Showing ordinances that apply to South Hempstead, NY
South Hempstead is an unincorporated community (population 3,406) in Nassau County, New York. Because South Hempstead is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Nassau County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The construction hours rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Nassau County does not set countywide construction hours. Typical town and village rules restrict construction to 7 AM to 6 PM weekdays and 9 AM to 6 PM Saturdays, with no work on Sundays or holidays without a permit.
Nassau lacks a countywide construction-noise statute. Hempstead Town Code Chapter 89 (Noise), North Hempstead Chapter 49, Oyster Bay Chapter 183, Glen Cove Chapter 195, and Long Beach Chapter 20 each set their own start and stop times. Most Nassau villages follow a similar 7 AM weekday start. Projects receiving Nassau County Department of Public Works permits must also meet the host municipality noise schedule.
Early-morning or Sunday construction typically draws 250 to 1,500 dollar fines from town or village code enforcement. Repeat violators risk stop-work orders.
