Hi Officer Michelle- I just signed up to Sac. press after reading your posts. I performed a google search because I am having major...I mean MAJOR issues with neighbors directly across the street. I just purchased my first home...which is both a stressful and joyous occassion in most peoples' lives! However, my home purchase is causing more stress than anyone should have to take.
I have only lived here a month and have had the rude awakening to the constant partying, playing pool at the pool table, drug dealing, gang-type hoodlums hanging out, etc. etc. on a daily basis weekdays and all day on weekends. I have called the non-emerg police a couple of times already to break up the bar scene after 10PM on weeknights, which they have complied too. I have reported the suspicious activity to your online site and also many code violations (besides the noise) to the city code enforcers. But the activity continues and right now, since 3PM today (Saturday), they have about 10 people out on the lawn and in the garage drinking 40oz. and partying. It's like living across from a constant bar/frat house/gang hangout and I'm already tired of it.
I wanted to see if I could get some help from you and maybe some of these other citizens. Obviously, I am worried about retaliation from these people and have talked to a couple of the other neighbors about it. They have basically given up on complaining and don't seem to know what else to do.
Again, this is my first house and unfortunately, the seller did not disclose her issues with these people to me. Otherwise, I would not have considered this place for a minute! But now I'm "locked in" so-to-speak! Please help! Any advice would be helpful!!
