Neighbors out in backyard last night 1:30 am

My parents had problems with noisy neighbors in that house when we first moved here. That was an absentee landlord situation also, but he lived 30 miles away. When the new owner bought it, he's had pretty well-behaved tenants until now. He doesn't live there, but he's local and comes and goes frequently because his warehouse is on the property. I swear every time those tenants have a backyard party, the burner gets 3 feet closer to the property line.

It looks like a bunch of 20-something girls. If they are employed, I can't see how they can stay up every other night until the wee hours, unless they work from their apartment. They have a loud car, too. It sounds like it has no muffler when they start it, almost like a motorcycle

For that map you posted, it seems that the cops should hear the firecrackers. The station is right there, and firecrackers are illegal.

Thus far I would have stood up for their rights to peacefully assemble on their own property, but they can't do this. It looks like you're less than a block from the station. Walk down and talk to the cops about it.
 
The local police only work weekdays from 6 to 11 pm and, even then, whoever is on duty may be out patrolling and not at the station. The State Police or Sheriff would take so long to get here, the party would be over by then. The firecrackers went off about 5 minutes after 11pm.

I am also mystified why they need a fire when it's like 75°F (25° C) outside.

I guess I'm lucky we have four 20 something girls living next door to us that are quiet & respectful. Right now they aren't working because they are show girls, dancers to be exact. They did have a pool party the other day with some of their friends that are dancers. Even then since it was day time no problems. Being as they are so nice when they asked me if I could tap a 1/2 barrel beer for them I said sure no problem. One had to get dressed though to go get 6 bags of ice. Meanwhile I went over to get a packing blanket to cover the ice when she got back. Out of respect I left after tapping the barrel & having one beer. I mean really what does an old dude like me need to be hanging around a group of 20 somethings sunbathing nude so they don't have tan lines.
 
Yes, but you neighbors don't have a party EVERY day and it's in the daytime, right? When mine first started, it was one party every other week, then it was once a week, now it's several times a week. They can start anywhere from 3pm to 7 pm and can go until 1 to 3 am. Once in a while I hear a man's voice, but I don't know what his relationship to the girls is, but his arrival seems to precipitate a lot of dog barking. Maybe he brings his (I've seen a medium sized black dog over there as well as the white shepherd) and they get each other excited

No but they do sunbathe nude almost everyday which can be distracting when I'm out doors doing something important, like checking on the growth of potted plants.

Well, you just need to break up your important duties into several segments. At 10 a.m., you could check to make sure the concrete patio isn't cracking, at 11 you should probably check the fence between your properties for moss incursion, and high noon is an excellent time to check that side of your house for loose siding. Just make sure you check your blood pressure frequently and keep up on your beta blockers. Oh, and it would only be neighborly to offer to get their mail for them, y'know?

Why couldn't you talk to the police during working hours and ask them what can be done?
 
It was eerily quiet next door all day yesterday. No late night/early morning parties, but this is Saturday - I expect anything tonight. Then again, after that wingding Thursday, maybe one of the other tenants said something to the landlord.

I have come to the conclusion that any laws or ordinances are only as good as they are enforced, which sometimes the police are reluctant to do.

One time back in the 1970s, a family with 5 kids lived next door. They had a pool back then and sometimes those kids would stay out all night having pool parties and loud music. My mom called the local police and when he responded he was laughing all the time talking to them that there was a noise complaint: "Ha, ha, someone is complaining..heee...about the noise. So, hee ha, quiet it down a bit." Like it was a big joke. The kids waited about 5 minutes after the cop left, then on went the music even louder. Here, the cops don't have to have any training. Anyone can walk into the village hall and ask to be one. This is about the locals from the town Web site:

What kind of a town do you live in? Anyone can just ask to be a member of the police dept. and it's a done deed? And they only work 6-11pm? Why bother?
 
I guess because we have an exceptionally low crime rate. According to the "police blotter" in the newspaper, most of their activity is stopping motorists that have forgotten to get their vehicles inspected, a few speeders, driving with license suspended, DWIs, and a few violations of restraining orders, 2 or 3 times a week. I can see the patrol car parked over there most of the time, not in use. As they say in the Web site - they act together with the sheriff and state police - so the other agencies cover when the locals aren't on duty. I found out when I went over to the station at 5 pm one time with a question and the door was locked and the building was dark.
 
Was eerily quiet all weekend next door. Their car was there, but that doesn't mean they could have gone someplace in another vehicle. The burner was there this morning, but it is gone now (or moved out of my line of vision) and I hear the "thump thump" music coming from the apartment. Maybe someone else (for a change) complained about last Thrusday night's large burner fire and the firecrackers, or the cops did see it and intervened.

Another backyard party last night. They were alot more noisy than usual. I could hear "thump thump" music coming from the apartment and they even had firecrackers. Of course when they set off the firecrackers, their dog would bark.

LOL. I think that's called "Rap."
 
I see you are in NY. I assume that you are under anti- virus measures. The girls might be furloughed. That would account for the tine they have to party. But, debodun, from your posts, it sounds like you are obsessed with them. They are either obnoxious neighbors, or if they are quiet, they are doing something nefarious. To be honest, you seem to be way into their every move. I mean, why are you concerned if they rode in their own auto, or if they got a ride? It's starting to border on stalking. Maybe you should take a break and ignore them for a time.
