Neighborhood Community
Remember that you are a part of a community, and your neighbors may be students, faculty, staff, local families. Be a good neighbor:
- Introduce yourself either in person or in writing
- Share your contact information so your neighbors can easily contact you if they have concerns
- Let your neighbors know ahead of time if you plan to have a social gathering that could cause noise or other disruptions
- Make sure you know about Boulder ordinances and common issues
- Be considerate of your neighbors - watch noise levels, etc

It is important to note that utilizing this form will not initiate ticketing from Boulder Police or involvement by Student Conduct & Conflict Resolution. It also will not initiate an immediate intervention from Off-Campus Housing & Neighborhood Relations. We certainly appreciate our Boulder neighbors using this form as an alternative to channels like police interaction but acknowledge that some off-campus incidents are better suited for the police to handle. The Boulder Police can be reached for non-emergencies at 303-441-3333.
