I have reached out to Switchyard Park by phone, by email, by social media MULTIPLE times about the noise levels in switchyard park. I’ve also had to call the non-emergency line to see if the police can do anything. (I didn’t know what else to do.) They agreed the noise was very loud but they couldn’t find employees and the performers had permits, so nothing was done. The officers suggested I reach out to the city council. My mother has MS and has an hard time moving around due to this condition and I have autism amongst other health issues. We are being run out of our house almost every time there are events at switchyard park. I understand it is a community park and I do not have an issue with the music or events. I do not want to ruin anyone’s experience whatsoever. It’s the volume that is the issue. The bass is so high it shakes our house. We didn’t know when we purchased our home this would be so much of an issue, and cannot afford to move. When I complain the noise level goes down for a week or so and then right back up. My own birthday party had to be cancelled early due to no one being able to converse inside. Today I had to arrange for my mother with a DISABILITY to be picked up from our home, due to me being at work, because the noise is so bad she can’t even watch tv with the volume turned up and was extremely agitated by the home shaking. I’m in no way asking to cancel anything. We ourselves enjoy some events at the park. I just feel as if being run out of my own home is unfair, especially when all I want to do is come home from work and relax. We are NOT safe to relax in our own home. Is there any way there can be a noise/bass level set so our neighborhood can rest in peace, in our own homes?

Someone may have called already, but I parked on the second floor of the 4th street parking garage and heard a kitten. The security guard inside the fountain square mall said there’s a kitten stuck in the wall on the second floor and some people have tried getting to it but can’t. I know this might not be a priority but I had to let someone know in case you can get it out.

Multiple properties owned or managed by Brawley: 318, 324, 326 N. Jefferson St. Description of Issue: I am writing to formally report a rapid and severe deterioration of community standards at the newly constructed student housing properties located at the stated location. Despite these $1.5 M properties opening just two weeks ago for the current academic year, they have already devolved into a condition much like that of a blighted community. Specifically, residents have erected unapproved, temporary privacy structures utilizing tarps, wood, and other unpermitted materials. These structures are being used to conceal dubious activities. These makeshift installations present several immediate issues: Visual Blight: The structures degrade the aesthetic standard of the neighborhood and negatively impact surrounding property values. Safety and Code Hazards: Unregulated wooden and tarp structures pose a distinct (fire, safety) hazard and may violate local building and zoning ordinances. Lack of Oversight: The concealment of these areas facilitates behavioral issues that disrupt the peace of the community. Requested Action: The property management company must be notified immediately to take the following corrective actions: Enforce Immediate Removal: Order the swift dismantling and disposal of all temporary tarps, wood structures, and unapproved barriers. Establish Ground Rules: Issue clear, binding community guidelines to all residents regarding acceptable use of outdoor spaces. Implement Enforcement Mechanisms: Outline explicit penalties and swift consequences for any future infractions to maintain the integrity of the property.
