Greetings Residents,
It has come to my attention that there are a lot of people who are currently playing their music at the detriment of others. Many of us in our “digital age” have sub-woofers and “sound systems” but we must also understand that our sounds can be disturbing to neighbors as well.
I personally knock and ask people politely to turn down their music, but when does it become a “nuisance?” I have personally knocked on peoples doors over 15+ times, and yet, they STILL turn their music on so my walls vibrate - so what does one do?
On some occasions I have had to ask residents DAILY to keep their music down, other times I have literally had to drag a person into the hallway to have them hear the ruckus they were causing. I honestly feel that video cameras and proper documentation are crucial as evidence.
I just wanted to remind people that living in a loft/Arts district doesn’t give you carte-blanch to “ignore your manners,” or “social responsibilities” and behave like a “College Student”.
RULE OF THUMB: IF YOU CAN HEAR IT IN THE HALLWAY ITS WAY TOO LOUD “.”
This is a community, let’s treat each other with mutual respect and dignity. We all share this space, so we all should respect it equally. We already have construction noise issues, let’s not torment ourselves unnecessarily either.
Cheers!
P.s.: Please don’t make other residents have to ask you to turn it down, no one should have to be reminded repeatedly…self policing is the best policy.

I am writing this post as a request for residents to enter their complaints/comments about Sonic Towing. Currently we are assembling a “Neighborhood Letter” documenting the incidents that residents have experienced.
