Unsightly graffiti needs to be removed as quickly
as possible. Not only is this often a sign of an organized gang
marking territory, but also it will multiply in retaliation if not
covered up quickly. Once graffiti is
reported, the Graffiti Hotline notifies the Minneapolis Police
Department of this vandalism complaint and also forwards the address
to Housing Inspections. Housing Inspections will send a letter to
the property owner. |

Noisy Parties
Call 911 |
The Noise Assembly Ordinance is enforced 24 hours a
day. |
| |
Call 911. Be sure to give party address
and state that the nature of your complaint is a "noisy party." In
addition to getting the police out to break up the party, calls to
911 document the problem for future action. Tips
include the following: |
| |
|
1. It is best to be willing to give
your name, address and phone number as complainant.
2.
Call the
property owner(s) when a party disturbs neighbors.
3.
Call the
Housing Inspections Department
if there are also problems with the upkeep of the property and
grounds.
Large
parties can lead to deteriorating conditions and unsafe buildings.
|
| 911 |
The
biggest mistake people make when problems occur is to ignore the
problem and fail to call police. |
| |
Police officers and 911 dispatchers continually stress to us that
the most important thing to do in problem situations is to call 911.
It
does not have to be an emergency. It is appropriate to call 911 when
you need a response from police, fire or ambulance service.
Calling 911 not only prompts a response from police but it also
helps to build a history on the property and generates police
reports. Tips for calling 911. |
| |
|
1. Be familiar with your
neighbor’s addresses ahead of time and make sure and give the
correct address when calling 911.
2.
Try your best to give clear
descriptions of people and what you are witnessing.
3.
Don’t assume your neighbor
will call 911. The more people that call on a problem the better as
this is documented in statistics when police look at crime and where
to concentrate efforts. |
