Why is my old neighbor mowing his lawn almost every day. Do I have recourse to report him?

np He may have the right but, he isn't neighborly since he is annoying people. I get it op. My neighbor's dad is older and he enjoys mowing the lawn and you can't enjoy being outside AND he takes forever to get the job done. Not much I can do honestly but, go inside when he is out there.

Are you seriously suggesting people don't mow to make you happy? You see my middle finger?

Unfortunately gas powered lawn equipment is exempt from the noise ordinance. However this may be a good case for excessive.

Are there any rules on this, I understand once or twice a week but almost every day is excessive.

He is retired probably age 60+

Then your windows and/or home insulation clearly sucks. Fix your crappy house and this won’t be a problem.

Maybe point out to him that it isn't good for the lawn.

He's just enjoying the nice weather in his way. When it's 100 degrees he'll stop.

Report him? To whom? The lawnmower police?

It's actually better to mow more often to get rid of weeds.

Maybe you should work from the office or invest in some noise blocking headphones.

I will trade you for my neighbor. Their grass has never seen a mower, they have a million POs cars out front and they have unleashed dogs.

Are you worried that he doesn’t realize he just did it - ie memory loss/dementia/stroke? If so, talk to him, otherwise just ignore.

This --- very odd OP.

This is very odd
I’m sure the constant noise on a daily basis is very upsetting
Yes he can mow his lawn but it’s the same as smoking or talking loud on your phone, it effects other people and that not ok!
I once had a neighbor who would mow his lawn late at night with a push mower.

He’s either old, retired, a bit off or has a grudge against a neighbor
I don’t like to recommend 911 but I also don’t recommend talking to him.
If people cared or thought about their actions and how it may bother other people then they wouldn’t do it
Like talking loud on their phone and smoking. They don’t care. I do believe their are some people that just don’t realize the impact
of their actions but most don’t care unless they are under 26 and their minds do not think that way yet.

What if you sat outside and tried to talk to him about random stuff. He would have to stop mowing to answer and you can get a better sense of him.
Otherwise start mowing your lawn at 2 am and see how he likes it

How big do you assume the neighbor's yard is? A football field? Maybe OP could go out to grab coffee during the mowing hour. Or, take a call while on a walk. Or, take a Xanax.

You sound like my dad. He was furious at the neighbors for letting their dog bark during his afternoon nap. If you want quiet during the day, move out of the suburbs.

Well it would be less neighborly to let the yard get overgrown and unsightly. If they are annoyed, (which they dont seem to be since they leave the house and f
go to work like normal adults and not like all these weirdo introverted people who apparently cant function in adult society anymore) they can come over and volunteer to do it for him. Otherwise my 85 year old dad on a fixed income is just going to do what he does to maintain his property.
