Description
My neighbor at 6940 31st ter n has a 24/7 basketball court along with balls available on the street to whoever. I have not been strict about all the kids coming to play, but now they show up wvery day. they do not live here. Sometimes they come at 1:00AM in the morning. There have been beer bottles in my bushes. Now I had asked the kids not to play one evening because my wife was ill and the basketball is right outside my bedroom windows. They proceeded to ridicule me and I had to contact one of the parents. But this must stop. I have been told this is a code violation and the neighbor had to remove this once before.
