Construction hours in Croydon, PA — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Croydon is an unincorporated CDP inside Bristol Township, Bucks County, so construction noise is regulated by the Township's noise ordinance in the Code of the Township of Bristol (Ch. 113, Noise). Construction, demolition, drilling, blasting, and excavation are prohibited between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. Day-to-day noise must not exceed 55 dBA in residential zones between 7 a.m.-10 a.m. or 45 dBA between 10 p.m.-7 a.m., measured 30 feet from the source.
Bristol Township's noise ordinance (codified at Chapter 113 of the Code of the Township of Bristol and hosted on eCode360) makes it unlawful for any person to make, cause, suffer, or permit excessive noise by means of vehicles, machinery, equipment, or other means that is physically annoying to a reasonable person. The construction provision states that operations and the use of tools or equipment used in construction, drilling, blasting, demolition, excavation, and extraction are prohibited between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Croydon, a ~10,000-resident CDP along the Delaware River, is fully covered by these Township rules; the CDP has no separate borough government. Bucks County itself has no county-wide construction-hours ordinance, so the Township code controls. Permitted activities outside those hours require a waiver from the Township.
Violations are summary offenses with a minimum fine up to $100, doubling for repeat offenses within twelve months. Continued violations can be cited daily, and enforcement is handled by the Bristol Township Police Department and Code Enforcement.
