I am looking Summerlin's covenants and trying to find what covers noise. The people behind me go out of town every weekend now and their adult son comes home and throws parties outside while they are away. He cannot even keep his parties indoors which would probably make little or no noise.

On eight different occasions we have had to tell them to shut up between 1-4am, and there are 30 or so other times we did not, most of which came when this first started. It started out politely, but now the kid is out of control with more people coming every week and it gets louder and louder.

The county's ordinance covers any hour, but I thought Summerlin's had specific quiet hours like 11pm-7am. Does anyone know it specifically? It is becoming a nuisance, and when they had a huge bash Metro did not show up so I am wondering if that is even a solution. I was going to send a certified letter to the parents and start documenting and recording the parties so I could maybe have them declared a nuisance and take civil and criminal action. It has truly gotten that bad.

It looks like Clark County's noise ordinance is criminal and civil giving me a lot of rights, but I'm hoping to find a way to just put an end to having to go outside every weekend at 3am to tell them to shut up and have confrontations with an increasingly out of control group of people. Any help would be appreciated.

shuldnt make a differance.....city and county both have noise laws and summerlin by state law can not make a rule that is less strict the city county or state law......despite what summerline might think they are still a psrt of Nevada.

Note...ki am not a lawyer nor to i play one on TV altho I hsve used one on occassion

I guess you are right. I did not think about that great point. If the county has a 24 hour noise ordinance, it would trump the HOA. I guess that is why I cannot find it.

I believe that its 10pm during the weel and midnight on weekends...but it may be earlier....call the NON EMERGENCY Metro line and ask them.....

Keep bugging the HOA about it plus call the cops. Eventually something will get done about it.

I had a neighbor get drunk and loud one night...all by himself. I finally went over and told him that his music and catcalls were keeping awake and politely asked him knock it the heck off. He proceeded to get louder, so I called the police. They asked him, politely, of course, to knock it off and the guy agreed. After they left, he turned everything up as loud as possible and became a real jerk. I called the police again and they arrested him. I didn't live in an HOA and Metro took care of it. *shrug*

Maybe you're upset you don't get an invite to what sounds like a kick-butt party?
