Q: Can I Get a restraining order, for the events venue across the street from my home?

We are both located on R1 properties. The “ party house “ was the sole residence of current owners grandmother. The mentioned property did get an ordinance to be able “to be a hotel and restaurant within the existing building only” in 1948. btw in 1952 the owners illegally without any permits, ,enclosed the double patio which is now considered inside. The one huge issue is that it is not a hotel and resturant!! Nor does the current operator have a hotel and resturant permit / license. Operator has a catering and think events business permit from the city.

Property IS and has been a gigantic nuisance for years. They have weddings often - during the summer usually every Thursday , Friday, Saturday (2) Sunday as well as other events during the week. Additional pet

A: Based on the information provided, it may be difficult to obtain a restraining order against the events venue across the street from your home. A restraining order typically requires evidence of harassment, threats, or other violent or abusive behavior. If the events venue is operating without proper permits or licenses, the appropriate course of action may be to file a complaint with the city or local authorities. It may also be possible to pursue legal action if the noise or other disturbances from the events venue are violating local noise ordinances or other regulations. It may be helpful to consult with a local attorney who can advise you on your options and the best course of action for your specific situation.
