For the third time in two weeks, another Ceres resident has brought a code enforcement nightmare they’re dealing with to the attention of the Ceres City Council.

Alan Juarez, who moved into a home in the 1000 block of San Pedro Avenue 21 years ago, told the council last week about an ongoing issue with his neighbor. He presented photos of a 27-foot-long trailer parked 8 inches away from the property line with “some guy who wants to … live in that trailer, all day long, all night long with his music playing, his air conditioning going on. And sometimes when it’s cooler in the evening he opens up his slider that faces my backyard about 10-15 feet away from my backyard window. I can’t even sit in my back yard, I can’t even have my backyard window open because this guy can hear every word that’s going on in my house. He can hear phone calls.”

Juarez said he’s nicely spoken to the property owner who has given the excuse that he’s only there temporarily.

He asked for the city’s help.

Juarez presented another grievance about another neighbor who has positioned high intensity LED lights in his back yard at 3693 Boulder Falls Court which flood his yard.

“Have you guys ever stared into a high intensity light?” Juarez asked of the council. “It’s like going into a torture cell with somebody trying to torture you.”

He asked the neighbor three times to tone down the lights but was told no “you’re just going to have to deal with it.”

Juarez said coming to the council was a “last ditch effort trying to figure out how do I get considerations for me because my neighbors think that I don’t matter.”

Mayor Javier Lopez said he would pass the information along to code enforcement.
