View Full Version : Neighbours - Any non-confrontational options?

Heres the story:

New neighbours have moved in and are driving me to despair. They have been there a week and last Wednesday they were partying until 3am. OK thought I they have just moved in and celebrating. Never had any trouble around here before so its proabably a one off.

Friday night. The language was even too much for me - I thought I was back in Sarf Auckland. The young drunks in the street exclaiming how big their dicks are and what they could do with them was somewhat amusing for the first hour but....... A brawl started and I phoned the police. They turned up with a wagon and dog handler and were abused but left as it had kind of quietened down. They were still going at 4am.

Now last night they were still going at 2am. On the weekend they had visitors who had dogs on the loose. There were 3 and two appeared to be part pitbull but I cant be sure. I went to shoo them away and one turned and barked at me - in my own back yard. I decided it best not to progress any further. My cat meanwhile had headed for the hills.

It is now starting to affect my work as my lack of sleep means I am even more grumpy than usual and snapping at my staff and making mistakes.

I did a search on the property to try and track down the owner but he isnt listed (I am pretty sure he has rented to his friends). Tried to track his registration but I seem to have written it down incorrectly. Checked out the Council web site and cant find any legal solutions. As it is more raised voices and abusive language there is no point in calling noise control.

I live alone and am not keen on starting any crazy feud but am lost as to what I can do? Any of you lot got any suggestions that can help?

No I am not brave enough to go knock on the door as there seems to be a heck of a lot of them and I dont want to start anything that could escalate to a battle from hell

Feel your pain,hard to suggest a non confrontational way of going about solving the problem other than going and knocking on the door and asking them to tone it down,if that doesnt work how about going round the other neighbours and if they feel the same way confronting them as a group.

buy an air horn (safety shop) ... used as an evacuation alert ... point it over the fence ... keep your finger on the trigger and watch their brains turn mushy (or is that mushier)... every time it gets loud again ... give them another blast.... words not required

Not quite so buddy you are in luck

Noise control can give a ticket for "excessive people noise"

a mate got one when we were all on the piss once, him yelling his arse off....and noise control slapped him in the face with a $500 fine...

call them next time....

good luck aye, just dont let them find out its you...yet. :Punk:

hope that helps buddy.

You could make a complaint to noise control every time they're making excessively loud and long noise...or trying having a low key chat to your local Police station.

Not good stuff my dear, noisy neighbors suck!!

I dont want to become a PinkHogGirl neighbour calling noise control and wasting police time whenever a door slams.

There's nothing you can do without getting conrontational or calling the authorities. So calling the authorities is the way to go. They obviously know where you live so it's important that they never find out who called the authorities or you could become a victim of much unpleasantness.

Personally if a dog comes onto my property I would just kill it - I don't have a gun but grabbing its fore paws abd wrenching it's ribcage apart seems to do the trick (I really really hate dogs in case you can't tell :rofl:).

Best of luck - I had similar noise problems in Glasgow 10 years ago - but that was in a Tenement block.

I'd try a bit harder with tracking down the landlord. Also, I'd ring noise control after 11pm. I think that's the time major noise is supposed to be toned down. Otherwise just keep ringing the cops when things get wild.:2guns:

Which of course you are not! I had reason to go and talk to our neighbours a while ago for keeping us awake till 4am on a week night, when I saw them gathering the next night with drinks on the front deck as dusk fell. I was not confrontational, just rocked up with a smile and asked if they were aware that our bedroom was right there, and where they aware how far voices carried at night. It was fine.

By yourself is difficult. If you have been disturbed, chances are the rest of the neighbourhood has been too. Go pay a discreet
visit to the other neighbours, get a plan and approach in a friendly manner the first time. Many voices are louder than one, and far less likely to bring any retribution on you too.

PM me the addy mate, I may of may not be able to find the owner for you, and then you guys (one of the others will stand up for the group I am sure) can complain to them too.

If they are tenants the law covers disturbance of the neighbours, and is grounds for termination of the tenancy.

Good luck girl!

Actually you can ring noise control anytime if it's bad. That's what they are for, you pay them with your rates to deal with exactly this situation. Animal control too.

Take a photo of the unrestrained dog.

Eat lots of muesli, do a big poo in an envelope, put it in their letterbox with the photo when they are asleep, be sure and mark it return to sender, you'll feel better.

Hey, this isn't good. I would say that you do need to be brave and go and have a nice friendly chat about the 'after reasonable hours' noise. It's not that hard and I suspect that they will not be aware of the impact they are having on the neighbourhood. Good luck :-)

oh no mate - feel your pain!! you poor bugger.

ok, so, def call noise control (as already suggested). They will most def respond to raised voices etc after 10/11pm...was at a mates recently, barbecue outside, quite a few people, no music, noise control turned up n we were told to move inside or formal something or other would be taken against leaseholder of property.

secondly, def understand what you're saying about being single girl, living alone etc...again I second what someone else suggested - low key chat to local po-lice, make sure you mention occupants seem to be junkies, lots of diff folks going in day n night etc...

thirdly, loose dogs. council or spca. unregistered etc, roaming streets. if nothing else they'll come n have a look, leave a calling card/warning note etc.

lastly, great idea about tracking down landlord etc. Not sure about how you could go about it, but def a great idea, as I can't imagine any landlord (even if they know the occupants) would be over the moon about junkies/losers living in/wrecking the house?

PS: when approaching the various agencies, I'd give as much detail as you can (i.e more incentive for them to come to your assistance). In terms of approaching the noisy neighbours directly, from the situ u've described, since they clearly don't earn their living in a conventional way, it's unlikely they'd be sympathetic to your issues around sleep, fatigue n adverse impact of their noise on your ability to function at work..

....n if all else fails, maybe start "storing" your household rubbish or create a really foul smelling compost on your section - as close to their property as you can...or get outside at 7am on the weekends, n play country n western or church sermons as loud as you can...bag up dog shit in brown paper bags, set them on fire n lob em at the house? :laugh:

Invite the local HOG chapter round for a Barbie. Scare 'em with your tough mates.

I suspect a quiet word with the local constabulary may be the way to go, they might already be looking at them for something, and need some extra encouragement.

hate to tell you this but we have the neighbours from hell across the road, took 2 years, smashed fences aftera brawl and someone getting bottled before all the neighbours rang the tenancy agent and they were turfed out. ring the council and document everything. the council have to keep details confidential. you can ring as soon as the noise starts and after 11pm they will enforce a noise order, if they come out again they will be fined and they can impound the stereo, but at least it will stop before too late at night.
put the hose on the dogs, you could also decide to mow your lawn really early the next day after the noise.

Don't do anything stupid...it's stupid.I've ripped fuses out of fuse boxes and thrown them away....turned the hose on into open car windows.VERY dangerous acts if you are my size....and they are their size.Think rationally.

For our neighbours who fortunately only fight and scream at each other - we ring the landlord (HNZ),put the phone out the window so they can hear it too.Then they ring the police and noise control.We log all episodes for hopefully later use.HNZ want them out,but have to build a case.The dog hung itself on our side of the fence and stayed there all day,so that problem solved itself.

But who will we get next....this lot aren't too bad apart from the violence to themselves.

If all legal methods fail, and they shouldn´t, then your neighborhood probably isn´t worth it. Getting good ¨help¨ outside of the law can be expensive, unless you have rellies or similar, though I guess you wouldn't be posting here if you did. So perhaps just move on out, either way, it will cost ya which really sucks I know.
So keep hammering the legal side of things, make lotsa noise with yer local council and, if no joy, keep climbing the ladder right to wellington if you have too.

The problem is that now Housing Corp. rent houses in all areas. It is not that rare in our district to have 3 families of shitbags living in a house worth over $750K.

We have had problems with noisy neighbours in the past. What we found worked was watch them for a while to find out a weak point and use it against them. One lot were shit scared of 'Auntie' but when her back was turned they behaved like farm animals, partying from Thursday until when the piss/money ran out (usually Sunday). One day after a party I stopped Auntie outside the place and showed her some video of the latest performance. Footage included noise control arguing with the tenants, the cops being called and a fight in the street.

Within an hour she and her boys had thrown the furniture onto the front lawn and the house lay empty for 3 months. Bliss.

Just a tip - write on the envelope before inserting the faeces - it won't squirt out from the top of the envelope. And it goes without saying don't lick the envelope glue strip when it's full of shit, use a moistened old sponge or something similar.

Our neighbours were away and their teenage son invited 'about 15' people around but of course shitloads more turned up uninvited. I was woken up at about 1am by a girl screaming "don't you touch me, don't you fucken touch me" and a guy was screaming equally loudly back at her. Cars everywhere, about a dozen kids all over the road and someone doing burnouts. The police arrived a short time later but nothing changed and it was about 2.30am when the noise stopped. I could hear what sounded like a plastic letterbox being mucked around with, but when a car headlight shone along the road (pitch dark in the country), ours was still standing. Went out about 6.30am to find our DomPost sign ripped off (had been screwed into the pole with two huge screws) and thrown up the next door neighbour's drive, along with a pile of condom wrappers and used condoms. Broken beer bottles all over their gravel and more stuff dumped in the culvert. I sent the neighbour a text (only have cell number for them) to warn about broken glass and saw her come out about 9am and survey the damage. She rang a short time later and asked what she should do (her husband is a sharemilker and wasn't home yet) and I said I would make them come over and clean it up, which she must have done as two guys came over and started picking up the glass. I was so wild I went out, waving my DomPost sign and said I was not impressed and got the old story of "but it wasn't me, it was these people who I didn't know and I was trying to get them to leave when the police arrived" but I just said that was too bad, I'd taken photos of the damage and would be having a chat with his parents when they got home. Also told him to tell whoever his mate was with the red car who arrives with the stereo blasting out no matter what time of the day or night to cut it out. Guy with him didn't say a word, but a few minutes later a very quiet red car left their place so I'd say it was his! They have been there two years and we've had no trouble with them until the past few weeks. I said as far as we were concerned, if his friends - or friends of theirs - were going to come out here and cause trouble, he was going to end up with a pile of pissed off neighbours. I think the message got through this time and I felt a hell of a lot better for telling him off!

Made his mate pick up the used condoms too, as he was about to leave them there, but that was the main reason the woman next door wasn't happy as she has kids.

Hey MadDuck - seriously - ever thought of getting Greenacres to come and mow your lawns?... Early on a Sunday morning?

Tell him to come early Sunday morning (or whenever will be MOST painful for them) and tell tham "Not my fault you're all awake - this is the only time the dude said he could do it"

Might be $40 very well spent...

Yep know all about renters, in 6 years we have had five lots and they have all been bad, the latest stated out cronic, loud stereo's and heavy bass shit till all hours..

Our experience of approaching neighbours has always been bad as they play on the information..

Only myself and wife doing battle with a bunch of young thugs..So we put up with these mutts and their party's and heavy bass for almost a month then I had had enough, came home with a large plastic 44 gallon drum cut one end out and faced it across the boundary, I sit on this while having a can of beer in the other hand I have a large thick stick now I don't have to hit this hard but boy does let out a massive BOOM and I play away whilst having a couple of slow cans, our problem has almost gone it is a lot quieter now, just hope it stays that way, seen too much life to put up with crapp from those with no values..

Hope it all comes good for you....:soon:

Further to the party on Saturday night, I spoke to his mother yesterday and she had already heard from all the other neighbours and her son had given her his version too. Apparently they had some fireworks on Friday night - we could hear what sounded like small gun shots for ages but figured it was someone out shooting rabbits or something. The neighbour across the road had called and left a message on their answerphone about the noise on Friday, but she didn't know the full story of Saturday night/Sunday morning. She wasn't very impressed when she heard what had been going on, and also the fact she'd left one of the guys who works for them in charge. A while back they went to the rugby in Wellington and this group turned up and when asked to leave they kicked over a pile of newly planted trees and damaged his car.

The kid is in his last year of school and is heading off to uni next year and she said they have pretty much finished for the year so all his mates want to do is head out to their place and muck around. I said carloads of them turn up all during the day and turn the stereo up full blast and as I worked from home, I was getting bloody sick of it. She gave me her cellphone number and said if there was ANY noise during the day, to ring or text her and she would sort it out.

Last night was the quietest it's been out here for about a year! The son's car went out and back in once, and there were NO other vehicles there once the parents got home after work. Every vehicle that did go in or out before then was driving very sedately and there was no thumping stereo either.

We didn't think the parents would react any differently but we were pleased that they didn't let us down and fly off the handle. It's usually a matter of kids acting like shits because that's what his parents are like too.

I'd say this kid has had his wings clipped and I look forward to life being nice and quiet again!

Well when I headed off down to Auckland today about 10.30am in my street I saw the Police Wagon and a fair number of police. Didnt think much about it to be honest as I had people to meet and places to be.

But on TV News tonight. Yep there we were in little old Stanmore Bay.

Not my neighbours but appears there was some kind of 'suspected' pipe bomb and a car that had no brakes...all a bit confusing. Think its time I moved back to GI ah?

I had a similar situation years ago ...... i was at the end of my leash and none of my calls to the council or anything worked in my favour so i thought , sort it out myself or put up with it.

Went over and asked them to settle down at a reasonable hour or i would have to quite my job as a dynamite specialist due to lack of sleep and safety.
They had a wee chuckle at me and the next night they fizzed up again,
I yelled over the fence to calm down or i would have to come over there and sort them, they again chuckled and i thought , rite you assholes , time for some fun.
I waited till about 1.00 am that night and as it was now really dark and they were all in the yard leering up loud , i started to lob large coke bottle dry ice bombs strategically over the fence. They ran down the drive , i lobbed one that way , they ran back to the back yard and i lobbed one that way.
As they thought i was a dynamite specialist i suppose its fair to assume they thought i was lobbing sticks at them . Cant they understand thats illegal. ??.

Anyhow , they were such nice boys after that and even came to let me know if they were going to have a couple of mates round and they promised to be quiet and orderly.
I just love it when a plan comes together and alls well in paradise .
Ahhhhh memories.

Locate your friendly local Mongrel Mob chapter. Meet them for a chat and find the 2 biggest most intimidating members. Offer them $100 each to come with you and "chat" with the neighbors. I am sure they would be delighted to help.

Ring your neighbors doorbell and voice your concerns, keeping your Mongrel Mob friends out of sight. If you get eny lip from them whatsoever and anything other than 100% cooperation tell them that your friends will be very disappointed to hear that they are not cooperating. Call your "friends" over. They should then do their job and scare the crap out of your neighbors. Finish the job by saying that next time your friends will have to be less polite and they will be forced to "deal with" the situation...

I reckon it's worth $200...

I will continue to update this thread as it is a record of the things going on and could be helpful later...bear with me.

Two of the neighbours went and complained to the local police. I got the response "nothing we can do" the other neighbour got "house is known nothing we can do".

So I can watch a house get trashed and do nothing because it is rented out....I can see them smoking dope with a child in the house...and there is nothing I can do.....so when something goes wrong and the NZ public say ...why didnt you do something...do i feel better saying well I tried?

SARGE
21st November 2008, 23:31
..I can see them smoking dope with a child in the house...and there is nothing I can do.....

take pics ...call CYPS.. the more agencies that get involved .. the harder the douchbags lives get .. keep noise control on speed dial .. call the council about "weird odors" and trash laying around ..get with the neighbors to call at random about "screams and crashes" in the house ..then mention about noticing a big increase in traffic that stays for about 5 minutes and leaves ..


use your imagination .pull out the 'ole phone book and open it up to the yellow pages. Now, starting from the letter "A" and working all the way to "Z" call up every single business in the book. Set up an appointment with every company in there for (example) Wednesday morning at about 10:00. Give yourself a few days to do it all and get all the appointment as close together as you can.

You can probably see what's going to happen. Wednesday morning at 10:00 his street is going to be totally filled up with a truck from every business in the entire area. From exterminators to furnace repair to roofing estimates, they'll all be there asking for the douchbag. (Try to make sure he's going to be home when they come.)

On Wednesday morning you'll want to make some calls. At 9:30 call up every pizza delivery place in the area and have a couple large pizzas sent to them. After that, call up all the taxi cabs and instruct them to come to thier house to take him shopping.


Call his local locksmith(s). "Yes, I locked myself out of my house, and I am waiting at my neighbors, could you get here as soon as possible?" Each locksmith will charge just for showing up (usually a hefty fee in itself).

One addition to Sarge's suggestions -

Post adverts in the local newspaper for:

Garage sale at your neighbours' (7.00am start) with a selection of car and bike parts, metal CDs, old leather jackets, and as many other articles to attract Boguns and assorted scumbags as you can think of.

Demolition materials - pick up from.....

Pit bull cross puppies - cheap

Adult services phone .....

Etc

Adverts anonymously placed and paid for in cash (unless you can arrange charge to said neighbours).

That should provide some entertainment :clap:

Get that property manager on your speed dial too, an email addy would be helpful too. Just keep sending email and phoning her every time you see something, she will have no choice but to act. Your complaints will form the basis of her case to get them evicted.

We're going through a similar thing with one of our neighbours at the moment. We've got a father and his late teens/20-something son living next door. The fathers girlfriend lives in Tairua so he buggers off every weekend leaving his son in charge of the house. The son is the most inconsiderate bastard I've ever encountered and I'd love to use some of Sarge's suggestions on him!

When these people first moved in, the son would park his poxy Honda Civic at the bottom of the drive and leave his stereo going so loud that it drowned out the TV in our lounge. They also partied until early hours of the morning on a Monday and Tuesday night.

Every weekend when the father goes away to his girlfriend's, the son invites his mates around and instead of singing along to music, they YELL the chorus and stomp their feet. We regularly hear revolting language, brawls between wannabe staunch males, and the son and his girlfriend have broken up twice via midnight screaming matches resulting in him throwing her stuff outside. This all happens right below our bedroom window.

A few weeks ago hubby went outside in the middle of the night and told him to shut the fuck up because they'd kept us awake the previous weekend. Little C*nt (as he's not so fondly known) came over and rattled our windows to retaliate, knowing that we'd been burgled only a week before and they'd come in through one of the windows. He also had great delight standing on our driveway (which is right beside his, but without any fences separating the two), pointing at the goodies in our garage, telling his mate about what has been stolen from our house, and how our new security measures can easily be bypassed.

We came home today to find our hose fitting lying on the ground. The hose has been cut and a length of it's now gone. Little C*nt is fixing his poxy Civic and I'm guessing he needed a hose for something so decided to steal some of mine. Other than Cajun telling him to shut the fuck up, we've never really spoken to him. Oh except the day I came home early to find his car parked on my driveway, blocking the entrance to my section, so I couldn't even get into my own garage. All I said to him was "Can you move your car off my drive thanks" so I don't understand why he's such a malicious fuckwit.

We've spoken to the father about his behaviour twice and he says "I'll talk to him", but nothing has improved. We're in the same situation as Maduck where we own the house so can't just uproot.

now these are very good ideas, and i have noted them duley
but the noise thing your not taking to the right level
pulse jets are good for lots of noise:rockon:
we have a neighbour who is similar to motogirls
but they do the massive 100 people parties to 4am aswell
so at 5am after one of these parties, we got our stationary pulse jet and pointed it at there house, left it running for ten minutes
no more problems

not unsimilar to this jet infact

Well it has been rather quiet last week or so and I am guessing they had an inspection as they cleaned up all the rubbish....the back section is a lot of bush and it appears we now have our own neighbour tip beginning to take shape where the agent probably wont see it.

They have now decided to light a fire and the smoke would give me just cause to call the fire department just to get at them. Unfortunately our fire service are all volunteers and I would feel bad about dragging them away from their families. There are restrictions due to us being on tank water so tomorrow yet another call to council.

Progress report for the weekend.

Friday night the music started at 10pm. The girls 21st so I knew we were in for a long night. I phoned Noise Control so the next call would be actioned quickly. Now I find out that NC actually sit on the street and decide if the noise is a nuisance enough to act. Given we live well off the street...you guessed it! When I rang at 3.30am and the guy said they had been to the property several times and had no problem....umm I think I swore at him :whistle:

Last night I had cause for concern about the well being of the child in the house and phoned Mr Plod. They arrested 2 of them who had outstanding warrents :eek5:. Kid was fine. BUT the policeman came up my driveway in full view of those arrested to give me the good news....the blimmin plonker! Now they know it was me made the call and i live alone :angry2:

I got hold of the owner in Japan and he has tried the police, WINZ and CYFS but is getting no where. He has asked me to place a notice on their door giving them 10 days to pay the rent arrears or face eviction. Now I am no way brave enough to go do this so am not sure what to do next. Maybe get a security firm to do it for me. If they see me or one of the neighbours we may be setting ourselves up for "revenge attacks".

Maybe I shouldnt have threatened to shoot their dogs as well :bash: but it felt good at the time. Meanwhile I will take Sarges advise and start at the A's in the Yellow Pages

I have to give a huge thanks to a KBer who went and handed the notice to my dope head neighbours.

I guess now we wait.

My boss is going to go up to the local cop shop and have a quiet chat to them. Doubt it will do any good but you never know. Its a situation that has me on edge as I wonder all day what I will come home to face. Lack of sleep is also not doing me any good.

One good outcome is that every one else in the street is now on first name terms and all looking out for each other.

I am in the process of making rather a lot of calls to a lot of services :2guns:

Apply in their name for an American Express Credit card. They will get the card in the mail but even though they ignore it and bin it they will get billed for the annual fee a year from now and will have to make some very assertive phone calls, probably to India, to get things sorted...

I also recommend taking out a Readers Digest subscription in their name.

Thanks for the advise too Patrick.

Edit: I was telling a mate I havent seen for ages about the goings on. Now he is a loverly Pommy guy married to a luverly maori lady. His comment was "they are white arent they?".

Something that I have seen done - evict them!

Prepare an official looking letter (it helps if you know their names) giving them 2 weeks to vacate the premises. Send it registered post.

That is their only way they survive, by teaming up on others.

Something that hasn't been said, send round a few trannys'. When they don't get their money for the outcall I could see a few whities clutching their sphincters tight

I had similar problem in Dunners few years back and sent the biggest blackest tranny to their pad.

Now this is purely an update so I can send the landlord this link and keep a record about the comings and goings.

Last the whole street was given a lovely treat. Donuts up and down the entire street. The police were called by 3 people in the street - not me! but they were sooooo busy last night they could not respond. Just as well it wasnt serious. Today they came back with a boat intent on heading to kawau.....LMFAO

One of the neighbours went over there today and is ready to take action. I suggested that would not be a good idea given the latest very public court case and we should just file the reports with the local cops and be persistant.

I have emailed the landlord twice and still it seems that since he has his rent he doesnt give a toss.

Don't forget to write down all their license plates and on the same night you file a complaint about their party noise, file a complaint on each car for excessive boy racer exhaust noise.

Or...

Do what I did when some boy racers decided to rev their car on our shared driveway - wheel your bike just out the garage while they are standing there. Turn on the engine, rev it to shit. Turn off bike. Push back in garage. Go back to sleep.

Worked for me.

But you got to have a loud bike to make your point.

Now I have some new people in that place (white trash trailer hicks) who complain about me working in my garage at 8pm!! Yikes.. lol



Failing that, get a large group of people together and go there all at the same time and inform them rather sternly that the noise stops. And it stops now.

No you won't.

Your friends are concerned over his tenants threats and behaviours to you. You pointed this out to him, worried about what others might do. Its a heads up, not a threat from you. You aren't getting the friends to do anything.

Get a video camera with low light resolution and start filming the antics.

That will not only help you, but will give the police a clear picture (if they don't already have one...) and the landlord will see what you are putting up with.

there are three ways to sort this out

one is the legal method, complain to the police / noise control /dog control everytime you have a problem, gather evidence , sound recordings video, photos etc and get all the neighbours involved - adopt a zero tolerance approach, also inform IRD and social welfare of any abuses of the system - make their life hell so that they can not move without something coming down on them - grassing them up to ird and social welfare is particulary satisfying as it hurts them where it hurts most, in the pocket

two is get somebody / bodies bigger than they are and put the fear of god into them - not recommended unless you really do have the back up to go all the way with this method

three just move and leave somebody else with the problem

sending emails to their landlord is a waste of time - it antagonises the situation and they can later be used against you as evidnece by them laying a charge of harrassment

However, in this particular case the neighbours are nothing more than carriers and sufferers of the 'loser' gene and need to be dealt with in the way all losers who feel they need to interfere with anyone else's peaceful enjoyment of their home - with plenty of their own fucking medicine. I dealt with my loser alcoholic house painter neighbour a couple of years back who got some dutch courage and decided to try his luck. There hasn't been a peep out of his sorry ass since.

Sorry I haven't got back to you sooner but we have been working on the address.

Yesterday, we executed a search warrant at the address you complained of. We seized a number of items of interest. As a result, I do not expect the occupants to cause any problems in the future.

If the occupants do continue to cause the neighbours concern, please call the police in the usual manner at the time the incidents are taking place so we can respond in the appropriate manner. Can you also send me an email and notify myself so we can follow up with those concerned.

I wish you a safe and merry christmas

Got hold of the local police and they say that because I only "overheard" the conversation there is no threat but they will contact the owner.

Bloody big ups to the local police as they did get hold of the owner and he is not interested. My only option is to sell, move on and make it someone elses problem.

That's not on. Keep contacting the police. Letting people rule you by "terror" is nothing. So far they have acted like they will do something to you but the general hoodlum trash talks big and does very little.

And I have to say I'm rather disappointed that bikers local to you have not been up at arms banging on your neighbors door and telling them to shut the hell up. As well as people constantly contacting the landlord.

What we have here is people winning by duration and annoyance. Your neighbors only have to do what they already been doing - that's no effort for them. You and people supporting you have to put in the hard yards to get things back to peace and either get them shipped out or shut up. I'm sure the landlord will have to do something out of annoyance just to get you to stop ringing and complaining providing you keep ringing and complaining.

Failing that, contact everyone and anyone. Newspapers, radio, MPs, Police, Housing Authorities etc.. The more public the bigger the profile, the less a small group of punks are going to want to do something - unless they are to stupid to realize it'd be obvious who's doing what with that kind of coverage. They were discussing bad neighbors recently on THE ROCK and arguments people have had with them.

Lastly, keep a log book of everything they have done and everything you have done to stop it - dates times etc...

It's a lot of effort.. but you will keep your home in the end and make your street a better place.

Agreed,,,,,if I was there Id roll up on my pink bike and spank their asses.....or grab some rough looking cuzzies and say "next time you f with my aunty my uncles ganna f with you" Its so horrible you are alone. I guess having shady relatives comes in handy at times.

You can apply for a harassment order, which is like a protection order (only diff is that protection order doesn’t cover neighbours) That way you can breach them for any unwanted contact. Also add a trespass order as that will increase your safety and hopefully help you decide to stay. ( trespass order only protects you on your own property ) You seem smart so these can be done without a lawyer and filed at court for free.

Keep the look out for child issues as under Domestic Violence act, it covers allowing a child to witness domestic violence. This act covers flatmates, relatives pretty much anyone in the home so if the party goers are beating up their girlfriends while child is in the home it comes under the DV act. Make sure when making a notification that (if there is DV, that the child heard or saw it) that’s enough. PM me if you need because if you contact them the info you give will be the difference. Stuff like where the child is durring these parties etc. These can be (if worded correctly) child abuse, neglect, failing to provide a safe environment. This law is crucial but not so known in its entirety We all know the effect exposure to DV has on children but you’d be surprised how little you know about the developmental, emotional shit this causes.... huge implications on child development, hence the provision. CYFs must act if a notification is made. (In ideal world)

A friend's parents live in Himatangi and have done most of their married life. Nice quiet area - until the neighbour moved out and rented their house to some relatives. They have parties nearly every night, stereo blasting away all day and night, and no action when asked to turn it down. This couple are retired so it's the last thing they need. Noise control won't visit out there, so they rang the police last time and they sent two cars and four officers and since then it's been a lot better.

I really feel for you as I know there is nothing in the world as bad as bad neighbours. We has scum across the road when we lived in Levin and count our lucky stars that we now live in the country with pretty good neighbours. The teenage guy across the road is moving out to go to university next month so the loud stereo, yelling and yahooing and endless stream of cars skidding in and out of their gravel driveway will cease soon (had to laugh last night though - one decided to play rally drivers going into their driveway and couldn't control the slide and hit the bank!). The family next door are renting until the new owners are ready to move in (meant to be last Christmas but sounds like another six months or so) so their teenage girl and her sad taste in music won't be forever! And besides, it's usually pretty quiet during the day and most nights - just the odd blast - and during the night it's nearly always dead quiet. We don't have any trouble with them either -not after giving the young guy across the road a lecture after his last party!

Overhearing someone even joking about burning your house down is beyond a joke. I know it is giving in to them, but even if and when they move on, they still know where you live and I'd be worried.

We are pretty lucky where we live, but if I were ever rich enough to build where and what I wanted, I'd like 10 acres with the house smack-bang in the middle so neighbours were never a problem!

The young drunks in the street exclaiming how big their dicks are and what they could do with them was somewhat amusing for the first hour but....... A brawl started and I phoned the police. They turned up with a wagon and dog handler and were abused but left as it had kind of quietened down. They were still going at 4am.

Now last night they were still going at 2am. On the weekend they had visitors who had dogs on the loose. There were 3 and two appeared to be part pitbull but I cant be sure. I went to shoo them away and one turned and barked at me - in my own back yard. I decided it best not to progress any further. My cat meanwhile had headed for the hills.

It is now starting to affect my work as my lack of sleep means I am even more grumpy than usual and snapping at my staff and making mistakes.

I did a search on the property to try and track down the owner but he isnt listed (I am pretty sure he has rented to his friends). Tried to track his registration but I seem to have written it down incorrectly. Checked out the Council web site and cant find any legal solutions. As it is more raised voices and abusive language there is no point in calling noise control.

I live alone and am not keen on starting any crazy feud but am lost as to what I can do? Any of you lot got any suggestions that can help?

No I am not brave enough to go knock on the door as there seems to be a heck of a lot of them and I dont want to start anything that could escalate to a battle from hell
Hi m8 - we had a similar problem a while ago with new tenants who moved in bhind our house and kept us awake with Metallica and others until the early hours and with another house the other side, this time, some form of weird dance stuff with a thud thud thud ... we ended up ringing the Council (Waitakere) on a dozen nights and they sent round a noise officer (security guard) to tell them to turn it down - they did, but it carried on, we wrote to the Council who have powers to get hold of the landlord and tell them and about 2 weeks later they moved out. I went over there twice asking them to turn it down before that and was told by an 18 year old girl to pull my head in ... the police were not interested - hope that helps!

Don't forget to throw in some retching & vomiting sounds. Apparently that statistically is the most hated and unbearable sound in the world

I can vouch for that...especially at 4am on a Sunday morning!

noise control have the power to seize stereo's if they are the cause of the noise

keep complaining and insist that they remove the stereo

Also complain to the council about the noise control not doing their job

Re the dogs on the loose - complain to the police that they are staging a dog fight

Keep a diary and keep complaining, if more than 3 of them have criminal convictions its an illegal gathering

Are all their vehicles legal? are they driving whilst under the influence / disqualified

What ever it is adopt a zero tolerance attitude, complain to the appropriate authority and make their life hell.

Well after fighting these arses for 5 months through non-confrontational means we have success. They are moving out right now.

Things I have learnt from this experience:

1) When the Police appear to be doing nothing much at all. They actually are. The local police have been great through this and i understand they cannot act without the grounds to do so.

2) CYFS do act when you lay a complaint. They also gave me a follow up call last week to let me know the state of things.

3) KBers really do rock. From the PMs to the two great KBers that put me up for a weekend after them next door threatened to burn my house down. The hugs and words of encouragement have been huge. THANK YOU!

4) Get to know your "good" neighbours because its them that will be watching your back.

5) We have the ideal conditions here to grow "green" plants

6) You cannot sue the owner for his tennants behaviour.

There was a raid on the property yesterday and I wont go into details but I think it was the cause of them leaving.

Oh and I understand (rightly or wrongly) that police drug dogs cant smell pot plants when they are growing. Hmmmmm the police didnt go very far into the bush to find what they needed.

Maybe a bit of search and recovery is in order when they have totally gone

Outside earlier and could hear some music coming from next door. Now this particular neighbour is in his 80's, his office is opposite our deck. Its hot, he has the window open. While on his computer, he has music playing, today it was Whitesnake oh and a little bit of Tony Christee
Funny thing is...I like both :whistle:

Well done, MadDuck. I've been following this thread for a while now. They sound like nasty, horrible people. Well done for hanging in there and I am glad to see that the police have come to your aid. I know how exasperating it can be to have inconsiderate wankers for neighbours that think the entire world revolves around them. Glad you are finally rid of them.

Excellent news! And the little prick across the road from us leaves for uni (well, his mummy takes him down to Christchurch herself) on Saturday. I got one of his mates a beauty the other night. I was sick and tired of them doing handbrake slides out of their gravel driveway and spraying it stones all over the road - we were waiting to turn into our driveway a few weeks ago when a passing car threw up a stone and cracked our windscreen. I told the kid's mother and she obviously passed it on to his friends so they had decided to get their own back - one came out, backed back to where there was a pile of thick gravel between their place and the one next door, and spun his wheels as he left. I had found out who he was and where he lived a few weeks earlier so I rang and asked to speak to his father. He lives about five minutes away so I knew he wouldn't be home yet. His father was really apologetic and said he was at his wit's end with him, as were the parents of many teenage friends of the kid they visit. He said he'd get him to come and apologise but I said to just tell him the grumpy old cow across the road had had enough and was not going to put up with it any longer. He came home while we were still talking and his father put him on the line to speak to me. What an arrogant little arsehole he was too! Told me it was an 'accident' to which I replied bullshit as I had seen him do it three times. He wanted to know how I had found out who he was so I said I'd paid the money at the post office and tracked him down. "Oh," he said, that's sneaky, you are very sneaky" so I told him it was legal and if he had a problem with it, he could go to the police and tell them WHY I had tracked him down!

They have been a bit quieter this week but decided to act like idiots last night as they most likely think I won't worry. I still have his rego so if he plays up, I'll report him to the police this time!
