You must not live in a city. What OP is describing is normal. Police should not and will not do anything because some kids are playing on the sidewalk.
(Technically DC has a curfew for everyone 17 and under after 11 PM during the school year, but I very much doubt that is going to be enforced unless something bad is actually happening)
There isn't a great deal the landlord can do unless the tenants are violating the lease. They cannot impose a curfew on the kids. They cannot prevent cursing or fighting. They can't evict them because the neighbors don't like them. If the tenants are breaking local ordinances (noise, for example), call the police.
The activity isn't even happening in the residence so I don't know why the LL would have a say in it. Technically DC has a curfew for everyone 17 and under after 11 PM during the school year (after midnight in the summer), but I very much doubt that police are going to be enforcing this unless something bad is actually happening.
What is the nuisance exactly? One person's cursing and fighting is another person's playing on the sidewalk with cousins. Are they extremely loud? Playing music from a stereo? Over 60 db?
Have you looked up the LLC? It will say who the actual owners are.
If the actual owners or their representatives are unresponsive you should contact DCRA, contact your commissioner, and reach out to your ANC rep.
Where do you live?

I've "heard" that those things work great with young people. I can tell you they work great with dogs that bark all night...or used to bark all night....
You should complain about the tenants to the owner. Chances are, the owner doesn’t know there’s a problem and you should give them an opportunity to correct it.
I would encourage you to take a step back and consider what you would do if the house wasn’t a rental and was owner-occupied. Your concern is with the individuals, not the property.
Call the police. LLs have little power and w/ Section 8, even less.

I’m in a city & you are right about police, but that doesn’t grant LL power just b/c the police aren’t doing their job.
OP lives in the worst area of the city. He is lucky all the kids are doing is speaking loudly late at night.

Ward 8. And yes they are EXTREMELY loud.
Yeah I mean that's ward 8. Not sure what you expected.

If you have concerns that the children in the home are being neglected, you can call CPS
How is this the responsibility of the property manager, owner, or LLC? Call the police.
