11-11(a): the city does not need a sound-level meter reading to prove the violation, unlike the numeric limits in Sec. 11-14. The daytime sound-level table in Sec. cutoff as a citywide marker for quieter nighttime standards. Any violation of Sec. 11-11 is also declared a nuisance under Sec. 11-16(d), so beyond a police or code compliance citation, the city attorney or an affected resident may sue in circuit court for injunctive relief under Chapter 60, Florida Statutes.
Violations & Fines
A verified complaint to the Coral Springs Police Department or Code Compliance Division supports a citation under City Code Sec. 1-8.1, with each occurrence a separate offense. Officers need no sound meter to cite the listed 10:00 p.m.-to-7:00-a.m. acts under Sec. 11-11(a)(4) and (a)(9); the activity and the clock are enough. A Sec. 11-11 violation is also a nuisance the city attorney or a neighbor can sue over under Sec. 11-16(d).
