Write a noise complaint letter

This page is not on the public site yet.

Pick a city and the letter will use that page's quiet hours and code section. Add your name, the address, and the times. You can write a short note to a neighbor, a letter to a landlord, or a letter for an HOA.

Indianapolis, Columbus, Honolulu, Omaha and Louisville state an extra rule about asking the person to stop, or about a warning. When you pick one of those cities, the letter includes one sentence from that page. Other cities do not get that sentence.

This is not legal advice. Read the city page and the official code before you send anything. The complaint letter guide shows the same three tones and what to include. The incident log can drop saved times into the letter. Both stay on this device.

The iPhone app is still the place for a decibel estimate and for vibration. This page only writes the letter.

Questions

Is this legal advice?

No. It is a draft letter you can edit. Check the city code, your lease and any HOA rules before you send it.

Does the letter use my city's real quiet hours?

Yes. It copies the quiet hours and the code section from that city's page on this site. It does not invent a rule.

Do you store what I type?

No. The letter is built in your browser. If you insert incidents from the log, those were already saved only on this device.
