When can noisy work be carried out in an apartment? Quiet hours: where to complain about noisy neighbors, shops and builders. More information about renovation work

As well as other households, they often face situations when they want to have a normal rest, or go to work the next day, but the neighbors are playing loud music or doing repairs. It is clear that this is their right, but there are legal norms that protect the recreation of other citizens and prohibit making noise on weekends and weekdays until a certain time.

What does the law say about this? Photo No. 1

Unfortunately, not everyone who lives in multi-storey buildings is familiar with the legislation that regulates the order of residence of persons in such residential buildings. Therefore, conflict situations often arise when, out of ignorance, neighbors begin to knock on the radiators, or give other signals to those who make a lot of noise. Or, on the contrary, the victims silently endure the loud noise, thinking that nothing can be done.

In order to prevent such situations from happening, every resident of an apartment building must know their rights and responsibilities regarding their residence, and must also adhere to certain ones and not disturb the silence on weekends.

The following regulations regulate such legal relations.

1. Code of Administrative Offenses (CAO). This is a fundamental regulatory act that establishes the very concept of violation of silence, and also provides for liability for this in the form of penalties and confiscation of equipment or equipment that was the source of noise. In addition, this normative act establishes a time threshold from which it is prohibited to make any noise at all;
2. Sanitary standards. They establish sound standards (dBa), according to which noise exceeding a certain barrier is unacceptable, and if it is produced by neighbors, even during the time period when it is permitted by the Code of Administrative Offences, this is considered a violation;
3. Rules for living in apartment buildings, which state that all citizens are obliged to treat their neighbors with respect, as well as, and that illegal behavior (this includes breaking the silence) is prohibited.

It is important to remember that there are situations when significant noise can be produced by faulty utility networks (plumbing, batteries through which hot water flows). In this case, it will not be possible to bring the management or other service company to administrative liability. But you can file a lawsuit against them and recover moral damages.

Carrying out repair work

When can repair work be carried out? Photo No. 2

In practice, renovation work creates the biggest noise problems. To carry them out, various equipment can be used, as well as teams of construction workers who can listen to music and communicate loudly with each other.

Therefore, the legislator has directly provided for standards regulating the procedure in the apartment, as well as the creation of other noise.

The first thing you need to pay attention to is weekdays, that is, working hours. The Code of Administrative Offenses says that you can start making noise from 7 a.m. (in some regions this period of time starts at eight o’clock) and stop such activity at 10 p.m.; in some regions the threshold is lowered to 11 p.m. Repair work can be carried out from nine o'clock in the morning and end at 19.00.

The second point concerns weekends and holidays. That is, when the majority of residents are on vacation. Here the law says that vigorous activity can begin at 8 a.m., and it must end at 10 p.m. However, repair work on holidays and weekends is now prohibited.

However, you need to pay attention to some exceptions. They concern the noise level, which is higher than 40 dBa. It is generally prohibited on any day, regardless of whether it is a weekday or a weekend (holiday).

It is important to remember that only Rospotrebnadzor can confirm the presence of powerful noise (exceeding the threshold of 40 dBa), whose officials must arrive with special equipment and measure the noise. At the same time, based on the results of measurements, a special act is drawn up, which can be submitted not only to law enforcement agencies but also to the court.

Responsibility for violation of the law

How to deal with malicious silence violators in apartment buildings? Photo No. 3

As stated above, the Code of Administrative Offenses provides for liability for breaking silence. The legislator has provided for several types of penalties, which are imposed depending on the severity of the violation.

The first type is financial liability in the form of an imposed fine. Depending on the region, it may change upward or downward, but if the offense is committed for the first time, then it is small. With repeated violations, the amount increases.

The second type is confiscation, which have become a source of noise. This could include construction tools and equipment, speakers and sound production centers, televisions, and musical instruments. Confiscation occurs if the tenant periodically breaks the silence and has been repeatedly brought to administrative responsibility.

Particular attention should be paid to objects that were the source of noise exceeding the established barrier of 40 dBa. They may be immediately confiscated.

Now let's touch on the question of who imposes fines and makes decisions on confiscation. This is the court to which law enforcement officers send the compiled administrative protocol.

It is important to remember that neighbors who have suffered from a lot of noise can also file a lawsuit in court to demand compensation for moral damages from the troubled neighbors. The main evidence will be the judge’s decision to bring the guilty person to administrative responsibility.

Residents of multi-storey buildings should understand that noise should not be made at night when everyone is resting. In addition, it is better not to repair your own on weekends and holidays, since the law does not allow this.

I live in a private house, but I suffer from neighbors no less than others in high-rise buildings. On weekdays they have a hammer drill, and from 19.00 onwards they have a welding machine in addition. The noise is so loud that we can’t talk at home. And on weekends they actively relax until two in the morning, knocking down doors at the end. The article says that you need to call the Rospotrebnadzor service, but during the day their noise, I think, is less than 40 dB, the loudest is in the evening. And in the evening no one will come. I called the police, they were given a fine. two days later the same story. They don’t care about these fines, but I’m already on valerian. I don’t know what else to do.

Answer

1. Find yourself a man, that's what you need to do. To fuck you until you lose your pulse, then you will sleep in such a way that the neighbors will not disturb you. Of course, you can also find a job, but it’s better than a man.

   Answer

This topic will be relevant at all times. It’s just that sometimes it’s very difficult to prove all these noises if you act legally and try to influence your neighbors with the law and the authorities. But still, we are all Homo Sapiens and simply must be able to negotiate with each other and meet each other halfway.

Answer

I also always don’t understand why you can’t do noisy things on weekdays, but on weekends you can relax yourself and let your neighbors relax. Of course, there are urgent matters, but mostly people plan everything for the weekend. I don’t see the point in swearing, I endure it in silence.

Answer

Nonsense. What specific law says about 10 a.m. on weekends? Give me the law number and article!
Thoughtless and illiterate copy-paste

Answer

This is some kind of nonsense. There are contradictions in the article. Where should 40 dB always be maintained? What about repair and construction work on time? 40 dB is human speech. Loud music, repairs, a car under the windows - here it rises above 100 dB. It is advisable to write articles on legislation with references to legislation and write the date of the article (laws change and are supplemented). A horde of inventors.

Answer

Residents of apartment buildings are often forced to put up with poor sound insulation. Neighbors may be disturbed by loud music, parties, conversations, scandals, knocking and other unpleasant sounds. Apartment owners, whose neighbors are preventing them from living a normal life, try to resolve the conflict on their own, starting numerous scandals with their offenders, not knowing that there is a noise law in Russia, according to which time limits are established when loud sounds can be heard from their own apartment .

What does the noise law say?

Not all homeowners in multi-storey buildings know how much noise can be made in an apartment. The Noise Law (Federal Law No. 52), adopted back in 2016, specifies a time frame during which residents do not have the right to make loud noises so as not to disturb the peace of their neighbors.

How long can you make noise in an apartment?

You can make noise in the apartment during feasts, talk loudly, shout, or play music from 07:00 to 23:00 on weekdays.

In addition, you should refrain from high decibels during the standard quiet hour for minors and pensioners from 13:00 to 15:00.

Breaking the Silence

Noise in the apartment - until what hour is it permissible to carry out repair work?

A hammer drill, grinder or drill produces much louder sounds than household noise, and they also transmit vibration through the supporting structures of the building. Such activity is possible only from 09:00 to 19:00 with a break for a quiet hour.

On weekends and public holidays, repair work cannot be carried out at all, and the usual noise emanating from the activities of citizens is limited from 10:00 to 22:00, since at this time most people are resting and need silence.

If a house is being rented out for the first time, and new apartment owners are actively renovating each residential premises, then the ban begins 18 months after the property is put into operation.

Apartment renovation

Important! In addition to the generally accepted federal law, which is in force throughout Russia, local government bodies that control life support in the regions, due to various internal political, social, ethnic, religious or other characteristics, can establish their own amendments to the code, according to which the silence schedule may shift slightly .

What to do if your neighbors are making loud noise

If neighbors interfere with a comfortable stay, and the noise ban period has long passed, neighbors have the right to take decisive steps. To pacify noisy residents of an apartment building, you can:

• Contact your neighbors personally and try to resolve the conflict situation peacefully. Try to agree verbally, present the text of the law on silence, since people may simply not know it, and also warn about further radical actions.
• If negotiations do not produce the desired result, citizens should unite with other dissatisfied residents and act together by organizing an initiative group and identifying the most qualified representative to resolve such issues.
• Next, the residents make a free-form complaint to the management company or the HOA of the building, demanding help in calming down the neighbors. Representatives of the building manager do not have broad powers, but they can hold an educational conversation with violators, call them to order, and also hang banners with displays of the law on silence.
• If such measures do not bring results, residents have the right to go to the nearest internal affairs department and write a statement about disturbing the silence, indicating all the details of the violent neighbors. The police are required to accept the paper for consideration, the district police officer will visit the tenants, warn them about inappropriate behavior, and also threaten them with more drastic methods of influence in the event of further violations.
• If the district police officer’s warning does not produce results, then the initiative group has the right to file a collective complaint to the Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation. This department is called upon to monitor the implementation of laws, and therefore is obliged to verify the legality of the actions or inactions of police officers.
• The last resort is a lawsuit. The responsible representative of the government authority will review the paper with the attached statements and complaints, and, having identified malicious violations of the rights of citizens, will set a date for the court hearing. Violators will be fined by court decision. If the incident repeats, more stringent measures will be taken.

Noisy feast

Important! When going to court, you need a previously collected evidence base. These could be recordings from surveillance cameras, transcriptions of audio recordings of unsuccessful negotiations, written refusals to consider applications and other nuances that indicate that going to court for residents was a last resort, while a violation of the law actually occurs.

Is it possible to report tenants anonymously?

Procedural actions on the part of the authorities are recorded in a corresponding report, which is a form of reporting. This document requires certain nuances when creating it. First of all, all personal data of the troublemaker and the data of persons trying to stop these actions must be indicated.

It is impossible to write a complaint, petition or statement without indicating the applicant’s passport details. Such a document will not be accepted for consideration either by the Department of Internal Affairs or by the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation, and if it is sent by mail or in the form of an electronic request, then authorized persons will destroy it without reading it.

Disgruntled neighbors

Consequently, an anonymous appeal to representatives of government authorities is impossible under any pretext. For persons who fear for their lives, the codes of the Russian Federation stipulate special conditions to ensure their protection.

What types of penalties are provided for night noise?

In accordance with the resolution on administrative offenses of the Federal Law No. 52, as well as Articles 3.13, 6.3, 6.4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the following types of material penalties are provided for from citizens and legal entities responsible for this unlawful act:

• If the violation is the first and its nature depended on household sources of noise: loud screams, music, dancing, etc., then the perpetrator will be given a financial penalty in the amount of 1,000 to 2,000 rubles*. depending on the decision of the responsible person imposing the punishment.
• If the same conditions were violated by representatives of a legal entity, the fine will increase significantly from 40 to 80 thousand rubles*, depending on the duration of the impact, the speed of response to complaints and warnings to neighbors, the repetition of the act and other factors.
• When such noise is made by officials on duty, they are fined in the amount of 4,000 to 8,000 rubles.*
• If the violator caused noise, resulting in a violation of the comfort of citizens, or this act concerned the carrying out of repair and finishing work at a time not permitted by law, the punishment will be from 100 rubles. up to 1000 rubles* for individuals.
• The same violations detected against an official of the enterprise will entail a fine of 500-2000 rubles*
• When this act is carried out by representatives of organizations working under certain contract agreements or for the provision of any other services, then a fine of 10-20 thousand rubles. the case may not end, and this LLC or individual entrepreneur will be deprived of the right to engage in such commercial activities for a period of up to 90 days from the date of the decision.

District police officer's visit to violators

Important! As legal practice in Russia shows, this type of illegal act is considered a violation of minor or moderate gravity. This means that, despite the penalties prescribed in the Code of Administrative Offences, law enforcement agencies are limited to warning the violator.

Maximum noise level in apartment buildings

Sanitary standards adopted for citizens to maintain the safety of their health, as well as to ensure their comfortable living in their own apartments, establish a physical noise limit that is permissible regardless of the time of day:

• During the daytime from 7:00 to 23:00, citizens have the right to make noise in the range from 40.0 dB to 55.0 dB without consequences.
• During the prohibited time for loud sounds from 23:00 to 7:00, as well as during quiet hours from 13:00 to 15:00, the maximum sound exposure level is reduced to 30.0-45.0 dB. Exceeding these standards entails a violation of the law on silence, since its text refers to articles of SanPinov, which indicate what noise impacts cannot be exerted on citizens.

In order for citizens to have an idea of ​​what kind of noise level this is and how many decibels constitute household exposure, they can compare these indicators with those given below:

• Loud screams, crying children, the operation of a powerful hair dryer, vacuum cleaner or other household appliances can have an acoustic impact of up to 80.0-90.0 dB.
• If finishing work is being carried out in the house, walls are being dismantled, or workers simply knock loudly with a hammer, use a hammer drill, or drill with a drill, such impacts can produce noise up to 100.0-130.0 dB.
• Loud music played on a music system with speakers or a TV with home theater function - up to 100.0 dB.
• Normal conversations, without a sharp rise in voice, do not exceed 40.0 dB.
• If residents communicate in a whisper, the exposure level drops to 10.0 dB.

Police report against neighbors

Important! Dissatisfied neighbors can always provide themselves with an evidence base by purchasing a noise measuring device in a store, or call a specialized laboratory that will write a professional report, taking appropriate measurements at different times of the day, in the morning, afternoon, evening or night, while being in their own living space applicants.

Trial

When carrying out repair work, in addition to standard noise exposure, citizens may be subjected to uncomfortable acoustic and structural noise transmitted through monolithic reinforced concrete load-bearing structures. The sound of an ordinary falling pan on a tiled floor can produce a short-term noise effect of up to 120.0 dB, which will be heard in almost all apartments at the entrance.

To sum up, we should warn all persons who try to punish their offenders using their own methods for non-compliance with the rules of silence. Writing rude messages at the entrances, damaging the personal property of citizens: entrance doors, keyholes, internal utilities, personal vehicles, can bring a certain kind of punishment on the neighbors themselves. Citizens may fall under such articles as petty hooliganism, vandalism, and if their actions caused damage to the health of the violators, then the case may even be considered from the point of view of a criminal offense.

The problem of loud neighbors is relevant for all regions of the Russian Federation. Parties to a conflict rarely manage to reach an agreement and resolve the situation peacefully. Knowledge of the law on silence allows a citizen to punish the violator to the fullest extent.

For the peace of mind of citizens living in an apartment building, the legislation of the Russian Federation adopted the Law on Silence. Based on Federal Law-52, citizens can defend their own rights if they believe that they are being violated.

Types of silence violations for which you can be fined:

• loud conversations and shouting;
• use of explosives;
• carrying out repair work at inappropriate times;
• using a sound amplifier when listening to music or watching a movie that exceeds the permissible sound standards in decibels;
• intentional use of a car alarm;
• using noisy household appliances - vacuum cleaner, electric meat grinder, etc.;
• barking of animals provoked by the owners.

For exceeding permissible sound standards in decibels, a fine may be imposed regardless of the time of day.

The noise level must not exceed that permitted by law:

• from 7.00 to 23.00 - up to 40 decibels;
• from 23.00 to 7.00 - up to 30 decibels.

An example of how to understand the noise level in decibels: a machine alarm near a residential building makes sounds at 80-100 dB.

All citizens have the right to rest equally, just like the right to noisy leisure time at home. Therefore, all neighbors in an apartment building, without exception, need to know how much noise can be made in an apartment according to the law of the Russian Federation, so that in the future they will not have problems either with each other or with the law.

Russian legislation protects the civil right to peace and quiet, in particular at night, in the evening, as well as during the morning, both on weekdays and on weekends, as well as on public holidays. Direct sources of noise by law may include:

At the same time, the listed sources of noise are recognized as violating legal norms only if they cause inconvenience to neighbors, that is, citizens who are in their apartment, and their peace is disturbed through noisy actions.

Working day

Regardless of what the source of noise is, it is important to know from what time in the morning certain activities can be carried out and after what time in the evening you cannot make noise on weekdays, as well as on weekends. In addition, there is a norm of maximum permissible noise level, which should also be adhered to. Such knowledge is needed not only by neighbors, whose right to rest is regularly violated, but also by residents who themselves do not want to cause inconvenience, for example, by planned repairs, listening to music, or playing musical instruments. If you do all this during a period of time when noise is allowed, on weekdays or weekends, problems with the state will not arise even if a complaint is received from neighbors.

On a normal working day the following rules apply:

• It is allowed to make noise from 7 am to 11 pm, in some regions of Russia this time period is shifted by an hour, that is, you can make noise from 8 am to 10 pm;
• Construction and repair work on weekdays can be carried out from 9 am to 7 or 8 pm, also depending on the region of location.

In case of violation of this order and, for example, carrying out repair work in the evening at nine o’clock or later, the violator faces administrative liability in the form of a fine.

Weekend rules

On weekends, especially on Sundays, there are usually more noise complaints than on weekdays, since most citizens are relaxing at home at this time. According to the law, on weekends neighbors can make noise in the same way, from seven in the morning to eleven at night, with some changes depending on the region. The exception is construction work related to repairs on weekends.

Previously, there were rules that did not distinguish between a working day and a weekend, that is, you could start drilling walls and hammering on Saturday and Sunday from nine in the morning to seven in the evening.

But, according to recent changes in legislation, any noisy repair work in an apartment building on weekends is prohibited at all. On holidays, a similar ban applies.

If this rule is violated, a warning will be issued with a requirement to stop the actions causing noise, otherwise you will have to pay a fine.

Although this amendment may not be very convenient for those who have no time for repairs other than after work or on the weekend, breaking the law will be equally fraught with danger for everyone. In exceptional cases, you can try to negotiate with your neighbors, but in this case it is better to have their written consent to carry out work on weekends.

Legitimate noise

There is also such a thing as noise, for which administrative penalties are not imposed. These include sources whose actions are not usually regarded as a violation of order:

Also, the commission of offenses and criminal offenses is not considered as a violation of peace and quiet, since these actions are regarded under completely different articles.

But any citizens who have reached the age of sixteen, officials, for example, in establishments that are located close to a residential building, as well as legal entities, most often construction companies, that do not comply with the rules established by law can be held accountable for disturbing the peace in the evening on weekdays or weekends. time frame for work.

How to be

In the case of regular or especially malicious violations of peace and order, when conversations and requests do not work, neighbors have the right to report the violator to bring him to administrative responsibility. This is done by a standard appeal to the local police officer or by calling the police. To do this, it is desirable that upon their arrival the noise should still continue, there must be evidence of the violation, for example, video filming or recording on a voice recorder. You can, for example, involve other neighbors who were also disturbed by noise. In this case, it does not matter whether it lasts after the arrival of the local police officer or not.

Noisy neighbors, a construction machine working under the window, a howling dog on the floor above, screaming children - this is exactly what can make living in an apartment building unbearable. If during the day most people work and do not pay attention to the increased decibels, then in the morning and evening a person has a legitimate question - until what time can neighbors do repairs or argue loudly?

General points

There is no single law that would apply throughout Russia and regulate the activity of citizens. Almost every region has its own by-laws that establish the very concept of permissible time during which the peace of citizens can be disturbed.

General law valid throughout the Russian Federation - No. 52-FZ“On the sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population” establishes a fairly long period of time allowing noise - from 7:00 to 23:00. Moreover, he does not answer the question whether it is possible to drill and sing loudly at this time only on weekdays or on weekends too.

What do you need to know?

Regions, as a rule, decide for themselves how much time to allocate to citizens in order to legally carry out noisy repairs - dismantling partitions, drilling walls, changing risers.

As a rule, the law also establishes the time during which household noise is permissible. Children's squealing, running around, rumbling music, learning scales and the unbearable howling of dogs, like the use of a drill, cannot be around the clock.

Who sets the standards?

Rospotrebnadzor sets noise standards, Federal Law and local deputies.

For example, according to Federal Law No. 52, the noise level at different times should not exceed:

• from 11 pm to 7 am – 30 dB;
• from 7 am to 11 pm – 40 dB.

These standards should be relied upon if there is no regional legislation.

Legal grounds

What laws exist – both national and regional?

RF – No. 52-FZ “On the sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population” is the basic law, local deputies rely on it, the boundaries of this law, as a rule, are not violated.

In your region, you need to rely on local legislation - for example, in St. Petersburg, regional Law No. 273-70 “On Administrative Offenses in St. Petersburg”, in Moscow – Law No. 42 “On maintaining the peace and quiet of citizens in the city of Moscow” ”, other regions may have their own rules.

From what time and until what hours can you make noise in an apartment according to the law of the Russian Federation in 2018?

If a particular region does not have its own law regulating noise, it is worth relying on No. 52-FZ “On the Sanitary and Epidemiological Welfare of the Population” and not allowing neighbors to make noise at least from 11 pm to 7 am.

In some regions this time is reduced - for example, in the Krasnodar Territory, repairs can begin at 10 am and must be completed by 7 pm.

When is noise allowed on weekdays?

Regardless of the region, disturbing the peace of citizens on weekdays is strictly prohibited from 23:00 to 07:00. At night, you should not only carry out repair work, but also listen to loud music, stomp and dance, allow children to jump off the sofa and stomp, or move heavy furniture.

In some urban areas, the Criminal Code additionally asks citizens not to use washing machines at this time, since during the spin cycle the noise and vibration can be heard several floors up and down.

Important! It is strictly forbidden to dismantle partitions, use a drill and play the piano very loudly on weekdays from 09:00 to 19:00 - in almost all regions of Russia there are by-laws that state this.

In different regions of Russia, the time at which you can drill into walls or play the guitar without fear of the anger of your neighbors is different.

In St. Petersburg, for example, there is a special “Law on Silence” - regional Law No. 273-70 “On Administrative Offenses in St. Petersburg”. You can make noise in the northern capital on weekdays in the apartment building strictly from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Moscow has its own by-laws. In January 2016, some amendments were made to Law No. 42, which had existed since 2002, “On maintaining the peace of citizens and silence in the city of Moscow.”

On weekdays, noise above 30 dB is acceptable from 7:00 am to 11 pm. But there are some restrictions regarding repair work - time is allocated for them from 9:00 to 19:00. But even at this time you cannot drill continuously - you need to take a break from 13:00 to 15:00, since this time is allocated for the rest of small children and the elderly.

All this applies only to noisy repair work, and only on the territory of Moscow, in the apartment building. What laws apply in other regions?

Important! An exception to the law is anything related to accidents and natural disasters. Work to eliminate them can be carried out around the clock.

Noisy processions on holidays, shouts and songs on New Year's Eve are also absolutely legal.

When is it officially forbidden to make noise at home on weekends?

In almost all regions, it is strictly prohibited to carry out any construction work on weekends and holidays - that is, dismantling partitions, sawing boards and drilling walls is prohibited.

But you can safely listen to music during the day, play the guitar, sing, and also allow children to jump and play - no laws prohibit this.

Important! On weekdays, noisy events can be held, as a rule, from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., but on weekends and holidays, mostly regions allow this from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. In some regions, morning hours are extended. In St. Petersburg, for example, citizens can rest peacefully on Saturday and Sunday until noon.

In summer time

As a rule, in regions, with rare exceptions, there are no special rules that apply only to summer or winter time.

One of the exceptions is the Samara region - in summer you can make noise there until 11 pm, and in winter only until 10.
