1230-1264 Washington St, Boston, MA 02118June 26, 2026 – 2:46 a.m. I am reporting excessive late-night noise outside Alex Pizza, located at 1252 Washington Street, Boston, MA 02118. Loud music from vehicles and people gathered outside reached approximately 96 decibels, as measured on my phone (see attached photo of the decibel reading). The noise was loud enough to wake me up from sleep and could be clearly heard from inside my home with the windows closed. This appears to be a recurring violation of Boston’s noise ordinance and is creating an ongoing disturbance to the surrounding residential neighborhood during overnight hours. Earlier today, I submitted Report #101006709929 regarding multiple vehicles that were illegally parked outside this same location. At that time, a Boston police officer was present while numerous vehicles remained illegally parked, yet no apparent enforcement action was taken. The same pattern of late-night disturbances is continuing. I respectfully request increased late-night police oversight and enforcement of all applicable laws and ordinances, including Boston’s noise ordinance and any other state or local laws governing excessive noise, disorderly conduct, and disturbances of the peace. The repeated excessive noise is disrupting nearby residents’ ability to sleep and enjoy the quiet use of their homes, and the apparent lack of enforcement has allowed these disturbances to continue. Please investigate this recurring issue and take appropriate enforcement action to restore the peace and protect the quality of life of residents.

Illegal Parking
1250 Washington St, Roxbury, Ma, 02118June 26, 2026 – 2:46 a.m. Seven vehicles have been illegally parked for hours in the bus and bike lane outside Alex Pizza, located at 1252 Washington Street, Boston, MA 02118. Loud music from the vehicles and people gathered outside woke me up from sleep and continues to disturb the neighborhood. This is not an isolated incident. Earlier today, I submitted Report #101006709929, documenting a nearly identical scene at this location. As shown in the photos attached to that report, a Boston police officer was repeatedly entering and exiting Alex Pizza while the illegally parked vehicles remained in place, and no enforcement action appeared to be taken. Given the repeated nature of these violations and the apparent lack of enforcement, I am requesting increased police oversight and consistent day time and late-night enforcement at this location. The illegally parked vehicles continue to block the bus and bike lane, forcing buses, cyclists, and other motorists into moving traffic and creating an ongoing public safety hazard. Please dispatch parking enforcement and police to address the illegal parking, excessive noise, and recurring public safety concerns.
