I've spent a few hours in this zone leveling and just recently experienced my first sand storm. I couldn't see a thing. Somehow found a lost group hunkered down around a tree. The chat was going crazy and laughs were had. What an experience lol.
I live next door to a poorly maintained rental duplex in a gentrifying neighborhood inside a small city. The landlord is an out-of-county preacher who owns a handful of these rundown units in the aea. They are rented out to Mexican immigrants—typically of a large group of young women with kids along with one or two young men who alternate back and forth between the different units and share vehicles.
The driveway is barely 10 feet from my living room window. They have 3 or 4 beaters with modified exhausts running constantly day and night. Every time a car starts, it rattles my entire house. They idle in the driveway for hours, rev the engines, and speed off at all hours—frequently waking me up around 3:00 AM. To make matters worse, they just brought home another vehicle with a modified exhaust.
What I’ve tried so far:
Direct approach: Knocked on the door to talk to them, but no one answers. I've tried this twice while they were home.
Landlord: Reached out multiple times to the owner/preacher, but I’m completely ghosted.
Police: Filed noise complaints with non-emergency when they were revving at 3:00 AM, but nothing came of it.
I'm at my wit's end and sleeping terribly. Moving isn't financially an option right now.
What else can I realistically do here? Since I live so close to them I'm mainly affected and the other neighbors not so much. Are there specific code enforcement, occupancy limit, city ordinance, or legal steps I should take to get the city or landlord to handle this?
TL;DR: Next-door tenants (a group alternating between multiple units owned by an out-of-county preacher) have multiple cars with modified exhausts idling and revving 10 feet from my living room at all hours. Landlord ghosts me and PD isn't helping. What are my legal or municipal options?
Looking for recommendations for a nice restaurant that has some good vegetarian options preferably with a nice view.
