Construction Noise Rules & Regulations

You are allowed to conduct construction on your property between 7am and 6pm on weekdays. At all other times, including anytime on the weekends, you must apply for after-hours authorization. Any person or business doing construction in the city must develop a Construction Noise Mitigation Plan before the start of construction or renovation. You will need to check off that you have a Construction Noise Mitigation Plan in your Department of Buildings application for a construction permit. If you are seeking an after-hours construction permit with the Department of Buildings or Department of Transportation (also known as a variance), you must have your Construction Noise Mitigation plan already in place.

All Construction Noise and Alternative Noise Mitigation Plans must be filed online using the forms listed on this page. Copies of the plans must also be available on site in case we inspect your business or property. To avoid fines, be sure that your contractor(s) is aware of these construction activity requirements. For general noise information, visit New York City Noise Code.
