Public Nuisance Report number 1.
The Party People are at it again. Music blasting so loud we had too leave our backyard. Even indoors with windows closed and AC on we can't escape. Party Annex is on Edgewood Mall where a dozen cars are parked (and many more to come). People smoking and drinking publicly.
This may go on till midnight or later, ruining a pleasant summer evening for everyone within a couple blocks radius.
How in hell do they get away with this crap summer after summer? Police patrols have real issues to deal with, I know, but can't SOMEONE make these people stop disturbing the peace of our neighborhood?

People pay taxes to live here and they should not feel like they are not helped out by the people who work for them. Everyone can have a party but the blatant flauting of laws is repugnant. Common courtesy dictates respect for your neighbors.

How optimistic and naive you are, or else just not familiar with this neighborhood. In the first place, most of the party takes place behind a 3-family house in a backyard especially paved over to accommodate the crowd. (The owner is a contractor.) It's a "hollow" square block, in that all the backyards connect and focus the sound so that it's much louder in back than in front. All the bedrooms are in the back part of the houses, so the noise keeps us all awake and annoyed.
When I talk about the "use [of] ... safe public spaces", along the Avenue our houses are on (including my own) there is a wide, grassy strip down the middle, with trees and flower beds, called Edgewood Mall. They park their cars on that grassy strip and use it as an annex for the party. Dozens of cars fill it up till the wee hours. (By the way, these are nice, late-model cars, indicative of some affluence.) These are not poor, homeless people with no place to congregate.
As for talking to them, that was our first tactic when they moved in and began these marathon ear-busting bashes. Early in the evening, when they are relatively sober and/or straight, they would smile and turn the noise down for a while, but it would grow loud again. Later at night, when approached, they get surly, insulting and hostile, genuinely offended that anyone would object to their "fun". Last time I tried to talk to them personally a bunch of them had to physically restrain the owner/host from attacking me for my impertinent request for peace & quiet. I gave up the personal, "good neighbor" strategy and now I just call the police --for all the good that does sometimes.
