Could Snr Guzman please state what the law is regarding noise from bars (eg acceptable noise level and times permitted) and also how to take action to have loud music stopped. Many thanks.

Of couse the law exists. I believe the music can be no louder than 9O decibels. The Politure have the reader and are suppose to use it but they don't. I saw it once 2 years ago.
I'm sorry, feel like I'm not in the DR reading this..Does such a law exist here? I asked this question a few times with friends, they just laughed..I think you will need to address your issues on your own in a friendly way..Go there, talk with the owner/Manager and/or neighbor etc...Maybe tell them that you have a new born baby at home, try getting some empathy...But curious if Mr Guzman will reply, see what he says..
Good subject!

There are so many laws, but none of them are enforced.Does such a law exist here?
That is exactly what I am trying at present, the nice appoach, we have even been into the bar for a drink and a chat with him. Now it is just LOUD instead of a window shaking F**kin hell it must be an earthquake! type noise.
As my wife and I are retired I don't think we will get away with the 'new baby' scam! lol.
I don't really mind during the day, it's the night time Till 1 or 2am that I have the problem with.
I'm getting old and need my sleep! :tired:

At what about some freaking roasters that sing from 5 am to 9 pm ???? Don't they ever sleep ??
And the freaking motos and others that roam the streets at all around of the night, making as much noise at possible ???
I am going crazy because of the noise in POP.... where could I go to live, but with at least the minimal services one can expect ??
Believe me, I had to face those issues in the past, there is only 1 real solution: MOVE!Could Snr Guzman please state what the law is regarding noise from bars (eg acceptable noise level and times permitted) and also how to take action to have loud music stopped. Many thanks.
We had perfect quiet in our home in Canada, and months of cloudy weather, and months of living inside in heated conditions and months of snow and cold. Now we have sun, enuf that we exist only on solar power, I sit outside and watch glorious sunrises and sunsets. We have magnificent views in the hills above Abreu (near Cabrera). Our nearest neighbours are barely in view. But we have roaming chickens and dogs that serenade us nightly. Our roosters start at 2 or 3,- they don't wait till 5! Somehow we now sleep thru the noise,- this IS a noisy country! We do adapt believe it or not!
If you moved to a less populated area you would have a little less noice but never the total peace that you might be craving
From a legal document:

We have been struggling against a similar "bar" in the 100% residential neighborhood in Higuey. Past 8 pm the only thing you hear are dogs barking and this frikkin bar. They have local medio ambiente in their pocket because the owner of the structure is friend with Omar Castillo local head of MA AND the son of PRD deputy.
Omar Castillo is a sleazy inept b***d who ran for PRD when they sacked him he turned to PLD and they made him some vice-something during Leonel years and since this year he has been in Medio Ambiente for La Altagracia province. In spite of all the "connections" the owner of the structure has (who is not the same as operator of the bar) THERE ARE people who still can resolve, because they are not aligned along those particular lines. So we are now dealing exclusively through the Fiscalia de Medio Ambiente in La Romana.
Plus, you are also left with an option to go straight to Santo Domingo, you can go to Procuraduria General de Medio Ambiente in La Feria, to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (Medio Ambiente) in SD as well as directly to the Ministry of Interior and make communication to Minister Fadul. Also, La Z101 is a good option to "open the doors" to respective high offices... these are our options yet to take.
The bugger owner had big mouth and revealed a lot of info, so now we know whom "not" to contact. We had a petition of over 30+ signatures. When finally Fiscalia de Medio Ambiente from la Romana went in to make their own measurements (the measurements made by local medio ambiente were never signed and no Acta was given to the owners, guess why) the place was closed for remodelling. The thing is complicated that they seem to change "administration" and "name" frequently which complicates things because a process has to be exhausted in order for a Judge to sign closure order. In this struggle it's me + 2 more dominicans joined together, neighbors, one of them is a wife of the guy who owns all the lots in the neigborhood (it was their hill and they made a residencial out of it). if you want I can email you the copies of the documents we filed, maybe you can use them as a format.
