Fort Lee restricts leaf blower use to specified daytime hours, with seasonal limits on gas-powered units to reduce neighborhood noise.
Fort Lee Borough regulates the use of leaf blowers to limit noise and air pollution in residential zones. Leaf blowers may generally be operated between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on weekdays and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, with Sunday use prohibited or sharply limited. Commercial landscapers must follow stricter operator and equipment standards, and gas-powered blowers may be subject to summer-month restrictions.
