Noise Ordinances
City of Hemet- Noise Ordinances
State of California - Noise Protection
Excerpt from Stimmel's Law Website:
Tenants’ Rights: A tenant’s right to quiet and peaceful enjoyment of his property is generally limited to what are called reasonable limits, and local government ordinances also regulate nuisance rights. Usually, if a tenant is making excessive noise beyond what is “normally acceptable” under the Noise Guidelines, then he or she likely violates the city’s nuisance ordinance. (As an example, in Glendora, a tenant’s noise level is restricted by the time of day. From 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., a tenant cannot make noise exceeding 50 decibels, and any noise more than 50 decibels is considered a nuisance.) Other cities and counties have similar ordinances for the most part and should be available on line.
Penal Code: Under the guidelines of Section 415 of the California Penal Code, it is illegal for any resident to knowingly create loud and unreasonable noises as a means of disturbing another. Those convicted of violating this law face a maximum of 90 days in jail and/or a maximum fine of $400.00. Unnecessary noise can be a violation at any time.
