A York tenant who made their neighbours\u2019 lives miserable by blasting out music into the early hours has been silenced.<\/p>\n

Council officers have seized both their stereo and CD collection under a warrant issued by magistrates.<\/p>\n

They went into the council flat on Margaret Street last Friday.<\/p>\n

York Magistrates\u2019 Court heard that there had been repeated complaints from neighbours about the anti-social noise. In response, council officers monitored sound levels from the flat.<\/p>\n

They heard music from the Eighties and by David Bowie, played at anti-socially high volumes from midnight.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it went on repeat throughout the night, stopping neighbours from sleeping. A warning letter was sent to the address on the day of the first complaint last December.<\/p>\n

The council then issued a noise abatement notice to the tenant on 29 December. This too was ignored.<\/p>\n

Officers continued to monitor noise from the home, and found it was louder and carried on for longer than the notice allowed.<\/p>\n

They then successfully applied for a warrant to seize the equipment making the noise.<\/p>\n

Councillor Michael Pavlovic, executive member for community safety, said: \u201cNoise nuisance is anti-social and, as this case shows, we will work together with neighbours and the police to put a stop to it. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhether a tenant or a home owner, everyone should consider their behaviour, how it may affect their neighbours and act reasonably.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen excessive noise doesn\u2019t stop, we will serve noise abatement notices. They are a warning that if the noise does not stop, prosecution is possible which can also impact tenancies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sergeant Charlotte Gregory of York community safety hub said: \u201cNorth Yorkshire Police officers attended the residential address with council neighbourhood enforcement officers to execute a warrant of entry following a breach of a noise abatement notice.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnti-social behaviour by tenants comes in various forms and will not be tolerated, especially when it has detrimental effects on the local community. <\/p>\n

\u201cAs a community safety hub, we take a multi-agency approach and use a variety of powers to address poor behaviour.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A York tenant who made their neighbours\u2019 lives miserable by blasting out music into the early hours has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":297980,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[93,61,60,278],"class_list":{"0":"post-297979","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-music"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297979","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=297979"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297979\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/297980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=297979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=297979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=297979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
