I contacted Councilperson SF and he reponded very quickly and cc some other official to rectify the situation. All I know, the HUMMING stopped for all of last evening! For now.

Call the Mayor action Bureau #

There have been plumbers/workers there for weeks now. Not sure what they are installing or repairing but I am guessing that because of the nature of that building the city will allow the noise to continue unfortunately. Below are the JC noise ordinances.

There was never any noise until 3 months or so ago, maybe a bit longer. As soon as those trucks came around, the noise started. It is not always on, but when it is, sounds like a spaceship has landed, that HUMMING. I would say it is on at least 16 of the 24 hours in a day! And yes, it is located on the 8th Street side facing St. Anthony HS.

Someone, is there some NUISANCE law here.

I pretty sure that is the buildings HVAC exhaust you are hearing. The vents are on 8th street side of the complex and as far as I know, they run 24/7.

When walking by the tall convalescent center on Manila between Pavonia and 8th Street (across from the Hudson Savings Bank), there is an annoying HUMMING noise. I see an air condition repair truck there sometimes, but his HUMMING noise continues, so annoying.

Who can this be reported to as a nuisance????
