What is the name of your state? FL
I moved into my home about a year ago. The second day there, I almost believed Florida was having an earthquake! My windows were shaking and the dishes in the sink were rattling. That was how I met my next door neighbors. I went outside to ask them to turn the bass down, to which they replied "no, it's our home/property, we can do as we please."
After a month or so, I called the cops for the first time. That day, the officer came out, spoke to my neighbors and had been gone no more than 15 minutes when it started again. I called the police again, a 2nd officer came out and finally we had peace for that evening. Over the following month, I called the police 3 seperate occasions. When the problem didn't get solve, I just started avoiding my home.
My stepson just came to live with us in August. (I have another post in family law about our custody situation). He complains when he is home about the bass, saying it gives him a headache and he can't concentrate. I completely agree with my stepson! However, I can not just leave as I used to so I now make daily trips out over to my neighbors house to ask them to turn it down, sometimes 3-4 times a day/night.
The reason I am writing is that I just received a letter from my stepson's mom saying that she's concerned about the well-being of her son since he talks about our neighbors when he sees her. My husband is hoping to file for custody soon (there is no legal custody arrangement and he has gotten in touch with a lawyer to persue legalization). We are scared out of our mind that she will hold this against us. Is there anything we can do legally about our neighbors to prevent them from playing their bass so loud?
