Noise Violations: Title 18 of the City Code requires construction companies to make no noise prior to 7 am and to cease noise at 6 pm. Please call the city at 503-823-7350 to report a problem. File noise complaints online or visit the city's noise complain website.

CONCERTS AT PROVIDENCE PARK -- The Good Neighbor Agreement executed by the Stadium management (Peregrine) and the City and accepted by the Goose Hollow Foothills League allows Peregrine to host ten "special events" each year, 8 of which can be concerts. “Foo fighters” will be the first of those on August 16th, a Friday evening. These events are required to douse the stadium lights by 11PM weekends (10PM weeknights), and their noise permit currently prohibits amplified music after 10PM. Peregrine has requested a noise variance that would change the terms of their existing noise permit… but it is not likely that any planned concert will go as long as 10PM, let alone 11. Primary problems of Providence Park concerts will likely be traffic and parking… and those impacts could last longer than 10PM, and depending on after concert activities, substantially longer.

Illegal Camping: Set up an online account and report at pdxreporter.org. Camping is prohibited on public property and public rights of way (14A.50.020).

Illegal Car Parking: You can check whether a parked car has the proper (Zone A or Zone B) area parking permits by inputting the car's license plate number here.

TRASH: Use PDX Reporter to report camping, trash, and abandoned vehicles in the public right of way. Check here if reporting violations on your private property. You can track reports made to PDX Reporter through the Impact Reduction Program Data Dashboard. For dumped garbage, contact RID Patrol and follow reports here.

Improper Lane Closure: Construction and utililty companies are required to have a permit for lane closures. Check to see if they have a current permit for the street closure. If they do not, call the Portland Bureau of Transportation inspection line and they will send an inspector to the job site [503-823-7002].

Dog Barking: Dog owners have a responsibility for the noise their pets make. Multnomah County has a defined escalation process to handle such incidents. More information can be found here.
