Description

I called tonite at 3:30 am to report to DPW regarding significant noise being made for over an hour by person "dropping off" three road work vehicles at the corner of 22 & O st NW. The operator at DPW sounded as though he had been awakened by my call. Instead of taking my complaint he hung up the phone. That is unacceptable behavior from a city employee. It appears that these vehicles could have been left at a more reasonable hour considering the amount of noise to be made unloading the vehicles, driving them to the other side of the intersection at 23rd & O st Nw where they would be parked and by the tractor-trailer itself hooking and unhooking and being left idling in the middle of 22nd st Nw for an hour. I called 911 to make a noise complaint. It would appear to DPW that they have no concern for the fact that this is a residential street where people must sleep before going to work in the morning. If this work is going to continue DPW needs to find an appropriate time to deliver the road work trucks to the area. It's now 5am and I can't go back to sleep. This is unacceptable. In your list for complaints there is nothing referencing noise or road work.
