A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the regulation of sound devices or apparatus

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. It is hereby declared that the use and operation of sound amplification devices and apparatus in proximity to residential buildings disturb the peace, quiet and comfort of the inhabitants of those buildings. Further regulation of sound amplification devices and apparatus used and operated in proximity to residential buildings is necessary to ensure that residents may enjoy the normal activities associated with the morning and evening hours affected by this legislation, such as the quiet enjoyment of one's home. It is the intention of the Council to protect the health, well-being, privacy and comfort of the inhabitants of residential buildings by limiting the unwelcome noise caused by the use and operation of sound amplification devices and apparatus when their use and operation occurs within fifty feet of such buildings. Nevertheless, the police commissioner would be authorized to issue permits for the use and operation of sound amplification devices and apparatus within fifty feet of residential buildings for at least eleven hours per day on weekdays and at least ten hours per day on weekends and public holidays.
