New Albany looks tight from the street, and a lot of the houses are. The weak spot is still the roofline. A builder vent, a fascia corner, or a drip edge that stops short of the rake is enough. Squirrels find it. Raccoons enlarge it.
Lots here often back up to woods, a creek, or a maintained tree line. That is a sidewalk onto the roof. People are surprised because the house is new. New is not the same as closed. We walk the edges, not only the hole you can already see.
ZIP 43054 is a normal stop. If the noise is only in the morning, say so. If it is after midnight, say that instead. The clock is the best clue you can give us before we arrive.
