Work continues every day, all day. The noise is the major issue I have.

The person who is working on this as a general contractor working on his own home. If there is a permit issue, he can face fines from the city later down the road following construction, but this is more of a noise annoyance report, as later indicated in comments. The submitter can call the nonemergency police line if they have an ongoing noise complaint issue. The owner of the home is fixing up and otherwise dilapidated house on the street, something which we want to promote rather than inhibit. Furthermore, there is going to be a house built on the lot directly in front of this house so, unfortunately, the noise won't subside anytime soon. Regardless, I'd like to request this report to be closed.

I have nothing against seeing growth in the neighborhood, by all means fix up all the houses ... WITH THE RIGHT PERMITS. The people working in the house aren't "fixing minor issues." Even with the perimeter enclosed, it is clear that there is MAJOR construction going on. Why have procedures for permits then? Let us all build and construct whatever we like and face the fines after the fact! All we ask is that SOMEONE looks into what is going on, make sure that everything is being built up to code, perhaps get a timeline on when construction will be done?! Waking up to hammers and drills on weekends is NOT one of my favorite things.

Leave the guy alone. He is improving the area. People would be happy to pay for permits if codes wasn't such a pain. I worked for a contractor and watched some of these guys in action. Make it easier for people to get the appropriate permits and don't put them through misery if something is wrong. There is a person going around the neighborhood reporting frivolous stuff. Report BIG issues. Someone is painting their house or the grass is one inch over their expectations. I understand the nouse issue and if I'm not mistaken you can make noise up until 10pm. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. There are big issues in the area with slumlords let the city harass them. We don't want those people in this neighborhood.

I think thread is getting off track, because it is important to encourage EVERYONE to report ALL legitimate issues that fall under the purpose of the SeeClickFix program. I understand this report is calling attention to a possible permit issue; I agree we want to make sure the home restoration we are encouraging around the neighborhood is up to code. But subsequent comments make it seem like this report (and a duplicate report) was actually filed for a noise complaint issue, which is not the purpose of SeeClickFix. Regardless, a case is active with the Codes Compliance office so there is nothing left to do but close this report out within the SeeClickFix system. In the future, I suggest noise complaints be called into the Non-emergency police line (727-893-7780). Thank you all for being cooperative neighbors and helping us reach our common goal of creating a great place to live here in Historic Uptown.

Any updates to this?

Thank you for your past submission via SeeClickFix. The City of St Petersburg periodically reviews past reports that are made from citizens within our city limits, and in an effort to clean-up old issues that were resolved some time ago, we are marking as 'closed' those issues that were submitted in the past for which the work has been completed or the issue has otherwise been resolved.

If you think for any reason that the issue you submitted in the past might still be unresolved, please feel free to submit a new report with the SeeClickFix St. Pete website and we will make sure the issue is directed to the appropriate City department to be addressed as soon as possible. If you've already submitted a more current issue report, there is no need to re-open this one.

Thank you again - Sincerely,
Mayor's Action Center
