Does the city take any initiative about cars blasting their music? A patrol car stationed at the stop sign at 1st and Erie could probably issue enough tickets to reduce taxes. I would also love to see the insurance companies and the loan companies advised that these cars are a public nuisance.

Were they the ones doing awful karaoke for a short time?

I heard that at like, 1AM a few days ago, but the noise stopped for me after only a minute or two, and I wasn't asleep at the time.

One more thing, & I cannot stress this enough, it doesn't matter what time the excessive noise, etc starts; whether 2am or 1pm when your quality of life is impacted you have the right to demand something be done. So don't think you are limited only to evening disturbances.

I used to have the noise complaint number for the Heights but now I can't find it?does anyone have it? Thanks!

Put it this way: If you don't call, it will continue and probably will get worse as the weather warms up.
Unfortunately, people don't call such issues and the problem neighbors end up doing what they want and getting more obnoxious.
I would also encourage you to go to your precinct's Captains' meeting. It does help and you can bring up such issues for special attention.
I'm in the Heights and police have been good with responding and as needed giving citations which will really nip the problem in the butt.
When you do call in, be as specific as possible (say what going on and where, e.g., partying / loud music in backyard). Otherwise, they may not hear anything in the front and may not pursue.
Good luck. We had several bad neighbors (loud and late partying); but thankfully, things have improved .. but only because of calling in complaints.

Call, call, call. And let's encourage our neighbors to do the same thing. 78 Erie. to be exact.

Thanks all! Just wasn't sure if anyone has had a similar experience before, and if it was worth it to take this route.

And yes, GoEagles, that would be the block.

Erie between 4th and 5th by any chance?

yes of course call in. The police will respond, and they're very good about it. Usually the firs time they show up, it's a warning. If they have to come back again, they get a little meaner and might start writing citations. Especially if they keep getting calls every week.

You don't mention if your neighbor's daughter is a minor? Either way, you do need to call this in for your own peace of mind.

Don't give your name when you call the PD (you're a "concerned neighbor who wishes not to provide your name.") Call as often as you need to. Try to figure out the exact address to help response time.

Encourage any pissed off neighbors to do the same. You cannot be the only one who is being bothered by the noise.

Fun parties on the weekends are one thing. Obnoxious keggers with screaming adolescents on a work/school night are an entirely different matter.

If no one calls in a complaint, the noise is likely to continue.

Hi all. My neighbor's daughter is constantly throwing parties. Not just on weekends, but weekdays. Last night, her and her friends were screaming about kegstands and joints from 230AM to 5AM. I want to call in a noise complaint the next time it happens, but is it even worth it? They party in the backyard I believe on 5th, where it's all brownstones, so not sure if the cops can even do anything or if they'd even come over? Thanks!
