  They obviously have no respect for other people living in the neighborhood. It’s a nice, quiet (except for traffic) neighborhood. The partying every week is getting old, and it’s not even a college house. It’s being used as a party house by people who don’t live there and it’s happening most every weekend. Quiet during the week. Then a bunch of cars, some with out of state plates “show up” most every weekend. This is what the neighborhood is dealing with - flood lights, volley ball in the front yard long after dark (which is made possible by the flood lights), loud music, people passed out in cars, urinating on the property, burning building materials in barrels, dumping trash/material that can’t be burned in the side yard, driving over the curb and sidewalks to park where there is no driveway, using the old Flips as a pool hall, equipped with a disco ball. The volleyball thing is dangerous too. I’ve seen it hit toward the street and almost hit cars, and also roll out in the street. Curious what can be done to stop this.

  As someone in the neighborhood, the above comment on this situation explains it all. The flood lights, the music blasting, the volleyball going in the road. EVERY WEEKEND.

  Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have received several complaints over the past few weeks regarding this property. The police are responding to the address when complaints are made and evaluating the level of noise, the activities taking place, and the general “reasonableness” of the gatherings. In situations such as these the police work with the residents to come to a resolution which respects the rights of a homeowner to use their property for their enjoyment while also not infringing on the rights of neighbors to live in peace. We are working to do just that.

  If there is activity taking place at this residence, or any other place, that you feel is unreasonable for the time of day, please call the Westfield Police at 413-562-5411 while it is happening so an officer can respond to evaluate the situation. If enforcement action is deemed necessary, we base our decisions on the City of Westfield Noise Ordinance, Chapter 10 Section 33, or in extreme cases the Nuisance House Ordinance Chapter 10 Section 28.

  Good afternoon, I appreciate the response when this was first posted but the problem has begun again now that the weather is better. Every weekend a pig roast with 30 people occur and the music plays until midnight or later. Even with my windows shut and air on we can hear every song like it’s in our house. We’ve call none emergency a few times now always a prompt response from Westfield pd but the next days it’s the same thing all over again. Unsure where else to go with this issue.

  Completely agree. This is getting old and we are only a few weeks into summer. Can WPD patrol the neighborhood more often Friday, Saturday, and Sunday?

  Just another neighbor who can hear the music and constant noise like it’s IN MY HOME.
  It goes well past Midnight most weekends.

  As noted in one neighbors post from 7/5 neighbors have tried this approach, but it hasn’t helped to resolve the situation. It helps temporarily, then the issue surfaces again.

  I'm not saying the music isn't loud. But let the people live. Who cares about the flood lights and them playing volleyball.
