Hi All, After calling in a complaint about the exceptionally loud noise last night from Bowstring, I was quite shocked when Officer Peterson of RPD told me that the Raleigh noise ordinance was suspended on Aug. 8 due to the city being sued by business owners, and police were not enforcing any noise ordinance until the new noise ordinance takes effect January 1st. I sent an email to city council members for verification (and an explanation if it is true that Raleigh is functioning with NO noise ordinance until January). I received the following reply from council member Megan Patton:
Hi Susan,
I think there has been a misunderstanding. The noise ordinance was not
suspended due to litigation. The litigation has caused the suspension of
a certain night life permit. Iβll forward this along to the Chief for
consideration. It is true that the new noise
ordinance goes into effect on Jan 1st.
Best Regards,
Megan
