What can I do when I am disturbed by loud car stereos?
Brooklyn Park ordinance 920.20 prohibits the playing of any radio, tape or disc player, musical instrument, or other sound production device on public or private property in a manner that unreasonably disturbs the peace, quiet, or repose of a person or persons of ordinary sensibility, or is plainly audible at a distance of fifty (50) feet from the device. This includes car stereos and is in effect at all hours. Exceptions are made for amplifying equipment used at events for which permits have been granted, alarms or anti-theft devices, and authorized emergency vehicles. To report violations, call 911. It is helpful if you can provide a description of the car, license plate number, last known location, and direction of travel.
What can I do when I am bothered by loud music in my neighborhood?
The Brooklyn Park Police Department encourages all neighbors, guests, and motorists to be respectful and considerate about the volume of music they play in their homes, yards, and vehicles. When the noise in your neighborhood is bothersome, there are two ordinances which may apply. To report violations, please call 911 when the noise is occurring.
920:15 Loud Noise in Residential Areas. This noise ordinance prohibits noisy parties and gatherings between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. The noise must disturb "the peace, quiet, or repose of persons residing in a residential area" to be a violation. Thus, callers complaining of loud noise will be asked who they are and where they live. Anonymous callers will not receive a police response, as there is no violation if a identifiable resident is not disturbed. The police will usually give a warning on the first call, if the occupants are willing to stop the noise and no other violations are noted. If further calls are received, the resident and/or persons holding the party are usually cited or arrested, and the officers are allowed to order all others present to leave in lieu of being arrested. Don't be hesitant to call again if the first police visit did not stop the excessive noise.
Where do I call if I want to file an animal complaint?
Animal Control in the City of Brooklyn Park is the responsibility of the Police Department. The Community Services Unit is the designated Animal Control Authority. Because these officers are dispatched by Hennepin County Sheriff's Radio, as are Police and Fire Officers, the number to call is 911. There have been many TV shows and newspaper articles nationwide about abuses of the 911 systems. This is not true in Brooklyn Park, if you need any Police, Fire or ambulance service, 911 is the number to call. If your desire is to pass on information that requires no immediate action, or simply ask a question, you may call 763-493-8218. Please leave a detailed message with your name and phone number and we will respond within 24 hours.
