Call 911
Call 911 to report fighting, screaming, gunshots, explosions, noise from a large party or crowd that is causing danger, or suspicious breaking of glass or wood.

You can make a complaint about noise from your neighbor including loud music, party, or television, talking, and moving or dragging of furniture.

What Happens Next

Officers from the New York Police Department (NYPD) will respond within 8 hours when they are not handling emergencies. They will be able to take action if the noise is still happening when they arrive. If you make multiple complaints within 8 hours, police may only respond once.

Other Ways to Get Help

Many buildings have rules about noise. Contact your tenant association, building owner, or super if a neighbor in your building is often noisy.
