Waipahu yard and landscaping crews must follow HAR 11-46 leaf blower hours: 8am-7pm weekdays and 9am-7pm Sundays and holidays.
State HAR 11-46 limits leaf blower and weedwhacker operation in or within 100 feet of residentially zoned land to 8am-7pm Monday through Saturday and 9am-7pm Sunday and holidays. Waipahu's small-lot plantation-era homes leave little buffer between blower operators and neighbors' windows, making the 100-foot residential trigger easily met. Because Honolulu has no separate leaf blower chapter, crews serving Waipahu single-family homes, condo complexes, and the Waipio Shopping Center vicinity follow the state rule. Hawaii DOH accepts complaints, and HPD can respond if noise also violates ROH Section 41-6.1.
DOH can impose warnings and administrative fines for HAR 11-46 violations. Repeat Waipahu offenders, including commercial landscapers, can face escalating enforcement.
