A citizen was complaining of excessive noise, during weekends and often late at night, when events were being held in a Community Center located near his residence. His numerous dealings with the Borough had not settled anything.
Our investigation revealed that the Occupancy Certificate held by this Center was for a Place of worship. Such a certificate only allows community and sociocultural activities. Some activities taking place on these premises were, therefore, not permitted; among others, there were regular fee-based dancing events open to the public.
We discussed the situation with the Borough. The latter reminded the managers of the Center of the uses permitted and not permitted, in their premises. The Center complied with the Borough’s requests. The situation has improved.
