If you choose to live in a neighborhood, you are choosing to live with A LOT of compromise, because you have no space to yourself. You can choose not to live there, instead of choosing to dictate what lawn equipment everyone else has. You can choose what you will do, before choosing what everyone else will do. That is one reason we moved out to the sticks. I could choose what I wanted, easier than forcing everyone else to bend to my will.

B.S. If I move in to a neighborhood and a few years someone else moves in and is totally disrespectful of others then that person should be harassed endlessly.
Noise pollution is real.

That is just something you are exposing yourself to when you choose to live within 20' of another person. Maybe they find you annoying too. High density housing requires a lot of compromise. It's silly to assume everyone likes living next to you too. They made a compromise as well.

Need to get this thing lifted and sharpen the blades since I'm sure, they have been dulled.

I drive mine up onto oil change ramps. Takes a deft hand to spin the casters as you back down, but not that difficult. Makes blade swaps a breeze, with the 1/2” impact driver.

Do you have a trailer with a gate that comes down? I drive mine up the gate so half of the mower is accessible. Remove the blades you can reach, then do the same on the other side.

I like these own 2 used all the time, on my lawn tractors, ATVs, and snowmobiles among other things also. If I can find a good deal I'd probably get the 2nd picture with a bit more lifting capacity though.

I rarely sharpen my mow er blades, I just replace them every season. A couple things to keep in mind...

Never sharpen them to a 'knife edge', always leave a small blunt edge, never sharpen them to a knife edge...

You need to balance the blades after sharpening as any imbalance will adversely impact the spindles and cause vibration.

If the kick up on the backside of the blade is worn away, just replace them. That is my big issue here with sandy soil. The kick up gets worn away, why I just replace them instead of sharpening them. Sandy soil here, wears away the kick up and renders the blades not useable.
