STR guests must follow the noise code of the town or village where the property is located. Most Nassau municipalities enforce quiet hours 10 PM-7 AM and prohibit amplified sound audible at property lines.
There is no countywide STR noise rule. Town of Hempstead Code Ch. 139 and Town of North Hempstead Code Ch. 50 prohibit unreasonable noise. Many villages require STR hosts to post house rules with quiet hours. Repeat noise complaints can trigger permit revocation in jurisdictions with STR registration. NY has no state noise decibel standard, so local enforcement controls.
Noise violations: $250-$1,000 typical. Three strikes often result in STR permit suspension.
