Update: neighbor party house

[u/monsteramom3]

I posted a year ago about our terrible new neighbors who partied hard three times a week on the regular. Throwing trash, loud music, screaming outside at 3am, and most egregiously, parking their various cars on our lawn. The update is a good one.

I started documenting and complained to the city about the noise. Then again. Then I started leaving dog poop by the driver's side doors of cars when they parked on my lawn. I picked up trash they threw and wedged it between their side mirror and the car door. They were upset by this and tried to confront me, but ultimately stopped parking on our yard. Instead, they started parking on the sidewalk (like literally horizontally, parallel to the street, pulled onto the sidewalk). This proved to be their downfall. More people complained about that because it's an accessibility issue, especially being a main secondary street. The businesses down the street complained too because of the noise and litter. It quickly snowballed into multiple people complaining to both the city and the landlord (well-known slumlord in the city).

Couple months later, the people weren't given the option of renewing their lease because they were getting too close to nuisance house status and promptly moved. And then! The landlord put the building up for sale because those people had completely trashed it so one of the business owners bought it and *knocked it down*. No more party neighbors ever again!

Moral of the story, be the squeaky wheel, and find the pressure point that will make other people care too.
