Dance clubs in downtown Miami are disturbing nearby condo tower residents.
Miami's noise ordinance states that any noise audible more than 100 feet from the source is a violation.
City of Miami Commissioner Ken Russell says a rise in complaints over the noise from the three nightclubs in downtown Miami has the city moving code compliance officers to a midnight shift. However, the commissioner says it's not a one-sided issue.
"You certainly have to empathize with the clubs who've been in existence for a long time and are operating and a good business partner to the city. That being said, I do believe that there is compromise. I believe we can get along and work together," said Commissioner Russell.
The clubs plan to appeal their noise violations and reportedly may mount a legal challenge to the law at the appeal hearing Thursday.
