Resident tells council of persistent loud-music nuisance; police and mayor will convene on-site meeting
Summary
A resident described years-long, deliberate loud-music disturbances in his neighborhood and presented video evidence to police; council and the police agreed to arrange a meeting with neighbors to de-escalate and explore enforcement or ordinance options.
Dan Laskowski, a resident who addressed the council during public comment, said a neighbor has played loud music routinely for three years and that efforts to resolve it via police calls have not succeeded. He said he sent video to the police showing the music being turned up when officers approach and that the behavior appears intentional.
"I'm being taunted a little bit. I'm getting a little bit annoyed," Laskowski said during his remarks. Council members and the police discussed procedural options, including tightening the noise ordinance, exploring nuisance rules, and arranging an in-person meeting among the resident, the neighbor and the police to de-escalate tensions. Sergeant Riley and council agreed to coordinate a meeting at borough hall and requested the resident provide video evidence for the session.
