Full Breakdown

Pueblo Municipal Code § 11-1-607(d)(5) subjects construction projects to the maximum permissible noise levels set for industrial zones, 80 db(A) between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., 75 db(A) overnight, for the period within which construction must be completed under the applicable construction permit. If no permit deadline is imposed, the industrial limit still applies for a reasonable period until the project is finished. The Section sets no separate construction clock-hours; it ties allowable noise to the industrial-zone db(A) ceiling for the life of the permit rather than banning work at fixed times.

Violations & Fines

Construction noise above the industrial-zone db(A) ceiling is a public nuisance and Class 2 municipal offense under § 11-1-607(a), fined up to $1,000 plus a $25 surcharge under § 11-1-103(f).
