    My question involves civil rights in the State of: Connecticut.
    Hi guys, this my first question here on this forum,
    we just finished our finals and a couple of my friends come to hang out in my apartment but we don't have music or dancing or non of that stuff.
    all we do is set down and talk that;s it. and apparently that's too loud?
    i am a foreigner and i don't know what the rules are but i don't think that my neighbor has a right to keep telling the security office at where i am living and they keep harrasing us, they came twice and he said that the next time he is going to call the police. I don't want to do anything rash so i am asking if they have grounds to give me a ticket or not?
    lets say he calls the police, will they investigate or just give me a ticket at my neighbors word?
    if lets say he does give me a ticket how much is it? in Hartford, ct?
    sorry if this is the wrong forum to post to but this is my first time.
    Thank you!
    Hartford has a pretty tough noise ordnance. The police can issue a ticket or citation from a complaint or on their own. The penalties are:

    Sec. 23-8. - Penalties.

    A person who violates any provision of this chapter shall be summoned or brought to community court pursuant to G.S. § 51-181c. A person who is summoned or brought before the community court cannot invoke any of the appeal rights provided by section 1-5 of the Hartford Municipal Code. The superior court judge assigned to the community court may impose a penalty of community service, a fine up to ninety dollars ($90.00) or a jail sentence up to twenty-five (25) days to any person who is convicted of violating any provision of this chapter.

    (Ord. No. 04-09, 2-9-09)
    The night time noise levels are only 45dBA as measured in your neighbor's unit.
    Sec. 23-3. - Noise levels.

    (a)It shall be unlawful for any person to emit or cause to be emitted any noise beyond the boundaries of his/her premises in excess of the noise levels established in these regulations.

    (b)Noise level standards:

    (1)No person in a residential zone shall emit noise beyond the boundaries of his/her premises exceeding the levels stated herein and applicable to adjacent residential, commercial or industrial zones:

    Emitter's zone:

    Residential


    Receptor's zone—Maximum level:

    Industrial .....62 dBA

    Commercial .....55 dBA

    Residential/day .....55 dBA

    Residential/night .....45 dBA
    45dBA is basically no background noise like in a theater.
