What are the allowed construction hours?
July 31, 2024
Construction. Noise generated from the erection, excavation, demolition, alteration, or repair of any building or development are expressly not permitted during the hours and dates written below. These restrictions apply to all construction activities unless deemed urgently necessary for public health and safety, in which case a permit from the building official is required for alternative hours. Such permits may be granted for a period not exceeding three days, renewable for additional three-day periods during the continuation of the emergency.
If the building official determines that construction activities at times other than the below stated hours would not compromise public health and safety, and that denial of a request to perform construction activities outside the below stated hours and dates would result in significant loss or hardship to involved parties, permission may be granted for such work. Requests for nighttime work must be submitted when the initial construction permit is awarded or during the project’s progress. Commercial and residential construction activities for renovation, tenant finish work and maintenance purposes performed inside of buildings are permitted between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Sundays. Minor residential construction activities conducted by the property owner, a resident of the property or the owner’s or resident’s contractor, including work on fences, decks, sheds, and yard maintenance within the property’s boundaries, are permitted on Sundays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
