How do you handle a problem neighbor?
Many people become frustrated with “problem neighbors.” But how do you handle this? Many times, it can be a simple call or email to your Oxnard Police Beat Coordinator. One thing to remember is to make every effort to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Nothing is more difficult to solve than an on-going problem that has festered between neighbors.
Many complaints that we receive at the police department have to do with noise. If you are disturbed by a loud party, stereo, television, or car alarm you may call Oxnard PD for assistance. You can remain anonymous if you wish, and service is provided in other languages, if necessary. I always encourage people to call the police when the noise is bothersome. If the residence in question is a rental property, a written warning can also be sent to the property owner. Beat coordinators track calls for service and if we see repeated issues, we can address them.
If you believe that there is illegal construction, broken down cars in public view, or other code compliance issues, please contact the code compliance office at 805-385-7940.
If there are issues in regards to animals (unlicensed, too many at residence, loud barking, etc.), please contact animal control at 805-385-7786.
If there is a general neighbor dispute, such as parking issues, trash can placement, or any general nuisance, feel free to contact your beat coordinator. Many times, beat coordinators can come out and contact all the parties involved and come to some type of resolution.
