Unless you can get a dB reading close to the source you’ll likely get readings that aren’t considered above limits. Again, none of it applies unless the offender lives within city limits. His dorm neighbors were baseball players, loud music and parties late into the night.
We are confronted here with a very narrow legislative distinction. The question, therefore, is whether or not this classification or distinction is reasonable in light of the purpose of the ordinance. Jim Stansbury, representing the homeowners' association at Hillcrest, said the organization has taken steps to improve the neighborhood, including calling parish code enforcement about blighted properties.

Our agency has one decibel meter that resides in a closet at the station, and usually only gets broken out on repeated complaints. Then, someone has to know how to properly adjust it to the settings specified in the ordinance to get the correct reading. No one has seen the instruction manual in years, but it's fairly intuitive if you fiddle around with it a bit. Instead of repeatedly call the law down on him , maybe try to befriend him ... Sometimes they don't realize how loud they are or what time it is .
The ordinance for the French Quarter lists the level as 10 decibels above the ambient noise level or 60 decibels, whichever is higher. It was common for people who recently moved in to call and place a noise complaint. It usually sat in the stack until all the other calls were taken care of. There were many a morning when 5 hour old noise complaints were on the backlog for the day shift coming on at 7ish. "We're not planning on bringing the neighborhood down," she said of their plans to put a mobile home on the lot. Two other residents also argued that more mobile homes would have a negative effect on Hillcrest.
Public Meetings
Upon a review of the memoranda, the depositions and the record in this matter, the Court finds that there exists an issue of material fact as to plaintiffs' claims for relief based on anti-trust violations. Accordingly, summary judgment as to these claims is DENIED. However, the Court finds that there is no genuine issue of material fact as to the plaintiffs' claims for relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. For the reasons which follow, plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment as to their § 1983 claim is GRANTED; and the defendant's motion for summary judgment as to the § 1983 claims is DENIED. I’m wondering whether or not the guy lives within city limits of a township.
The St. Tammany Parish Council adopted the North East Area Zoning Map, Mobile Home Overlay Map, and Rural Overlay Map at the April 1, 2010 Council meeting. The Zoning, Mobile Home Overlay, and Rural Overlay Maps became effective April 16, 2010. The St. Tammany Parish Council adopted the North West Area Zoning Map, Mobile Home Overlay Map, and Rural Overlay Map at the April 1, 2010 Council meeting.
December Special Council Meeting Notice
He asked the commission to block additional mobile homes in the subdivision so it can develop as a traditional neighborhood. Additional mobile homes will harm property values, he said. Your meter readings will not stand up in court but will help very much when dealing with the authorities. Make complaints only when you get very high readings, not the nights where you get borderline readings. It helps greatly to get higher officials involved as the guy in the squad car probably has more serious issues to deal with.
Another guy called about 0645, asking to speak to an officer about a noise complaint at his house, but he was already having breakfast at a local restaurant and wanted an officer to meet him there. He called several times thereafter until an officer was close enough to locate the offending truck and summons the poor driver who was just out trying to make a buck at a crappy job. I even had to answer one in my own neighborhood about construction crews trying to get a jump on the summer heat by starting a little early, again just a short amount of time before 0600, when they were building some of the last homes in the neighborhood. I'd been on night shifts when we moved into our house, one of the first dozen built, and put up with all kinds of construction noise, and told the guy that his neighbors put up with the same when they were building HIS house. I mean, you know that's only a temporary thing, I just can't see how some people get their knickers in such a twist over things like that.
Although the parties disagree over the application of the term "manufactured home" or "mobile home" to the structure in question, we will use the term mobile home to refer to the type of structure in question. A friend is having an issue with his neighbor who plays occasionally plays music real loud and late into the night. Mackie said mobile homes are highly discouraged in the incorporated areas of the parish and he could not bring himself to approve the zoning change.

And the cops would need to have a calibrated noise meter. They won't use a phone app because their phone then becomes evidence and can be requested by the defense attorney. Departments aren't going to buy enough noise meters for every officer or even every car.
I know it's fashionable to hammer guys like him down with brute force but my Dad always tried to kill them with kindness . He would go over and talk , bring extra stuff from his garden , talk kindly, do little things for him and treat the guy with some respect ... After awhile the "loud" neighbor stopped being troublesome and became friendly to us . They would like to put a $90,000 mobile home, or manufactured home, on the land, which is flanked on both sides by mobile homes, she said. The home will not be "a piece of trash," she said.
There are subdivisions that fall outside the Corp limit where you’d think it would be insane to fire a handgun in a backyard, but when reported and investigated, no laws were found to be broken.

NOTES Because neither party has set forth any facts showing or denying the existence of a contract or a conspiracy, as required by 15 U.S.C. § 1, the anti-trust claim is not ripe, at this juncture, for summary judgment. Noise ordinances are easy to define but difficult to enforce.
To determine the sound level, three readings will be taken at the complainant’s dwelling or structure and the mean of these readings will determine the actual decibel count. The subdivision is primarily composed of mobile homes that have been grandfathered in, according to the zoning staff, which had no objection to Sercovich's request. This matter is before the Court on the motion of defendant, Parish of St. Tammany, for summary judgment as to plaintiff's claims regarding violation of federal antitrust laws and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment as to their claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Neither party has addressed the plaintiffs' claims regarding federal preemption of the Parish's ordinance.
An attempt at a civil resolution may work quicker and easier than sending the cops to his house. Nope, just called the cops looking to have the hammer dropped on someone. The St. Tammany Parish Zoning Commission has approved a zoning change that would allow another mobile home in the Hillcrest subdivision near Abita Springs, despite a plea from a homeowners' association representative that no more trailers be allowed. The commission voted 7-1 on Tuesday night to approve Joan Sercovich's request to add a Manufactured Housing Overlay designation to her Eagle Street lot, which is zoned Suburban District. The change would allow her to place a mobile home on the property.
