I have just asked the SAPD for advice on the laws or rules of downtown noise about the stereros that reverbrate into our homes on the Riverwalk. Mostly this noise is the cruisers up and down Market and Commerce. I live on Villita Street, the 14th floor on the Southside of the building and it is getting more disturbing as time goes by. Please read my request to the SAPD. FYI:
Office Vasquez: I live in the Granada Homes at Villita and S. St. Mary's. I have noticed a lot more noise from those car stereos lately. I am wondering what the rules or laws are. As downtown residents, we love the downtown usual noise and the hubbub, but those stereos reverbrate, are annoying, interrupt us listening to our TV or having decent conversation. They interrupt sleep at night. I have lived here eight years and until recently wasn't so bothered. I know that on nights after winning games or Fiesta or other such good reasons for noise, that it will happen. In fact, I love our downtown for this. I don't want to file a complaint unless I know that there are rules you and I must follow to help enforce them. If there are no rules on noise and disrupting the peace, then I must go to the City Council to get the rules changed. Tell me what I can do as a citizen or what the Downtown Residence Association could do to help our situation, please.
