Neighbors are obnoxious in the middle of the night...?

Question

I have the weirdest neighbors. They are loud and They're pigs. This has been going on for many years. Their yard is full of trash and dog p**p and junk. It would be considered unfit by most normal human beings. The other problem is that these people are obnoxious from midnight until 5am nearly every night. (I get up at 4:45 every morning for work, monday - friday) They have Loud TV and loud voices and baby talk and yelling and stupid ignorant babble that makes no sense. The guy has threatened to kill me if I go to the police, I called the police regardless (because the guy is just a total loser) and reported it. The police never got back to me with an update and I never followed up. I've reported them twice now.

Just to give you an idea of how whacko these people are.... I had some friends over several months ago... after the neighbor threatened me... there was a knock on my door, I went and opened the door and there he was. Mr. Disgusting Greasy Hair Fatman Loser Karaoke Business Owner - standing there with several booze bottles in hand, wanting to come in and join my party. I said "no, you are not welcome here... go home" - I realize that wasn't very neighborly, however, death threats aren't either. Anyway, I closed the door, and he stood there listening thru the door as my friends asked with crinkled up noses, "Who was THAT?" - and I said, "That was my psycho neighbor who threatened to kill me earlier this year if I called the police on him for disturbing the peace"... and all of a sudden, we all hear " YOU EFFING C**T! " from outside on my front porch... the guy friends ran towards the door and flung it open and started telling Mr. Disgusting to leave and get out of there, and don't come back....

SO THIS IS WHAT I LIVE NEXT TO.... what can I do? Obviously rules do not apply to this guy and the police haven't done squat... What is my next step? Tony Soprano?

Answer 1

1. File a complaint for the death threat with your PD.

2. File complaint with your Code Enforcement department for the trash, junk, etc.

3. File a complaint in your municipal courts for the noise violations each and every time they occur. This may mean calling the police to document the violations.

4. Contact a local shelter or women's center about getting a restraining order against the guy.

5. Determine if they own the house or not. You may be able to contact the actual owner to communicant with them the problems.

Answer 2

i guess you could file charges for threats to kill..if you realy think you are in danger..but you still have to live next door, that could be dangerous..looks like the cops are gonna wait till he hurts you to do anything. maybe you could try the board of health if it's as disgusting as you say. but you might have to try to just ignore the noise..if you get a letter of disinvitation(a form at the police station)..it isnt a retraining order but if he comes on your property after he can be arrested...good luck

Answer 3

First of all, I know you're fed up but if you talk about them like this to the police no wonder they're not acting - you lack credibility. Calm down. Secondly, call your towns compliance officer. There are rules in town for which they're yard can't be a health hazard and the compliance officer can help you with that.

If they continue to violate noise ordinances, get together with your neighbors and call the police. This is not okay. You're entitled to peaceful enjoyment of your property. If you have to videotape, do it but make those complaints because when it comes down to it, you'll need a paper trail.

Answer 4

Keep calling the fuzz.  And report any and all threats or threatening behavior.  If you have to call the cops every day, do it.  It is your right.  

Answer 5

call the police 24/7 saying that your neighbors threaten to kill you.

Answer 6

Ha ha ha....d**n that sucks! do they rent? call their landlord and complain how nasty the yard is. If nothing else, the yard will get cleaned up - and maybe they will get evicted!

Answer 7

To me the problem is as much your fault as it is theirs.  I'd have been repoting them every day if I had to, not just twice!  I'd be complaining to the city hall about how they keep their yard, calling the police for the noise, and I would have gotten a restraining order when he threatened me!  If you aren't willing to do what you need to do, then stop complaining about them!

Answer 8

the only thing you can do is make a record of everything that is anti social go to your police and if they nothing go to your local politician if they do nothing go to the news if they do nothing get a baseball bat and smash his head in it's the only language these people understand!!
