There is no need to suffer from unaccetable noise

People have been emailing CIRG about unacceptable noise again. As residents of City Island, we all live in apartments, and I think we should expect the occasional bit of noise when our neighbours have guests, and are enjoying living in their apartment, and I think we should all be tolerant of this. However, when noise becomes frequent, unacceptable and a problem, there are processes in place to deal with it.

1. In the first instance if it is during Tony’s the concierge’s core hours (9am – 5pm), contact him, who knows all the procedures for dealing with noise problems.

2. Also contact the council on 0845 124 0113 during weekdays, or email env.health@leeds.gov.uk. If the disturbance is during the night or a weekend, ring them on 0113 240 7361. The people who respond to these numbers legally have power of seizure, so if the noise continues after their first visit and they are called out again, they can take the offending stereo equipment away with them.

3. Also, from our meetings with the Police at Milgarth, we have been told that they only require minimal evidence to enforce an ASBO, and if there is more than one person complaining about the one offender, this is more than enough evidence. Contact the Police at Milgarth Police station on 0113 241 3056 and ask for the anti-social behaviour officer.

4. Inform the management company as well on 01274-534-920 so that they are also aware.

5. Finally, whoever you contact also report the incidents to the concierge, as all incidents are logged by Tony and leaseholders are informed that they, or their tenants are in breach of their lease.

if you are suffering music or Karaoke at 4 o’clock in the morning, use the above procedures to do something about it. If you are playing music or Karaoke at 4 o’clock in the morning – watch out for your Karaoke machine and stereo being seized and an ASBO heading your way.
