Thank you for using 311GNV to notify the City of Gainesville of this issue. Can you advise the apartment number of the source of the noise?

#12D. They are currently drunk and smoking while loudly laughing out in the common area in front of the stairs in front of all 3 apartments.

I will forward this information to the officers that regularly patrol this area. It would also be helpful, in an attempt to resolve this problem, if you would continue to report the noise while it is occurring by calling the combined communications center at 955-1818.

Under the noise ordinance, the responding officer needs to be able to hear the noise 200 feet away from the source in order to take action. Sometimes in an apartment setting this is difficult. If someone is willing to be the "complainant" regarding the noise disturbing them than the officer can issued a warning and/or citation based on the "complainant's" testimony. The "complainant" would also be the person that signed the noise warning and/or citation.

My desk number is 393-7602 if you have any other questions or would like to discuss any other possible options toward the resolution of this problem.

This issue will continue to be monitored by Gainesville Police Department and this service request is now closed. If you notice this issue is ongoing or if you identify another issue, please submit additional requests via 311GNV or call the Combined Communications Center at 352-955-1818 while the issuing is occurring. Thank you for helping to make Gainesville a better place to live, work, and play!
