Light spilling onto adjacent residential property above 0.5 foot-candles at the property line is considered a nuisance and can be cited under Sandy code.
Sandy code enforcement treats unwanted light spillover as a nuisance violation. Light trespass onto residential properties above 0.5 foot-candles measured at the property line requires the offending fixture to be shielded, redirected, or dimmed. Common complaints involve bright security lights, commercial parking lot lights, and residential landscape lighting aimed at neighbors. Code enforcement investigates and can require fixture modification within 30 days.
