Can't really answer that but since the ordinance has been given 'teeth' it's more enforceable than ever before. We're hopeful that we CAN get the laws enforced.

Thank you for reporting this inquiry to the City of Hartford 311 Call Center, please refer to case number 37091 to check on the status of your case. A Community Liaison from the Mayor's office will contact you regarding this matter. Thank you!

City of Hartford 311 Call Center

Thank you, 311 call center!

Please post here if you find out about progress on this, Karen.

what is the cost of the ticket if any is issued when this ordinance is broken?

The fine varies depending on what violation is issued. Violation of the Hartford City Noise ordinance (Chapter 23) is a Community Court summons, a fine up to $90.00 or jail up to 25 days. Whereas a motor vehicle or recreational vehicle exceeding maximum noise levesl is a violation of CGS 14-80a which was as of last year a $225.00 fine. One could also be given an infraction for Creating a Public Disturbance which is a fine of $103.00 (53A-181)

Thank you, Tina, for responding with such detailed information.

Please forward this to your elected officials and ask for more enforcement here.

Has anyone from the City taken any steps to investigate and correct this problem? The car radios and motorcycles and noisy mufflers and rumbling speeding trucks are turning a peaceful neighborhood into a nightmare. Please give us a timeframe when this issue will be addressed.

Here's what was posted over one year ago: "Thank you for reporting this inquiry to the City of Hartford 311 Call Center, please refer to case number 37091 to check on the status of your case. A Community Liaison from the Mayor's office will contact you regarding this matter. Thank you!

No one from the Mayor's office has ever contacted us and the issue remains.

New case # for this is 55619

Has the buck been passed?

A phone call to 311 to check on status of this case informs that it has been routed to Constituent Services. The last time that happened (over 1 year ago), it went into the void never to be heard from again.

Anyone paying attention out there?

I found that case #55619 was created and forwarded to Constituent service, I will contact them for a follow up. You can also contact them at 860-757-9524.
Thank you for contacting Hartford's 311

Can we please have contact information if possible for the person whom originally posted this complaint, so that we may have the CSO (community service officer) in that area contact them. They can also contact Thomas Clarke II in constituent services @ 860-757-9522

Thanks
