Definitely contact your local city councillor right away and it would be helpful if you could document (even briefly) all communication with the restaurant owners. Some local councillors are being proactive with this growing problem especially in the west end. Maybe it won't get a lot better but maybe it won't get worse. For instance if they wish to open a patio or are still applying for a liquor license, now is when you have the most influence. --Previous Message-- : I live in Parkdale with my boyfriend, and have : recently had a restaurant open in the retail : space below our unit. We have been having : on-going issues with noise from them : (thumping bass from 6pm to after 11pm, 6 : days a week), which has been happening : almost daily for a month now. : : We have written them a letter, spoke to them : multiple times in person, talked to : employees over the phone (where they have : hung up on us repeatedly) and have left : messages with our property manager (who is : conveniently never returning : messages)regarding the issue. When dealing : with the manager, the music will be turned : down - but that will only last for that day, : and the cycle begins all over again the : following day. : : We absolutely love our apartment and the : area, so we don't want to have to break our : lease; but we are at our wits end. Who can : we speak to about these issues, or where can : I go to take action against them? : : Any help will be VERY much appreciated. :
