Does Manor Township have a noise ordinance that pertains to barking dogs?
A: Yes, Section 6 B. of the Manor Township Noise Ordinance lists the prohibited acts and a violation of the ordinance lists discusses animals. According to this section the following is declared to be a noise disturbance and therefore is in violation of this chapter: Owning, possessing, harboring, or controlling any animal which howls, barks, or makes other sounds continuously and/or incessantly for a period of 10 minutes or makes such noise intermittently for ½ hour or more to the disturbance of any person at any time of the day or night regardless of whether the animal is situated in or upon private property. However, if the animal is making such noise at a time in which a person is trespassing or threatening to trespass upon the private property in which the animal is situated, this is not a violation of this ordinance.
My neighbor often has loud parties at all hours of the day and night. Is this a violation of the noise ordinance and what is needed to prove the noise complaint?
A. Yes. The noise ordinance Section A states that no person shall make, continue, or cause to be made, or cause to be continued any noise disturbance by any means, nor shall any person suffer, allow, or permit any noise disturbance, by any means, to be made or continued from or at any property, whether public or private, real or personal, that is subject to such person’s right to control. In order for a noise complaint to be found valid the officer must show that the noise disturbs two or more residents who are in general agreement as to the times and durations of the noise. These residents must reside in separate residences including apartments and condominiums located within the same building, located across a property line from the property in which the source of the noise is generated. Or by one resident across a property line in which the source of the noise is generated and is corroborated by the responding police officer.
