ITHACA NY -- August 26, 2004 -- City of Ithaca police will have authority to issue noise violations and make arrests at sound-amplifying events and parties without complaints from concerned neighbors.

The governance committee of the Ithaca Common Council passed two amendments to Chapter 240 of the code Monday. The amendments to sections 6 and 7, which pertain to sound-amplifying events and parties, will give police the authority to initiate noise complaints.

Police officer Greg Firman said noise is one of the biggest quality of life issues on South Hill, but neighbors feared possible retribution if they filed a formal complaint.

“They’d wake up and their car windows would be broken,” he said.

To prosecute noise ordinance violations in court, complainants had to reveal their identity to police dispatchers.
