Full Breakdown
Sec. 30-102(4) of the Wyoming, Michigan Code of Ordinances names the covered equipment specifically: piledrivers, shovels, hammers, derricks, hoists, tractors, rollers, or any other mechanical apparatus used in building or construction operations. curfew applies only within 600 feet of a residence or hospital, and it does not apply to work on essential services. If a crew needs to work past the curfew on a large job, Sec. 30-108 provides a variance route through the city council: the applicant files with the city clerk, the building official investigates and reports, and the council holds a public hearing with mailed notice to owners within 300 feet before granting, conditioning, or denying relief.
Separately, Sec. 30-107 gives neighbors a way to complain about construction noise: any citizen may file a complaint, and if the contractor corrects the problem immediately after the city's direction, there is no fine for a first offense; only a failure to fix it within the time a city official sets triggers the article's penalties.
Violations & Fines
Because Chapter 30 sets no special construction-hours fine, the default schedule in Sec. 1-27 applies once a complaint under Sec. 30-107 goes uncorrected: $75 for a first municipal civil infraction, $500 for a second within a year, and $2,500 for a third, with each day of continued violation a separate offense.
