It is a pickle to complain to the higher ups and make real "noise" about neighbors' noise because if they are really trashy, you could come home to broken windows and running outdoor faucets, trashed flower beds and garbage dumped in the yard. I've heard of things like that happening. If you don't fear reprisals, you could write the Mayor, co-addressed to the Chief of Police, the Director of City Code Compliance, etc., and tell of your ongoing problems with the current residents of this home and their parties and how it inhibits your right to peaceful enjoyment and pleasure of your own home, lifestye and property, yadayadayada. Look up your city code and take the rights' wording right out of that. Ask if a code compliance officer can investigate this unremitting and harassing problem, and that you will work with that person to notify them once the loud noise starts, state that you have reams of video evidence while showing your watch to denote current time, if possible a newspaper showing the date or a dated contemporaneous news story on the computer and a live TV program in some of the footage to coordinate and help prove the time when the loud noise is happening, along with a journal of the times and nature of the excessive noise and lights for two weeks to support the video and sound evidence; and ask that they have a code compliance officer meet with the owner of the house and the current residents after the investigation to make them aware of the city codes and bring them into compliance. Be sure to state in your letter you are requesting anonymity to preserve your and your family's and home's safety. If you co-address the letter to enough people asking for help, it should get something done.
