"Neighborhood Nuisance Clause"

Coming soon...a clause for landlords to put into their lease agreements that:

  • takes the profit out of huge parties
  • deters renters from generating police visits
  • provides financial incentives to be good neighbors
  • reimburses landlords for problem behavior

Data Collection

This involves two activities. (1) The first is mapping out your block. You can get your map in an Adobe .PDF file or in web format.

(2) The second activity is calling the police or zoning enforcement officer for violations in your neighborhood. Remember, they can't keep stats if they don't know about a problem.

Active, Ongoing
Truth in Zoning Campaign

The neighborhoods designated 'single family' have density problems as the result of the current zoning policy, which allows four unrelated persons living in a house designed and zoned as 'single family', problems arise that should not be present in a single family neighborhood, such as multiple adjacent single family houses having 4 cars per driveway (which means competition for legal street parking).

Revision of Noise Ordinance

Currently, the Macomb Police Department is not able to enforce the noise ordinances UNLESS SOMEONE COMPLAINS.

We want the city to REVISE the current noise ordinance to adopt reasonable, measurable, scientific standards of acceptable noise limits according to the time of day, the type of noise, the area where the noise occurs, AND allow our police to enforce the noise ordinance WITHOUT having to receive a call first. However, at our July, 2002 meeting, Police Cheif Bill Hedeen stated that he WOULD NOT support any efforts to go to a non-complaint driven system, because 'the system in place works just fine'.
