A. In a manner to create loud, unnecessary or unusual noise so as to
disturb or interfere with the peace, quiet and tranquility of others.
B. In a careless, reckless or negligent manner so as to endanger or
be likely to endanger the safety of others or the property of others.

the means of ingress and egress are adequate to prevent traffic hazard,
congestion or excessive interference with normal traffic movement
on adjacent public streets and thoroughfares and that the property
