A: Mr. Thorgaard gave a somewhat humorous but correct answer that you, as a non-lawyer, might not understand. You may be able to sue on the ground of nuisance - that is, to seek a court order to stop the nuisance activity and possibly for money damages. A lawyer letter threatening to sue for nuisance may bring results. Before heading to a lawyer, though, I would call code enforcement to see of they will take action.
