Crying "foul" is not the same thing as making a false report. That is the issue here.

Perhaps he does have a legitimate basis for complaint, or thinks he does; in that case, a letter to building management would be the proper course (if I understand the situation correctly).

We had a very serious dog problem in my building (much worse than this one), and I took immediate steps to handle it. I would not have even considered lying, however.
