Albany County garage sales typically run 8 AM to 6 PM. City of Albany noise ordinance Ch. 255 sets daytime limits to 10 PM. No specific time-of-day rule for yard sales, but noise, traffic, and sign rules apply. Weekend sales (Fri-Sun) are customary.
There is no Albany County- or City of Albany-specific hours regulation for residential garage sales, but effective hours are constrained by general noise, parking, and signage ordinances. Customary hours are 8 AM to 6 PM Friday through Sunday; some sellers start at 9 AM. City of Albany Noise Ordinance Chapter 255 prohibits unreasonable noise between 10 PM and 7 AM, effectively limiting sale activities during overnight hours. Vehicle and pedestrian traffic must not block fire hydrants, driveways, or emergency access (NY VTL §1202). In Winter (November through April), snow-covered sidewalks must still be cleared under local snow ordinances even during a sale. Spring and Fall are peak seasons — many Capital Region towns coordinate neighborhood sales weekends. All merchandise, tables, and tents must be removed or stored out of sight after sale hours to comply with property maintenance rules. Sign removal within 24 to 48 hours per Albany Ch. 375. NYS General Municipal Law does not preempt local time rules.
Operating outside reasonable hours / noise violation: City of Albany Ch. 255 noise citation $50 to $500. Blocking traffic: NY VTL §1202 up to $150. Items left at curb: Ch. 331 property maintenance citation $50 to $250.
