Flat next to me has no windows!

Hi,
So this is possibly a tricky one. I now live in a flat which is third floor. Within my block is four flats all owned by the same person. However, it's like flats above shops which continue in a long row. Someone else owns a couple next door, and it continues along the row.
The flat next to me (owned by someone else and presumably empty) had some very poor wooden windows which were smashed. In the winds they've now fallen into the flat, so there are no windows. This is a problem for my bedroom as it means the room next to me is freezing cold. It also now means that I'm getting a lot of noise coming in from the main road outside, where a window would have blocked this noise.
Can I complain to anyone about this? Would the council get involved? Or is it just going to be bad luck?

Contact the owner. He may not be aware and may be very grateful!
Check the Land Registry Title for owner here - £3 for the Leasehold Title.
Or the council's empty property officer eg:
