    We bought our house 3yrs ago in a wonderful neighborhood on a court. Unfortunately, 6mos ago, a group of families (not sure how many) moved into the house across the street. They also have their friends and family over at least 3-4 times a week. Several families are living in the house. Our problem is that it is a small court that is now OVERRUN with vehicles all the time. Just right now, there are 17 cars for that one house in the court. All the neighbors are upset, and one who is trying to sell their house says prospective buyers are scared off. I called the city, and there are no ordinaces that govern this problem. How can one house ruin an entire neighborhood? And what can be done to stop this? We can't even put our garbage cans out without blocking our own driveway. My husband talked to them, but nothing has changed. Moving is not an option right now due to the decrease in house values. Any ideas????? ARe there lawyers who deal with this issue?

    Ah, another neighbor problem that the elected officials (morons) choose to ignore until someone gets hurt or worse.
    Yes you can retain an attorney, but you will spend lots of money and wait, wait, wait. Call your local TV stations and
    ask for the consumer division. If they find your story creditable
    they will put the story on tv and subject the 'authorities' to answer because after all these elected creeps want re-elected. You won't see your problems happening in their neighborhood!

    If there isn't a city ordinance that bans this, a lawyer can't really help you.

    What you might want to consider doing is getting your neighbors together to attend a city council meeting together. Bring up the issue you are having and see if the city is willing to create an ordinance that addresses it. For example, in the city I live in, residents may only park in the driveway for over 24 hours and there is a limit to how many cars can be parked in the driveway at any given time.

    Good luck!

    I discussed this situatation with a policeman.
    There isn't much they can do unless it becomes a health issue. Have you seen any mice?

    if there is no city law about parking for guests, then you can ask your city councilman to draft such a law. he will probably refuse because it would be impossible to write one in such a way that people would find acceptable. In some dense areas, such as near a University or a business zone, some cities have allowed designated or permit parking, limited to those who live in the neighborhood. You could look into that. The other option is to get all the other affected neighbors together with a plan. For instance, if all the neigbors parked on the street and took up all the space, with not enough space in between for a car, and then let the offending neighbor know that you would continue until he found another option, that might work. Also, keep an eye out for drugs and such. If there is something illegal going on, then even a single inquiry from the cops might convince them to go elsewhere. All that being said, keep in mind that the novelty of the new house might wear off soon and the crowds will thin.
