I didnt realize you were in a apartment. I can see where they might get upset if you had a 5000 watt generator running on your balcony! Honda does make a super quiet model, its not 5000 watts but it might run what you would need. The thing is the more quiet the generator the more $ it will cost you! I found one made by Honda, 2000 watts for $1200, a bit more $ than I paid but it is super quiet, pretty sure you could run it during the day/evening. It says 1 gallon of fuel last 15 hours, WoW

The add is a bit tricky, notice it is showing a 3000 watt model, then you look at the smaller picture that has the specs and it is the 2000 watt model! Dirty...
