Commercial "Neighbors"

In a city with so many mixed-use buildings, your "neighbor" may be a commercial enterprise: A retail store with music, a gym or dance studio, a supermarket with a noisy loading dock, a parking garage or most often, a restaurant or bar .

Whose "side" are we on?

In commercial buildings one business may disturb another. Many businesses use large air conditioners and exhaust fans. These are frequently not properly isolated and transmit noise into nearby residences.

The most efficient way to deal with such problems is with the cooperation of all parties: the residents, the business(es) and the building management. But this is not always possible. In cases where there is no cooperation and the noise occurs at unpredictable times, we can install a Long-Term Calibrated Audio Recorder in your location to document the disturbance.

See Long Term Recording & Monitoring

This unique tamper-proof system can make full-fidelity calibrated recordings for several days at a time. It is perfectly suited to document a recurring pattern of nuisance, which can make or break your case.

See:
Pildes v. Restaurant Daniel, a case in which another consultant failed to demonstrate a pattern of nuisance, and
The Nuisance of Nuisance, an article written by Real Estate Attorneys, which describes the importance of demonstrating a recurring pattern.

Courtroom Noise Demonstrations:

Not only can we print out graphs of the noise levels, our recordings can also be played back accurately in court. This is powerful evidence. We have had great success with these recordings.

We have another system which does not record actual sounds, but only the sound level data, which is good where privacy issues are concerned.
