Huntington Park, CA Noise Ordinances: Construction Hours (2026)

Huntington Park does not publish a stand-alone construction hours ordinance. The limit is built into the exceptions section of Article 5, Noise Standards, in the Zoning Code (Ordinance 666-NS, effective September 15, 2001). Section 9-3.504 makes it unlawful to willfully make or continue any loud, unnecessary or unusual noise that disturbs the peace or quiet of any neighborhood or constitutes a public nuisance. Section 9-3.506 then exempts listed activities from that article, and item 5 exempts noise sources associated with construction, repair, remodeling or grading of any real property, provided the activities do not take place between 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturdays, or at any time on Sundays or Federal holidays.

Work inside the barred window loses the exemption and is judged under § 9-3.504 and the § 9-3.505 standards, which include the loudness of the noise, the proximity of the noise to residential sleeping facilities, the time of day or night, and the duration and whether the noise is recurrent, intermittent or continuous. The code prints no decibel cap for construction in the City of Huntington Park.

Maintenance of real property runs on a different clock. Item 6 exempts it unless it happens between 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturdays, or earlier than 9:00 a.m. on Sundays and Federal holidays. Sunday property maintenance can therefore start at 9:00 a.m., while Sunday construction is barred at any hour. Item 4 exempts equipment connected with emergency machinery, vehicles or work, and item 7 exempts any activity to the extent regulation has been preempted by State or Federal law. Separately, § 9-3.507 bars the handling of building materials between 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. in a manner that causes a noise disturbance to a residential area.
