Chino has no STR-specific quiet-hours or 'one-strike' noise rule because short-term rentals are banned citywide under Chino Municipal Code §20.24.020. General residential noise rules in Title 7 (Public Welfare, Morals and Conduct) and Title 8 (Health and Safety) — which prohibit loud, unreasonable, or disturbing noise — apply to all residents and would govern any unlawful STR activity, but no STR-tailored decibel thresholds, three-strike permit-revocation, or 24-hour hotline exists.
Many California STR-permit cities (Palm Springs, Newport Beach, Oakland) impose STR-specific noise rules such as quiet hours 10 p.m.–8 a.m., on-site 'responsible party' contact requirements, and permit revocation after 2–3 substantiated complaints. Chino has none of these because no STR permit exists. General Chino noise enforcement uses standard nuisance language in the municipal code and California Civil Code §3479 (private nuisance) / §3480 (public nuisance). A neighbor disturbed by an illegal STR can report both the unlawful land use (Code Enforcement, 909-334-3263) and the noise (Chino Police non-emergency, 909-334-3000).
Noise complaints at a suspected STR will typically generate two parallel actions: (1) noise/nuisance citation under Title 7/8, and (2) STR-ban citation under §20.24.020 at up to $1,000/day. Repeat noise nuisance can support an abatement action.
