§ 100.05 ADDITIONAL LIMITATION FOR CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY. The construction, alteration, repair, excavation, or demolition of any building or structure is to be con-ducted no earlier than 7:00 a.m. and no later than 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Such work on Saturdays is to be conducted no earlier than 8:00 a.m. and no later than 6:00 p.m. No such work is to be conducted on Sundays. All such work is to be conducted in the described hours and only after obtaining all appropriate permits and approvals from the City of Hollywood and all other applicable agencies. Should an urgent necessity or emergency condition that requires such work to be conducted outside these hours or on Sunday arise, a request to do so shall be provided in writing to the City's Chief Building Official.
Full Breakdown
Section 100.05 sets the construction noise window citywide: weekday work must run no earlier than 7:00 a.m. and no later than 6:00 p.m., Saturday work is compressed to 8:00 a.m. through 6:00 p.m., and no construction work at all may occur on Sundays. The section requires that all such work also hold every applicable permit and approval from the City of Hollywood and other agencies before it begins. If an urgent necessity or emergency condition requires work outside those hours or on a Sunday, the contractor or owner must submit a written request to the City's Chief Building Official, and the code is explicit that no construction work may proceed outside the stated time limits without the Building Official's prior written approval.
The section works alongside § 100.06, which lets the Director of Development Services grant short-term temporary noise permits, capped at three days, when construction under a valid building permit genuinely cannot comply with the hours or the chapter's decibel limits, provided the contractor uses manufacturer-specified noise baffling and keeps equipment in good repair.
Violations & Fines
Construction noise outside the permitted hours is enforced under Chapter 100's general penalty schedule in § 100.09: up to $100 for a first violation, up to $500 for a second within six months, and up to $1,000 per occurrence for a third or later violation, with each day of continuing work outside the window counted as a separate violation.
