Short-term rental operators in East Honolulu must ensure guests comply with Honolulu's prohibited noise ordinance, particularly during night hours in quiet coastal neighborhoods.
ROH Sec. 41-6.1 prohibits unreasonable noise that disturbs neighbors. In East Honolulu's low-density residential areas like Hawaii Kai Marina and Koko Head, STR house rules required under Sec. 21-5.730 must reference compliance with city noise standards. Complaints can be filed with the Honolulu Police Department or DPP. Operators are responsible for guest conduct and may face registration revocation for repeated violations. Noise from pool gatherings, amplified music, and parties on lanais is common trigger for enforcement action in this area.
Amplified music after 10 PM, loud parties, construction noise in prohibited hours, or barking dogs disturbing neighbors.
