Noise Complaints & Parties

Noise complaints are the number one conflict between neighbors: music, parties, children playing, a barking dog, or a neighbor's air conditioning. The problem for the accused owner is that the administration often acts based solely on the complaint, without measurement or verification, and fines accumulate "per event." It also happens the other way around: you suffer from the noise and the administration does not act. It is extremely common in buildings with thin walls and unclear quiet hours. Successful resolutions are based on facts: exact times, logs, mediation between the parties, and demanding that any sanction rests on evidence and the rule as it is written. On this page (free), we provide an overview of how these complaints are typically handled. As a member of Mi Junta ($29 per month, covers all categories), you receive help documenting your case, drafting formal responses or claims, learning about applicable rules, and support in mediations and hearings.
