The Raleigh Police Department is aware of the situation at the location. Of course the police are obligated by due diligence in enforcing the law and do not have unilateral authority to close a business as suggested by the commentary above.

We will ask RPD for an update on law enforcement activity in this location.

The Raleigh Police Department responded to nine calls pertaining to music at clubs located on Paula Street from 10/11/2014 to 12/26/2014. One club was cited for a civil violation of the noise ordinance in this period. For the remaining occasions, officers did not note a violation.

Two additional music calls were attributed to a garage on Paula Street on the same day. On the second call, the issue was resolved.

Unfortunately, there can be a delay from a call to the police about loud music to the time an officer is able to respond. This delay is explained by prioritization of calls; a common practice by police departments around the country. For example, officers would respond to a domestic call before a loud music call. While we realize that quality of life issues such as noise pollution are important, police are first required to respond to calls where the safety of citizens may be in jeopardy.
Officers in the North District will continue to monitor the noise levels in this area and will take enforcement action when possible.
