Problem neighbours

Can anything be done in the scenario of a highly problematic neighbour. She is the daughter of the property owner but the owner lives elsewhere. I know with rented properties it can be easier to act but wasn't sure what options are available when the owner has placed their 40 YO DC with significant mental health problems in the property and effectively left her to it.

Surely it depends on what they're doing/whether they've broken any laws??

Your local council have a vulnerable adult dept if you feel there has actually been some sort of 'abandonment'.. Or surely police if things are serious...

If this is really untenable then she needs help, so think you need to contact the authorities to get her family to help the poor woman

We know she is schizophrenic, she drinks a lot. When she's drunk it's awful. Screaming, screaming obscenities, screaming theeats, holding the doors and banging them repeatedly. We know she drink drives but only once she has arrived back and the police aren't interested as she's no longer drink driving. She's driven into the property fencing more than once whilst drunk. She threatens us. Last night we had 3 extreme bouts of this screaming/aggression at 11pm, 2am and 4am. We keep informing her father because if anything, we don't understand why they are just leaving her to it for her own sake. Father has obviously spoken to her so she's been screaming through the walls that she's going to come and sort us out. Police won't come unless it escalates to more than just threats. We are genuinely very concerned that she isn't far off escalating. We are scared to go outdoors when she is going for it. We know there have been multiple arrests for assaults on various boyfriends. It's hard to describe how horrific it all is. She doesn't meet the threshold for inpatient psychiatric help according to a friend we attempted to mediate through.
