The Neighboor Hood



I could use some advice. I live in a nice place. I live in a nice town and I live in a nice home. There are, however, some not so nice places nearby me – which is fine, as long as they’re quiet. When they get loud however, I don’t like it. There is a ghetto apartment building right next door to where I live and the tenats are driving me nuts. They play music with a very deep, thumping bass line. It drives me completely crazy. Today they have decided to bang the piece of crap remnant of a car they have with a hammer. All day. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! I want very much to run outside and scream at them but I think they’re in a gang and I don’t want them shoot me. I could go outside and try to ask them very nicely to stop banging on the crappy car and save my sanity, but I have a feeling they would be unresponsive. I can call the cops, but I don’t want to be one of “those” neighbors. Besides, what exactly is the cut off point for it’s too late to be banging on a crappy car?

Your thoughts, please! I need help.

  1. In most counties, the cut off point for making loud noises ('loud' being defined as over a certain decibel level) after 10 PM. Check the local laws to confirm the time and decibel level.

    I wouldn't be reluctant to call the cops. They won't tell the perps who narc'd on them and your other neighbors will probably thank you.
