Noise In The Neighborhood
What happens when a busy nightclub reopens next to a residential condo and the city government enacts an indoor smoking ban? A recent CityPaper article sheds light on the ups and downs between the RnR Lounge and The Cosmopolitan condo on 6th Street.

With apartment windows opening in the spring and noise echoing easily among tall buildings in an urban setting, the stage is set for noise complaints. Club and restaurant owners should start now and actively work with their residential neighbors to find noise abatement solutions that work for everyone.
