Urban Honolulu STR operators and guests in Waikiki, Ala Moana, and Kakaako must comply with ROH Sec. 41-6.1, which bars unreasonable noise that disturbs neighbors.
ROH Sec. 41-6.1 prohibits loud, unnecessary, or unusual noise that disturbs the peace in any neighborhood of the City and County of Honolulu. The rule applies throughout Urban Honolulu, including the densely populated Waikiki towers, Ala Moana mixed-use buildings, and Kakaako high-rises, where amplified sound, late-night parties, and lanai noise most often draw complaints. LUO Sec. 21-4.80 sets additional zoning noise rules, and Chapter 41 Article 31 supplies technical noise measurement definitions. STR house rules required under Sec. 21-5.730 must reference these standards.
HPD issues citations for noise nuisances, and condominium associations often layer their own quiet-hour fines. Repeated documented incidents can support DPP registration revocation.
