Your response that your office has not been aware of these noise complaints is very surprising to me as I know several complaints have been called into your office on several occasions. Even by me.
The CAM (Bosshardt Property Management) has been told about the after hours construction on several occasions but I am not surprised that "formal" complaints were not filed.
These noise and construction complaints have been regular since last May to both the City Code Enforcement and the community CAM to no avail.
With your response today, I expect that everyone is aware and will begin to enforce the rules and respect our tenants/residents peaceful enjoyment of there homes.
All residents are being given ALL individual emails so if the problems continue, they will be able to reach out for the help that should be expected. GPD will of course be their first call with an expectation of a response as well. Ms. Todd, Thank you for your correspondence regarding the issues at the Eagle Trace Townhomes construction site. I went back and checked the Code Enforcement files for previous complaints at this location and found one anonymous one from May of 2023, so we did not have the ability to contact anyone and advise the following: noise complaints are handled by the Gainesville Police Department and not Code Enforcement. When a noise violation occurs, whoever is witnessing the issue should contact the Combined Communications Center at 352-955-1818 and provide the information necessary for an Officer to respond. John Freeland, the Building Official for the City of Gainesville, is in regular contact with Contractors on site. He has also been made aware of your complaint and has forwarded the information to the Gainesville Police Department for follow-up. Peter F. Backhaus Code Enforcement Manager From: VICKI TODD <vftodd18690@gmail.com>

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Fwd: Eagle Trace Townhomes - Apt 2 It is unfortunate to have to bring problems to the Mayor and Board for which you have departments in the City that should be handling the problems listed below. We, the tenants and owners of MGZ, Inc., have filed complaints about the construction company's operations from the time they began building to no avail. The City has a Code Enforcement department that should be handling complaints against construction during restricted times but have apparently chosen not to enforce the City's own laws and restrictions about noise and construction. I know the City has a lot to gain (GRU bills online and City taxes on the books mostly) by getting these Units in Eagle Trace Townhomes constructed as quickly as possible, however this is no excuse to totally ignore the current residents of an existing neighborhood by not enforcing City Ordinances. The owners of the property that are in violation are Trace Holdings of Gainesville, LLC (CBRE Holdings 7, LLC, 200 S Andrews Ave, #402, Ft. Lauderdale, FL) and Trace Holdings 2, LLC. (NEW Commercial - Michael E Warren, 502 NW 16th Ave, Gainesville, FL ). I know that Mike Warren yields a lot of control in this town but that is no excuse to ignore the violations made by his company's contractors nor does it permit him to cause problems in this neighborhood. The City officials need to protect all their citizens and insure the citizen's individual rights to peaceful enjoyment of their homes. Attached please find only the latest violations. Thank you for your immediate attention with these problems not currently being handled by your City. Vicki F. Todd - Broker / Property Manager for MGZ, Inc. Our Place Real Estate, LLC 18690 NE 40 St, Williston, FL 32696 Good morning Vicki, There are two items of importance that we wanted to bring to your attention regarding Eagle Trace Community. I know we brought up the parking problem with the construction workers to you before, however lately there has been a problem with construction noise in the middle of the night. Recently they have started work before 3:00 a.m. with large trucks and motors pouring concrete at the building site across from us, revving engines, churning cement trucks, worker commotion, clattering, etc. One of our neighbors even called the police. As far as we know, Gainesville has a noise ordinance from 10pm to 8am. Please see the attached pictures with timestamp for documentation. Secondly, there's been a string of break-ins and car burglary in the neighborhood including this past Saturday night into Sunday. We would like to know what is being done from the HOA to prevent those breakings from continuing to happen. This is becoming quite worrisome which is now causing us to increase personal and property security measures. See attached a video of the latest incident. We have a slew of recommendations on how to make the neighborhood safer. This is a problem that is now not only affecting us but affecting many of our neighbors and the community as a whole. We would be happy to speak with you and the HOA directly to discuss possible security measures to curtail and deter future incidents like this. We would also like to know what is being done to move construction times to a later time. 3am is beyond unreasonable.
