RE: PROACTIVE COMPLIANCE RECORD FOR [YOUR BUSINESS NAME] – ARLINGTON & JEFFERSON
Dear Councilmember [Name] and LAPD Noise Enforcement,
I am writing to proactively submit evidence of compliance for [Your Business Name], located at [Your Address]. Our business is an integral part of the Arlington and Jefferson community, and we are committed to maintaining the peace and character of this high-activity corridor.
To ensure we are exceeding city standards, we have completed the following:
- Professional Sound Audit: Verified by [Third-Party Company] on [Date], confirming our soundproofing meets LAMC Section 112.01 standards.
- Equipment Calibration: We have installed hardware limiters to ensure our sound output cannot technically exceed legal decibel thresholds.
- Contextual Analysis: A sound survey of the Arlington/Jefferson area shows high ambient noise levels from transit and other local sources unrelated to our premises.
We are submitting this record because our business has been the target of repeated, unfounded noise complaints that we believe are being made in bad faith or as a form of targeted harassment against our Black-owned establishment. We request that this certification be added to our business file so that any future complaints can be weighed against this objective, third-party data.
Respectfully,
[Your Name]
[Owner/Operator, Your Business Name]
[Owner/Operator, Your Business Name]
