Light Trespass Continuing problem Unshielded bright exterior lights trespassing neighboring properties

Case Date:

Light Trespass. Ongoing problem. The city has investigated before and confirmed light trespass. The large carriage lights on the east of the house porch are nonconforming with city code, they are unshielded, and are left on all night, as well, and there is light trespass on the neighboring property.This has been verified by a site visit by the city, measured on the neighboring property. Please enforce this. The light trespass is a continuing problem and it is disruptive to neighbors, as well as being a circadian rhythm disruptor. Apparently the house is unoccupied currently, and in a misguided effort to make the house look occupied, the exterior lights are left on all night. Thank you for enforcing the city code, and stopping this violation and nuisance immediately.

Exterior lights on this house are so bright it is hard to sleep, even with curtains to try to block out the light. It’s ridiculous, and it’s illegal light pollution. Please make them stop doing this. They are on all night.
