Residents Complain Of Noise At Warehouse

She said that residents had called local police to complain about the activities but that the police had said they could take action only if a resident filed a written complaint. Police Lt. Anthony Francesco said no complaints had been filed.

Neal Rosenberg, an attorney for the condominium owners, said the residents were seeking an amicable solution with Safety Kleen rather than legal action.

He said the noise from the warehouse operation violates the local noise ordinance, which prohibits "unreasonable" or "unnecessary" noise between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.

"It's the result that we're interested in, not the fight," Rosenberg said. ''And the result that these people are interested in is for these disturbances to stop."

However, Francesco said, because the warehouse is a business operation, it might be difficult to prove that the noise is unreasonable.

Committeeman Vincent Farias said that he spoke with the owner of the warehouse, Richard Mick of Burlington Township last week, and that Mick said he would speak to Safety Kleen officials to "see if they can resolve the noise problem."

The committee, which said it became aware of the noise problem only in the last two weeks, also urged residents to sign complaints against the firm.
