Full Breakdown
m. on Saturday, and is banned outright on Sunday and on Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. "Construction activity" is defined broadly to mean erection, excavation, demolition, alteration or repair of any building. The Building Officer can issue an emergency permit letting work continue during otherwise-prohibited hours, but only for the duration of the emergency, and where feasible the Building Officer must notify residents within 300 feet before the emergency work starts. Separately, the Building Officer may issue a permit for off-hours work if satisfied the location or nature of the activity will not impair the peace, comfort and tranquility of nearby residential occupants.
The section exempts minor repairs or routine maintenance of residential dwelling units from the schedule entirely, so small homeowner fixes are not swept into the curfew. This sits inside Chapter 24 (Noise) of Title 4, enforced by the City's Noise Control Officer for most provisions in the chapter.
Violations & Fines
A violation of § 4-24.503 is a misdemeanor under the Code's general penalty provision, punishable by a fine of up to $1,000, imprisonment of up to six months, or both. The Noise Control Officer can also issue an abatement order or notice of violation before criminal enforcement, and the City may seek a civil injunction against a continuing violation under § 4-24.804.
