Residents may post No Soliciting signs; solicitors must honor them. Violation of posted sign is summary offense. McKeesport maintains an informal no-knock registry through police department.
McKeesport's peddler and solicitor ordinance requires commercial solicitors to obtain a peddler's license from the city and carry identification while soliciting. Any posted 'No Soliciting' sign at a residence — regardless of wording or size, provided it is visible from the approach — legally prohibits commercial solicitors from knocking or ringing. Ignoring a posted sign is a summary offense. McKeesport Police maintain an informal no-knock list residents can join by calling the non-emergency line. Religious canvassers and political campaigners generally have First Amendment protections but courts have held that a posted sign still applies to commercial speech. Non-commercial canvassers should still respect posted preferences as a courtesy. Door-to-door work before 9 AM or after 8 PM is typically prohibited.
Ignoring posted No Soliciting sign: summary offense, $50-$300 fine. Soliciting without city permit: citation plus revocation of future permits. Aggressive or repeat conduct: disorderly conduct charge.
