One of my sister's home is in a neighborhood without HOA, her next door neighbor rents out to Section 8 family. There is a basketball hoop in front of the neighbors house on the street. Anything goes when there is no HOA. Thanks but no thanks to investor owners. Ruining it for everyone.

If I live in that neighborhood, I would be calling the police and have that basketball hoop removed from the street. It is a nuisance. Street is not a basketball court. Go to the park where there are areas for sport activities. These same teenagers also trash the area with litter.

What if the basketball hoop was in the driveway or backyard?

You missed my point, the basketball hoop is on the street, bouncing balls can hit cars and it is also not safe for teenagers out on the street. We are not talking about bouncing ball noise here, but the nuisance these teenagers cause by playing on the middle of the street, litter, damage to vehicles........


I don't care what they do in their backyard get that crap off the street, having it on a driveway is also not acceptable, the bouncing ball can still hit other cars and these teenagers will still run off and on the driveway.

If I can't win the barking dogs issue, I'm in for a fight with the realtor. I can't live next to barking dogs 24/7. I really don't know how anyone on this street can. There are four houses that back up to his property and the incessant dog barking.

I did find this: https://pets.thenest.com/nevada-law-...dogs-4430.html

What do you think the chances are of getting this resolved in favor of sanity?

I know this doesn't help you, but your first mistake was assuming that your realtor gave a crap about anything other than getting their commission check. There are plenty of realtors who take their business seriously and conduct themselves with a high ethical standard, but you should never leave it up to chance. It is up to YOU to do your due diligence; saying "well the realtor told me so" seems a bit like you're pushing off your responsibility. YOU are the one making a decision on where to live and paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for the property.

I would have to agree with this. Neither the selling agent or listing agent have real incentives other than to get their commission checks. Obviously they don't want to get fined or sued in the process, but their main goal is to complete the transaction so they get paid.

It's a numbers game. Quantity over quality.

In the end, it's the biggest financial investment you are likely to ever make, so why would you put complete faith into a 3rd party's hands?

I agree for the most part. From a logical point of view, you are absolutely correct, and when I bought my second home, it wasn't an accident that it pretty much abutted master-planned Aliante. I scoured the zoning, and figured out a way to get my kids zoned for different high schools.

That said, taking advantage of someone's naïveté is a well proven way to make money, but not sleep at night with a clean conscience. The realtor did this man no favors and got paid for it.

^^^that is why he should turn her in.

We need to clean this town of crappy real estate agents.

I think you missed my point. It’s in a driveway. Not in the street. And WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE NOISE. The violation specifically says that! And the driveway does not back into a street!!

Folks, if you read my original post, I said I could not be there to check things out. Stop telling me I should have checked it out. My wife and step son did what they could. I asked the realtor to confirm there was not a problem with barking dogs.

I'm not going to "turn her in". No point, I don't want to pursue it.

Frankly, at this point, this thread is dead to me. I know my options and will deal with it when I get my house in order.

Thanks to all who contributed.

YOU ARE talking about the basketball noise I did not mention anything about it on MY post. Regardless of how you feel about the basketball hoop in the driveway, it is still a nuisance and the driveway is NOT a basketball court. Bouncing ball can still hit a parked car on a driveway. Besides these teenagers will also be running back and forth from the street to the driveway which is also not safe.

Majority of cookie cutter homes in Clark County are in tight spaces so that the driveway is closer to the neighbors driveway and the street. Spin it all you want, basketball hoop does not belong on a driveway.

As far as the OP with the barking dogs, goodluck, low lifes here do not care their dogs are barking day and night disturbing you. I dealt with it in the past, the HOA/management company did nothing. Eventually the people left but I was miserable for a long time with a dog barking from morning till night.
