Default Neighbors from hell

This past March, some white trailer trash moved in across the way from me.
Right afterwards, they began running a generator 24/7 to supply themselves
with power (supposedly they can't afford to have electricity run to their
sty). I complained to the township supervisors about the constant noise and
the idiots did quit running the generator at night, but I've had to listen
to that racket hour after hour, day after day, week after week for six
months. Every time I open a door or window, every time I want to sit on my
deck, it's there. Given that we had 90+ degree heat through most of the
summer, I felt trapped in my closed up house because listening to that
generator drives me nuts after a short while.

I went back to the supervisors last week and found out the township does not
have a noise/disturbing the peace ordinance. But the supervisors told me
they've had numerous complaints on different matters about these jerks,
including from the sewerage inspector. Seems the sow living in the trailer
has no sewage, craps in a bucket, and hauls the bucket to her mother's place
to flush her wastes away. Ye gods.

Today when I got home from work, I had planned to cook on the grill since
it's a warm, sunny evening - but the yahoos across the way are burning. When
I opened the door to my deck, my whole house filled with what smells like
burning plastic. I looked over their way and saw thick clouds of black smoke
rising above the trees.

I've thought of several ways of dealing with the situation, all of them
immoral and most of them illegal. But I'm at my wits end with this - I can't
see spending the rest of my life listening to that damn generator and
putting up with the other nonsense this crew is dishing out.

Sorry about the long rant, but any suggestions about where I should go from
here to regain my quality of home life and sanity would be most appreciated.

Legally there's not a lot probably unless you can get the municipality
to enforce existing code(s).

I suppose you could try under some sort of state nuisance laws or
somesuch, but probably would get a judgement and no satisfaction even if
there is something you could use in place.

Man... what a mess.

I'm sure all their neighbours on each side of them are just as sick of
them as you. Perhaps y'all can plot.... er... I can't think of
anything moral or legal either :-(

No solutions, but i'm really sorry you have to put up with that.

There *might* be some local codes regarding habitation in a place
without proper septic systems, and you might be able to annoy them with
that. If y'all gang up on them with petty stuff you might eventually
be able to drive them away. Iknow that's not esp. fair but sometimes
you have to look after your own.

Is this actually a mobile home or a house? Rented or owned?

I'm in a place where everyone around me burns their garbage, their
grass clippings, their leaves, their piles of tires and their dead
pets, so opening windows or going outside can sometimes be a really
really bad idea. So I'm moving...

Good luck... Hope you can make some sense from it.

Do they own the property or rent? If the latter your municipality may
have some rental laws that may be of help.

Do they have kids? Call the local child welfare organization and report
the living conditions.

Senior citizens? Call your local senior service organization.

Maybe it's a case of love thy neighbour. Remember Pygmalion? The rain in
Spain falls mainly in the plain! Maybe these people need to be helped into
the 21 Century. That would take effort of course.

Greetings Snafu,

I heard that you were thinking of selling and I am always interested in
an investment at the proper price. Where are you located? How much
land does your property consist of? Can you tell me a little about
what is there? Anything other than your home? What are you asking for
it in an all cash deal to wash your hands of it?

Thanks,
William

Anthony you are an idiot. The guy has to put up with burnt plastic
smell and to hear a generator running 6 months straight and he says
something about it on here and you accuse him of whining and being a
pain in the ass. Yea, I like to see living beside the guy with the
generator and see how calm you are about it. Anthony, you are a kind
person. The kind of person I'd like to kiss my ass.

Whose the troll, the poster or the neighbor?

Since when is gasoline cheaper than electricity off the grid. Maybe the
price of gas will curb the generator usage. At $3/ gallon I wonder what
it cost to run all day. Burning must be legal where you are cause that
would get you an expensive ticket where I live. Just learn the codes and
regulations and report every tiny little infraction.

Ultimately moving is your only reliable recourse. If they are renting (they
must be) complain to the owner and point out how this has damaged their
property value. If all your neighbors make written complaints to the owner
they might listen even if it is family they are renting to.

This will cost some $$, but you might try talking to a lawyer to see
if you can bring a civil suit for loss of quiet enjoyment of your home

but you may be able to get an injunction.

Look at it this way, that kind of abuse to a generator can only
last so long before it goes bad. What will they do next?

If I smelt burning plastic, I would have just called the fire dept and
had them over the house.

I can see that I have gotten to you by your remarks. Guess I was right
about you all along.

Anthony you are an idiot. The guy has to put up with burnt plastic
smell and to hear a generator running 6 months straight and he says
something about it on here and you accuse him of whining and being a
pain in the ass. Yea, I like to see living beside the guy with the
generator and see how calm you are about it. Anthony, you are a kind
person. The kind of person I'd like to kiss my ass.

This past March, some white trailer trash moved in across the way from


me.

Right afterwards, they began running a generator 24/7 to supply


themselves

with power (supposedly they can't afford to have electricity run to


their

sty). I complained to the township supervisors about the constant noise

and


the idiots did quit running the generator at night, but I've had to


listen

to that racket hour after hour, day after day, week after week for six
months. Every time I open a door or window, every time I want to sit on


my

deck, it's there. Given that we had 90+ degree heat through most of the
summer, I felt trapped in my closed up house because listening to that
generator drives me nuts after a short while.

I went back to the supervisors last week and found out the township does

not


have a noise/disturbing the peace ordinance. But the supervisors told me
they've had numerous complaints on different matters about these jerks,
including from the sewerage inspector. Seems the sow living in the


trailer

has no sewage, craps in a bucket, and hauls the bucket to her mother's

place


to flush her wastes away. Ye gods.

Today when I got home from work, I had planned to cook on the grill


since

it's a warm, sunny evening - but the yahoos across the way are burning.

When


I opened the door to my deck, my whole house filled with what smells


like

burning plastic. I looked over their way and saw thick clouds of black

smoke


rising above the trees.

I've thought of several ways of dealing with the situation, all of them
immoral and most of them illegal. But I'm at my wits end with this - I

can't


see spending the rest of my life listening to that damn generator and
putting up with the other nonsense this crew is dishing out.

Sorry about the long rant, but any suggestions about where I should go

from


here to regain my quality of home life and sanity would be most

appreciated.

I suggest you write a letter to Code Inforcement every week until they
respond. Try to get your neighbors to do the same. They are no doubt
breaking numerous laws.

I second getting them a muffler if you have it in your heart...

I get similar problems from my neighbors. Woke up about 4am this Sat. to the
smell of something burning. I figured it was a house fire somewhere in the
city so I closed my windows and went back to sleep.

Later, about 8am I'm out mowing the lawn and the smell is worse. Then I
notice smoke rolling out of the backyard of a neighbor two houses up the
street. I walk up there to investigate figuring there might be a smoldering
fire in a storage shed or something. To my suprise I look through the fence
and this guy is burning trash in a barrel in the middle of the city!

Is what really got to me is he tried to do it in the wee hours to avoid
detection, so he must have known it was illegal. Makes me wonder what he
was burning. I announced my displeasure as I walked off and commented as to
the legality of burning in the city.

Only a few minutes later there was no more smoke, so simply voicing my
displeasure was enough. I intended to call the fire dept. but the
non-emergency # was disconnected! At this point I had too much to do,
relatives visiting, so I blew it off.

Let me get this straight.

a) Having the fire department come out was important enough to spend
the fire department's time and probably the city's tax dollars but not
more important than putting off the things you had to do for a few
minutes?

b) You asked the guy to stop and he did. You then, after he stopped,
tried to call the fire department on him?

I asked nothing. "I announced my displeasure as I walked off and commented

the fire dept., "but the non-emergency # was disconnected." I didnt want to
call 911 to report a non-emergency violation. Luckily the fire was
extinguished and that cemented my decision to blow it off.

Since when is gasoline cheaper than electricity off the grid. Maybe the
price of gas will curb the generator usage. At $3/ gallon I wonder what


Assuming that the problem isn't ficticious, it's probably because the
electric company won't hook them up, for any of a number of reasons.

Completely plausable. I know people who would act like this and do in other
ways torment the neighbors. Then again, the OP never posted again.

Everyone needs a place to live, even trashy people living off the grid. I
hope the OP at least started with negotiation to mitigate the noise (offer
to build a generator shed out of an old dog house) before resorting to
getting angry.

I had neighbors who used to start with their rock and roll band at around
midnight. When I called the sheriff to find out if I had any right to sleep
at night they told me they were not willing to go over there and risk
getting shot. Well, I was not going to go over there unarmed but if I went
over there armed and had to defend myself then I would have been to blame
for going over there armed in the first place. Some people it's just better
to not try to talk to. Keep in mind that I had gang members move in next
door to me and I was perfectly willing to go over there and ask them to turn
it down or keep their dogs out of my back yard etc.

Then again, the OP never posted again.

Sure, everyone needs a place to live but it's a lot nicer if we can attain
certain minimum standards of living. If they were just "****ting in a
bucket" then I'd say yuck, but OTOH if the bucket was actually part of a
composting process and the pile was done properly so it didn't stink and
attract flies then OK. But there is a difference.

it cost to run all day.


Who says they are paying $3/gallon? Maybe they are siphoning it out of
people's cars. It might be worth spending some time spying, err, observing
them so see if they are into any such illegal activities, doccumenting them,
and then get the law after them.

If you can't get the law to help on the immediate problems (noise, etc),
then use the law to get them in another way!
