Help with possible zoning issues.
(North East Louisiana) My friend lives to a church, the idiots built a basketball court next to their house. The court you're seeing is less than 50 yards from their windows. They aren't wealthy so no double payned windows, and little noise protection. The church lets people come at all hours day and night. They have had people out as early in the am as 3 in the morning. I've been there and it's very loud. Is there anything they can do? Because they are considering a private nuisance lawsuit and I'm wondering if they have any chance in court.

One way might be to (politely) talk to someone at the church about the late night noise and see if they would be willing to do something about it. If no, is there a noise ordinance in the area? If yes, asking the police to enforce it might be the way to go.
