Suffolk County STR noise rules are enforced at the town level. East Hampton, Southampton, and Southold all impose enhanced noise penalties on rental properties with strict quiet hours (typically 10 PM-7 AM or 11 PM-7 AM) and graduated fines that can trigger rental permit revocation.
East Hampton Town Code Chapter 184 prohibits unreasonable noise with quiet hours 11 PM-7 AM. Southampton Town Code Chapter 235 sets quiet hours 10 PM-7 AM with a 65 dBA daytime / 50 dBA nighttime residential limit. Three noise violations at a rental property within 24 months in Southampton trigger automatic rental permit revocation. Southold and Brookhaven enforce similar nuisance provisions. Outdoor amplified music at rentals generally prohibited after 10 PM. Code enforcement officers respond to complaints directly and can cite the property owner regardless of tenant conduct.
East Hampton: 500-1,500 dollars first offense, doubled for repeats. Southampton: 8,000 dollars per noise violation at registered rental; 3 strikes = permit revocation.
