Construction hours in Pico Rivera, CA — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Pico Rivera's noise chapter sets no citywide construction-hour limits. City-issued grading and public-works permits restrict work to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on residential streets, and excessive construction noise is enforceable as a nuisance.
PRMC Chapter 8.40 contains no dedicated construction-hours section, so no fixed start/stop times for private building work are written into the noise code. Instead, the city imposes hour limits through permit conditions: the City of Pico Rivera grading permit specifies working hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on local residential streets and 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on major arterials and collector streets unless otherwise approved. City inspections run 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Construction noise that is unnecessary or annoying to a neighborhood can still be cited under the general nuisance standard of PRMC 8.40.010.
No noise-code construction-hour fine; permit hour conditions are enforced by Public Works, and out-of-hours or annoying construction noise is citable as a nuisance under PRMC 8.40.010.
