This matches my understanding of the situation.  David accurately
characterizes what I heard from the landlord during our discussion, and
I was present for the out-the-window complaint on Tuesday night.  There
were perhaps a dozen people standing on our sidewalk having boistrous
conversations, and as a fellow mission dweller I know how annoying that
can be outside one's bedroom window.

Let's try to keep it down outside after 11 PM.  We don't have to be
completely quiet; talking to another person outside is reasonable.
OTOH 6 guys with beers standing outside are just naturally going to
raise their voices and likely disturb the neighbors.
