Noise & Neighbors
Quiet hours, barking dogs, construction mornings, and the other rules that decide disputes across a property line.
Sound, animals, and shared fences all raise the same question: what may cross a property line, and at what hour. Noise crosses it under either a decibel table read by meter or a plainly-audible standard read by ear. Quiet hours starting near 10 p.m. do the daily enforcement work, and exemptions for permitted construction and emergency repairs decide half the arguments before they start.
Complaints drive everything. What matters in practice is whoever answers the non-emergency line, what evidence they act on, and whether a warning precedes the citation. The neighbor disputes that feel legal, the barking log, the bass at midnight, resolve through that machinery or not at all.
