Buffalo does not impose specific time-of-day restrictions on garage sales, though sales should be conducted during reasonable daytime hours consistent with noise and nuisance ordinances.
The Buffalo City Code does not specify particular hours when garage or yard sales must begin or end. However, sales are expected to be conducted during reasonable daytime hours. Evening or nighttime sales could potentially trigger noise complaints under the city's noise ordinance if they generate excessive traffic or commotion. Most garage sales in Buffalo typically operate between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Sales on weekdays during morning hours are common from spring through fall. Setup and teardown activities should also respect neighbors and noise standards.
While there are no specific garage sale hour violations, sales conducted at unreasonable hours that disturb neighbors may be addressed through noise or nuisance complaint processes.
