I moved into a really great neighborhood about 2.5 years ago. Everything was great! I love all my neighbors and we're all good friends.
My only HUGE proglem is with the church behind me. They have a basketball court that they use at night now about 3 times a week until 8 or 8:30 PM. Every Friday is skate night. They drag out the ramps and skate unitl 8pm or so. This would not be a problem but I can hear these activities IN MY HOUSE!!!!!
I am not one to take away anyone's fun but I do have to pay to live in my house and I believe that an occaisonal noise is fine but this is getting way too frequent.
The police say they can do nothing. I've asked them nicely via letter to stop making so much noise and to please move the activities into daylight hours instead of night.
I've read that I may be able to take them to small claims and ask for damages for the loss of enjoyment of my property. (I guess the idea is that if they have to write a check they'll be more considerate).
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY THOUGHTS OR IDEAS TO HELP ME?? I am going crazy!!!
Thanks!
