It happened again an hour later and an hour after that. 
Phil and I went to check level 7 and found signs of recent activity (footprints in the dew and bottle tops). We couldn't access west roof?? The sauna was dry.   Later Phil and George saw CCTV footage showing a dawn party In action on the east roof. 
I think this is coincidental as the noises were not like human revelling, and happened again on subsequent nights. 
Phil recorded last night's repetitious noises and tried to record the louder single thumping one but as you never know when to expect it, couldn't.
It's wired as it happens every night and not during the day. How can a noise from the plant room only occur in the wee small hours?
The plot thickens.
Cheers, 
Di
PS it would spook the stilettos off a hooker...
