Reply to comment by missjennielang in My “luxury” apartment buildings trash compactor is next to our apartment, wakes me up all hours of the night, and the building refuses to do anything. What should I do? by CCIRMAJOR26

Yeah, I’m sure there’s a legal definition for what is “necessary”.

Trash removal is deemed a necessary service so if the compactor is so full it needs to run it’s not in violation.

Not for private trash collection. Here’s the language from the ordinances. The trash compactor is run by a private company.

“Trash collection by private haulers is prohibited between the hours of 9 pm and 7 am in residential, special purpose, or waterfront zones, or within 300 feet of any of these zones. These rules do not apply to Department of Public Works vehicles, only private trash collection companies.”

That’s about a hauler not a compactor, OP is not talking about a vehicle. You’re not understanding the use of collection or vehicle

I’m responding to your claim that all trash services are somehow deemed “necessary” and therefore except from noise ordinances. This paragraph shows that’s clearly false.

The machine would break and the building would be without a necessary service if the machine was allowed to be overfilled denying an entire building use of an essential service. The paragraph you copied has absolutely nothing to do with this situation.

The machine would break from not being used from 9pm to 7am? Please just STFU already.
