Lynn sets no gas leaf-blower ban and no blower-specific hours. Section 4(o) of the noise ordinance requires blowers and their engines to be muffled, and general noise limits apply if a blower disturbs the neighborhood.
Massachusetts has no statewide leaf-blower ban, and Lynn has not adopted one. The city's noise ordinance addresses blowers in Section 4(o), which bars operating any noise-creating blower or power fan unless the engine carries a muffler sufficient to deaden the noise. A blower loud enough to disturb the neighborhood can still draw a citation under the ordinance's general prohibition in Section 3. Lynn Police enforce, and there is no separate seasonal or hourly leaf-blower schedule as some wealthier suburbs have adopted.
Running an unmuffled blower, or any blower loud enough to disturb neighbors, is a $300 offense under Section 5, with each day a separate violation, enforced by Lynn Police.
