Noisy neighbors can now be fined $1,000.
A press conference was held at the southern tip of Mission Beach, San Diego Police Department Captain Boyd Long, Councilman Kevin Faulconer, code enforcement officials and community leaders.
The new program allows police officers to issue $1,000 fines per tenant responsible for the noise violation. The community wanted a tool to deal with houses that habitually cause problems. The program primarily targets college students and young people who rent near the beach and stay up late making noise.
According to police, more than 4,600 calls were received in 2006 for noise-related service.
As of August, the division has received 3,380 calls this year.
