Loud parties in Nassau County are addressed under town and village noise ordinances, with NCPD or local police authorized to break up gatherings creating unreasonable noise after quiet hours, typically ten or eleven at night.
Each Nassau town - Hempstead, North Hempstead, Oyster Bay - and the cities of Glen Cove and Long Beach maintain noise ordinances setting quiet hours generally between 10 or 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. Loud parties, amplified music, and disorderly gatherings during quiet hours can be cited as nuisances. Repeat-offender properties may be deemed public nuisances and subject to escalating fines or, for rentals, abatement against the landlord. Hosts who knowingly allow underage drinking face additional liability under New York's social-host laws. Some villages, especially Long Beach and Garden City, take a stricter line during summer.
Hosting parties violating quiet hours, refusing to lower amplified sound after a warning, or hosting gatherings with underage drinking can result in fines, civil nuisance abatement, and social-host liability.
