I am having an issue with it. Does anyone know the legal hours work can be done? The work crew near me was out and working at 7am today.


This post is from 2007, but the ordinance cited says construction is permitted 7am-6pm on weekdays.

Just remember that construction from Monday thru Friday can start at 7am & end at 6pm. On Saturday from 9am to 5 pm by special permit only. No work on Sundays.

Seeing as how 65 dB is a normal conversation I doubt that is the threshold.

I think construction comes with its attendant noise and if you are not used to it, there is not much the construction company can do provided they are working normal hours and not on weekends.

Yeah, i guess you may have to work in the library or something or install sound proofing, though i don't think any amount of sound proofing would dampen the sound of pile driving and hammering.

Not sure what to tell you, though. Some people have suggested soundproofing solutions and contractors, and a search through the site should yield some results.

Good luck. I work from home often, but my place is rather quiet and I normally have music in the background when concentrating.
