You can report noise from construction, including jackhammering and construction activity during, before, or after hours.

Residential Construction is allowed between 7 AM and 6 PM on weekdays. Alterations or repairs to existing one-family or two-family, owner-occupied dwellings, convents or rectories may also be performed on Saturdays and Sundays between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM.

Commercial, Street, and Highway Construction is allowed on weekdays between 7 AM and 6 PM. However, emergency work necessary for public safety, or work that cannot be performed during normal work hours may occur after hours or on weekends.

Work may take place at other times only if the site has a construction variance from the City.

You can report noise even if a site has a variance.
