Violation procedures.
Oklahoma City Municipal Code § 34-9
in effect§ 34-9. - Violation procedures.
(a) The procedures for enforcing the provisions of this chapter pertaining to stationary sources of sound are as follows:
(1) in lieu of filing a complaint with the Municipal Court, the enforcement officer responsible for enforcement of any provision of this chapter may issue an order requiring abatement of any source of sound alleged to be in violation of this chapter within a reasonable time period. A reasonable time is such length of time as may fairly, properly, and reasonably be allowed or required having regard to the nature of the noise level and the attending circumstances.
(2) an abatement order shall not be issued when the enforcement officer has reason to believe that there will not be compliance with the abatement order.
(3) an abatement order is only applicable to noise violations from a stationary source of sound and is not applicable to any other violation of this chapter.
(b) In order to implement and enforce this chapter and for the general purpose of noise abatement and control, the enforcement officer or his representative shall have, in addition to any other authority vested in him, the power to:
(1) upon presentation of proper credentials, enter and inspect any private property or place and inspect any report or records at any reasonable time when granted permission by the owner, or by some other person with apparent authority to act for the owner. When permission is refused or cannot be obtained, a search warrant may be obtained from a court of competent jurisdiction upon showing of probable cause to believe that a violation of this chapter may exist. Such inspection may include administration of any necessary tests.
(2) stop any motor vehicle, motorcycle, or motorboat reasonably suspected of violating any provision of this chapter, and issue a notice of violation or abatement order which may require the motor vehicle, motorcycle, or motorboat to be inspected or tested as the enforcement officer may reasonably require.
