Did you know that you can help us keep our neighborhood clean and peaceful?

 No sabia que puede ayudarnos en mantener nuestro vecindad limpio y pacifico?


Part of what our home means to us is a place to relax. As residents of Pecan Park and Houston, we have the right to enjoy a reasonable level of peace and quiet while at home. Being a good neighbor means respecting each other's rights. The City of Houston has ordinances so that these rights won't get violated by others and so citizens have some control over conditions within their own neighborhoods. These ordinances are laws that must be obeyed by everyone. We are fortunate to have these ordinances but we need to report violators if they are going to be of any use.

Un parte de lo que es nuestra hogar para nosotros es un lugar para relajarse.

NOISY NEIGHBORS MAKING YOU WANT TO SCREAM?

Our world has become full of noises. Car alarms, monster stereo systems, power mowers, weed eaters, air conditioners, barking dogs, honking horns, beer parties 10 feet away from your bedroom. Ideally, those who are responsible for creating the noise would consider their neighbors before making noise. We know that's not always the case. What can you do? No, shooting them will only make things worse. First, try talking to them. It's easy to forget that our animals or activities might be harming others. In many cases an agreement can be reached that satisfies everyone's needs. If not, call HPD at 713-884-3131.There is a City of Houston noise ordinance which states that it is a violation if any noise is so loud as to be heard 50 feet away from the source, unless it's a mower or some necessary machinery. They will send someone out there, you don't have to give your name, and it might work.
