House Alarms - Noise Pollution
Date: August 15, 2012 07:02AM |
Like me, is anyone else getting a bit peeved at the house alarm which goes off early every Saturday morning (from the end of the Crescent, I believe)? Additionally, a house on the Rise has begun to neglect their alarm also.
What can the Resident's Association do to raise awareness of this ongoing nuisance for all residents?
Perhaps a letter-drop, nicely outlining the nature of the nuisance, and reminding all residents about good house alarm etiquette, ie. Either leave a spare key and alarm code with a neighbour who is home more often than you, or else invest in a monitored house alarm system (eg. Eircom Phonewatch), so that you actually have a house alarm rather than a stupid noise machine.
Perhaps we could also include the following information from the Citizens Information Website:
"Under Irish law, you are entitled to bring complaints about specific neighbourhood noise to the District Court.
Types of noise covered
Noise such as that coming from other homes, workshops or local businesses that is continuous, repeated, loud and occurring at such times and of such duration that it affects the quality of life of the person is covered in Irish law."
