Allegheny County has no countywide leaf-blower ordinance. A few municipalities (notably Mt. Lebanon and Sewickley) restrict gas-powered blower hours; Pittsburgh limits commercial landscaping noise to 7 AM to 9 PM.
No ACHD or county code addresses leaf blowers. Municipal rules dominate. Mt. Lebanon limits commercial landscaping equipment to 8 AM to 6 PM Mon-Fri, 9 AM to 5 PM Sat, prohibited Sundays/holidays. Pittsburgh Code §601 treats leaf blowers as amplified noise subject to 7 AM to 10 PM. No current Allegheny municipality has adopted the California-style gas-blower ban.
Municipal citations typically $50 to $300 per incident.
