Day 04: My Drunk Neighbor Is Actually a Genius
My neighbor has been a regular drunk for years, but I knew that only because I often hear loud music from his apartment and he's always trying to sing like crazy. Sometimes he goes out into the stairwell and slams the door. Somehow we never met until today.
When we ran into each other this morning, he looked like a businessman. He wore a suit, introduced himself, and in a matter of moments it was revealed that he was actually a university professor.
I don't know. Maybe sometimes people need to leave all civilized features behind for a little relief. He need to do it three times a week. Why would I blame him for that?

Your English is great! Your usage is very natural and vocabulary is good - good luck living next to him :)
My neighbor has been a regular drunk for years, but I kneow that only because I often hear loud music from his apartment, and he's always trying to sing like crazy.
"knew" might be correct, because this has been going on so long, but you continue with the present tense with "I often hear" and "he's always," so I think it works better to have all three verbs in the present tense. (However, I'm not an expert in grammar).
He wore a suit, introduced himself, and in a matter of moments it was revealed that he wais actually a university professor.
The story is in the past tense, but his status as a university professor is a current fact.
(As before, I'm telling you how I would write it, but I could be incorrect.)

"features" does not fit well here. I would look for a different word, depending on what you want to express. The standard idiom that comes to mind is "trappings of civilization." However, if you want to keep your sentence structure, then "behavior" or "behaviors" will work.
