Quiet hours in Westchester County, NY — also called the noise ordinance, nighttime noise rules, or residential quiet time — define the hours during which excessive noise is prohibited.
Westchester County has limited noise jurisdiction — mainly county parks and county-owned property. Residential quiet hours are set by each of the 45 cities, towns, and villages individually.
Westchester County Code does not establish countywide residential quiet hours. NY is a home rule state, so quiet hours vary by municipality (Yonkers, White Plains, Greenburgh, Mount Pleasant, etc.). Most Westchester municipalities set nighttime quiet hours from 10pm or 11pm to 7am. County Parks Department enforces noise rules within county park boundaries.
Violations enforced by local police or code enforcement. Fines typically $50-$500 depending on municipality.
