I donīt know how you will take this comment but:
If the light is that annoying and if I were you, I would try to break it.
I know it's violent, but if nobody gives you another answer to the problem... I think it's for a better good.

Juancito, well, here's the thing... Even if breaking common property was acceptable, it would only add a few days to "solving" the problem, because the light would be fixed. And frankly, I would rather not to engage into breaking stuff around my house! :-)

What I've done with other lights around that area sometimes is to cover them while I'm imaging, then uncover them when I'm done, and I guess I could do the same for this light.

The problem the "big picture", where a city worker sees a light that is off, and immediately orders the light is turned back on "or you will be violating city code". The thing is, I don't think it would be violating anything, as the illumination in this area is already annoying. If all it takes is for the city to measure illumination and verify that without that light the area is still considered ok (it is excessive I assure you), then that's what should be done.
