Dear Sir or Madam;
This is to notify you the Oak Park Heights Police Department has received a complaint of noise violations
that have happened at your location in the recent past.
The complainant said there have been lawn maintenance crews or other maintenance crews using leaf
blowers early in the morning. They said the time was 5:30AM. They also said there has been sweeping
equipment operating in the parking lot during the night.
Noise ordinances prohibit unnecessary noise or vibrations which bother neighboring properties. The
ordinance prohibits noise between the hours of 10pm and lam and all day on Sundays.
We often get complaints of this nature about business locations next to residential neighborhoods.
Please consider your neighbors during operations such as lawn care, snow removal, garbage removal,
and other activities that are easily planned during normal operation hours or times that are not an
impact on the neighboring properties.
Be considerate of your neighbors and notify your staff or contractors of these restrictions. Future
violations may result in citations being issued to the violating subject as well as the property manager or
owner directly.
Thank you,
Brian DeRosier
Chief of Police
