Full Breakdown
on weekends and legal holidays. Demolition, repair and alteration work on buildings, structures, streets, alleys and appurtenances using equipment with sound-control devices less effective than the equipment's original devices is barred in the same windows. The companion exemption at Sec. on weekends and legal holidays, provided every tool keeps its original sound-reducing features or an equally effective substitute. A contractor who needs to work outside those hours, for instance on a public works transportation or utilities project, can apply to the Coral Springs Police Department under Sec.
11-11(a)(13) for a special permit. The permit runs for up to thirty days and can be renewed for additional thirty-day periods if the underlying need continues; the city weighs public health, safety and convenience, and the hardship to the applicant, before granting it, and an application fee set by city commission resolution is due when the application is filed. No sound-level measurement is required to prove a violation of the after-hours construction rule: under Sec. weekdays is enough to support a citation.
Violations & Fines
Coral Springs Police or the Code Compliance Division cites after-hours construction under City Code Sec. 1-8.1 once a resident complaint is verified, with each occurrence charged as a separate violation. Because Sec. 11-11(a)(12) needs no decibel reading, the timestamp alone supports the citation. Sec. 11-16(d) also lets the city attorney or an affected citizen sue to abate a Sec. 11-11 violation as a nuisance in circuit court.
