There are indications that the complaints are focused on the restaurant "La Catrina", and the noise generated between 9pm and 2am. One of the group said that the high volume of the live music and the shouts of the patrons, who are mostly foreigners, which continue late into the night, keep him/her from sleeping.
Por Esto published the text of the complaint, which names "Stingray" as the noise source.

PGR continues their investigation into the case of the five fishermen from Isla Mujeres who disappeared
http://www.tvislamujeres.com.mx/…/pgr-sigue-indagando-sobr…/
Last week, interviews were conducted with the wives and families of the five fishermen who have been missing since March 30, by personnel of the PGR (Office of the Attorney General), who are in charge of investigating the case. Nothing is known about the men or their boat, "Anastacia" since they disappeared.
The families said that thanks to the intervention of the CNDH (National Commission of Human Rights), the PGR finally responded to the request by the families to investigate the whereabouts of the missing fishermen. It is noted that there have been many hypothesis heard about this case, unofficial versions, which are now being investigated by this Federal agency. The families insist that they want to know the whereabouts of their relatives, even if this involves bad news.

Noise pollution complaints
Grave problema de contaminación auditiva. [+] Ver masPhoto & full article at this link
A group of neighbors are delivering a written complaint to the City government and to the Human Rights Commission regarding noise pollution from a new business, in the area of Hidalgo and Adolfo Lopez Mateos avenues.
The complaint says they live in apartments above these streets, near the corner where the business "Stingray" is located, which operates as a restaurant-disco-bar. The document states that this business has been in the local press frequently concerning noise complaints from neighbors. It says the neighbors have asked, via the media, for the authorities to intervene, "to put an end to this hell that has become our lives at night, especially when trying to sleep", but says they have not gotten a positive response.
The document includes information from WHO (World Health Organization) advising that constant exposure to high noise levels can cause physical effects, which are listed. Justification for this petition includes noting that elderly people at bedtime should not be exposed to noise over 30 decibels within their home and 45 db outside. An assertion is made that most countries have regulations for residential areas limiting noise to 55 db between 7am and 9pm, which is equivalent to the noise produced by an window air conditioner, and limited to 45 db at night which is equivalent to a street with a small amount of traffic. A comparison is given: a vacuum cleaner produces 70db, a noisy motorcycle is 100-110db, and a nightclub averages 120db.
The document requests that the director of the Ecology department and the Secretary General implement the regulations that exist against noise pollution to end this "serious problem that afflicts us and endangers our physical, organic, mental, and emotional health, and is causing the deterioration of our families' lives". The regulations are listed, and the petition claims that the local business, "Stingray", is operating outside of these regulations.
They say they are appealing to the City's administrative competence, without prejudice for other measures which could be taken. Their petition concludes: "We reserve the right to combat noise pollution that may harm us. We are confident and hopeful that by appealing to your sense of social responsibility there will be a prompt and favorable response to our request, which will prevent us from resorting to other legal recourse."

Trash receptacles removed and trash reappears
Retiran contenedores y reaparece la basuratan.. [+] Ver masPhoto & full article at this link
Workers with the Department of Public Services were ordered to remove several large plastic trash receptacles at various points around the island, and there is a lack of scheduled collection times. This is causing trash to be strewn by animals in the streets, according to complaints from residents of colonia La Gloria. Workers said the public was not advised prior to the removal of the trash containers.
A lack of maintenance to the trash collection fleet is blamed for the problems with irregularly scheduled pick ups.The lack of functioning equipment is also blamed for causing a back-up of trash at the Transfer Facility, where it is moved to the mainland landfill. This generates complaints from residents and businesses near the facility.
About 40 tonnes of trash are removed from the island daily, and this volume is doubled with the Continental Zone, but it is more problematic on the island. The collections which were being done by three-ton vehicles are now being done by two half-ton trucks. There is not enough of a fleet to meet the demands, especially when summer vacation arrives.This issue was a principle demand during the last election period.
