  • Respect-O-Meter: Valued Neighbor

Hi -

 

A rental property beside my house is being turned as a car shop.  Different people come and go into this property with their trucks.  They use their tools that sounds like jackhammers most of the time.  Unfortunately, I live in a corner lot and the garage of this rental property is facing my backyard.  Even with my windows closed and TV turned on with high volume, I can feel the windows vibrating and definitely the noise they create. 

 

I wanted to approach these men to politely request to turn it down a bit, but these are not the approachable neighborly people that you would hope for.  These are rowdy men with tatoos with beer on one hand and drill bit on another hand.  A single woman in her 50's like me will have second thoughts approaching these people. 

 

I was able to talk to the landlord and she said that I am complaining too much.  I inquired about this with the police department and they said they have to go by the noise ordinance (noise created between 7am - 9pm is allowed). 

 

Can anyone please help?  This is the first time I have complained about a neighbor and everytime I ask for help it seems that I get to a dead end.
