STRs in Cuyahoga County must comply with each municipality's general noise ordinance. Cleveland quiet hours are 10 PM to 7 AM under Codified Ordinance 605.03. Most suburbs enforce similar 10 PM to 7 AM or 11 PM to 7 AM quiet periods. STR hosts are responsible for guest noise violations in most cities.
Cleveland Codified Ordinance 605.03 prohibits loud and raucous noise between 10 PM and 7 AM and allows enforcement by the Department of Public Safety. Many Cuyahoga suburbs hold STR operators directly liable for guest noise, and repeat violations can trigger revocation of the STR registration. Hosts commonly install noise monitoring devices like Minut or NoiseAware and post house rules. There is no countywide decibel limit; enforcement is complaint-driven and handled by local police.
Noise violations: $100-$500 per incident. STR revocation possible after 2-3 substantiated complaints in many suburbs.
