A SINN Féin councillor said he is "hopeful" that the Twelfth demonstrations will pass off peacefully in north Belfast.
Councillor JJ Magee said residents in the predominantly nationalist New Lodge had complained they had been kept awake by "partying and loud music" from a contentious loyalist bonfire near an interface over the weekend.
However, he said tensions were "nowhere near as bad as last year" after community representatives had worked hard to resolve any issues.
The bonfire on Adam Street is near the interface between Tiger's Bay and New Lodge.
"There were still people there (on Sunday) at 9 o'clock in the morning," Mr Magee said.
He added that on Sunday night and yesterday morning residents were kept awake by "loud music coming from Adam Street until two o'clock in the morning and people running about".
He said bonfire builders had been collecting materials for the pyre, which was lit yesterday evening along with hundreds of other Eleventh Night bonfires, since January.
Last year, the bonfire site was at the centre of a failed High Court bid by communities minister, Sinn Féin's Deirdre Hargey, and then infrastructure minister, the SDLP's Nichola Mallon, to force police to assist in its removal. Police had said helping contractors remove the bonfire would risk disorder.
On Thursday night, petrol bombs were thrown near the bonfire. It was reported that a group of youths had gathered in the nationalist Duncairn Gardens area close to the bonfire shortly before launching the attack. Police said they are treating the attack as a hate crime.
Mr Magee said residents from the New Lodge chased four young men who threw the petrol bombs.
"Residents were out right away, condemning them and chasing them on," he said.
"We're working really hard. The residents are talking to me on a daily basis. If they see anyone gathering, they get on to me and I get on to community workers and police. They are being dispersed and moved on.
"Everyone in the community is working together to diffuse any situation that might happen from the New Lodge end."
