Brit @britvulcan.net · 18/09/2026A and B are separate clauses. So if it is audibly triggered while folks are Not on the property that is still a nuisance. Additionally if your apartment neighbor has an extremely loud alarm that is also reportable. Although the real solution there might be better building soundproofing in some cases 010
