What makes the record useful
- Photograph the condition from the same spot on your property or the public street, once a week.
- Include something that fixes the location, such as the house number or a shared wall.
- Log what reaches you: odor, flies, rodents, blowing debris.
- Keep pest control reports. Ask the technician to note where the activity is coming from.
- File a code enforcement complaint and record the case number. Photograph again after any deadline the agency sets.
Equipment and settings
- Do not go onto the neighbor's property to take photographs.
- A video monitor aimed at your own property line can record dumping and blowing debris.
Stay on the right side of the line
- Record from your own property. Do not enter your neighbor's property to gather evidence.
- Do not record private conversations, and do not aim a camera into a neighbor's windows or private areas.
- Write facts, not opinions. "Music audible in bedroom with windows closed, 11:40 PM to 1:15 AM" is useful. "Inconsiderate again" is not.
- Keep original files. Do not edit, trim, or filter them.

Two to four weeks of consistent entries shows a pattern. If the nuisance is hard to capture yourself, ask about evidence monitoring.
