In Louisiana, if a law requires exemptory exceptions to be written in the administrative code and no such exemptions have been written, is the law defective and can it be enforced? Specifically, if Louisiana Code sec.295.2 prohibits wearing headphones while driving but exempts an 'instrument for the improvement of defective human hearing,' and I use noise-canceling headphones for medical necessity, can I be exempted from this law if the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) refuses to carry out its duties under the law? Are there precedents under Louisiana law that would make the statute unenforceable against me as long as the responsible party refuses to carry out its duties, or must I argue the merits of my case to the judge in the absence of the mandated judgment of the DMV? Also, does the judge have jurisdiction and authority to order the DMV to comply?

There is a high-profile construction site in front of my window that has been ongoing for over a year. The noise from cranes beeping all day, including Saturdays, and generators at night is making it impossible for me to work from home. I have complained to the NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) but received no relief. What legal actions can I take to address this issue?
