So, I suppose I should post the (sorta) good along with the bad.
Anyway, after the incident with the HVAC unit, I did exchange a few emails with the landlord's girlfriend, detailing the issues with the noise and suggesting a few potential remedies (carpet, soundproofing, just moving out of the kitchen late at night). She said at that time that she'd talk to the landlord about it, and that was the last we really spoke of it.
For the last ten days or so, they actually do appear to be making an effort at reducing the amount of noise coming from the kitchen, and haven't had any truly raucous parties in there late at night. While it's not perfect (we can still hear their music, and a bit of walking and kitchen noise) it's been a definite improvement.
Cut to today. Apparently the landlord has found the blog, and isn't too happy about his name and address being used and asked that I remove it from the blog. I don't blame him really, and if he can work to be more reasonable than our original conversation regarding the noise, then I can work to be more reasonable about publishing his name and address in a public forum.
I'm still not happy about being told "you're screwed" in the beginning (as opposed to working this out before it came to documenting disturbances on the internet), but I'll take progress where I can get it.

Progress! Congrats on getting even the little bit you've gotten so far. I'm very glad to hear the "post stuff on the Internet" strategy is actually getting you some results. Good luck from here on out.
We'll see how it turns out.
