How many hours you can not make noise in the apartment law. How long can you drill and carry out repairs - rules for different cities

  • 19.10.2019

Residents of megacities often face a problem when neighbors neglect generally accepted rules, disturbing them with noisy gatherings or repair work. In order to protect its citizens, Russian legislation adopted federal law No. 52-F3. But each individual subject Russian Federation have one more normative document, which corresponds to the conditions of life in a particular region. So in the capital, the law on silence in Moscow has been in force since January 1, 2018.

The current federal law No. 52-F3 “On the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population”, adopted on March 30, 1999, states that the living conditions of Russians are regulated by GOSTs and sanitary standards. But a direct indication of the degree of noise pollution and the time frame were not initially indicated in it.

In the current SanPiN 2.1.2.2645-10, only day and night intervals are prescribed: 7-23 hours, and, accordingly, 23-7 in the morning. Therefore, in additions from 2018, adjustments are prescribed that limit the period of permitted noise.

The latest version of the law prescribes when you can not be in an apartment in 2018. This is the interval from 21:00 to 08:00 on weekdays. It should be taken into account that the time frame in the regulations different regions may differ somewhat. For example: for St. Petersburg it is from 22:00 to 8 in the morning, in Krasnoyarsk - from 22:00 to 9:00, in the Nizhny Novgorod region. from 22:00 to 7:00.

The most common sources of noise during “quiet hours” are: ongoing repairs and Finishing work, loudly broadcasting radio and television devices, working electrical appliances, classes on musical instruments, loud singing and loud whistling, loud sounds made by animals, the use of pyrotechnics.

A normal level is considered to be no more than 40 dBA during the day and 30 dBA at night. According to the norms, the maximum possible noise levels in apartments:

  • for light time - 55 dBA;
  • for the night period - 45 dBA.

In the daytime, inside residential premises, the standards allow exceeding the maximum noise level within 5 dB, in the areas adjacent to the building - up to 10 dB. For clarity, we indicate that this indicator when driving a car is 55 dBA, children's crying can reach 78 dBA, and an adult's cry - 90 dBA. If we consider the sounds of the included construction tools, then the perforator creates a level of about 95 dBA, and the striker of the percussion principle of operation - 120 dBA.

How to deal with noisy neighbors

Violation of silence is an encroachment on the tranquility protected by the norms and a strict violation sanitary norms assets, the control over which is carried out by Rospotrebnadzor. Employees of the executive authority have at their disposal instruments - sound level meters that measure the pressure of a sound wave and record this indicator in order to identify the fact of a violation.

If neighbors are annoying, it is enough just to apply with a written application to one of the branches of the federal body. It is better if it is a collective complaint from several apartment owners. Employees will take measurements, conduct an examination and draw up a protocol on an administrative violation. The act drawn up by the experts will act as indisputable evidence when applying to the court.

Acts can be drawn up by police officers. The only thing is that they do not have equipment that fixes the noise level. Law enforcement officers draw up a protocol and hand it over to the inspector. He, in turn, conducts an explanatory conversation with violators. If it does not take action, it imposes a fine.

It is a pity that this law does not save if the windows are located towards the roadway. Uninterrupted public transport is more paramount than the peace of the Russians. The law also does not apply to the need for rescue and emergency measures.

The same norm also includes the holding of official sporting events, religious ceremonies and cultural festivals. Among them are the events planned to be held in the near future in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Therefore, you should not expect that contacting the appropriate services will bring the expected result. The only way out of the situation is the arrangement of internal sound insulation or moving to a quieter area.

Silence in the capital

The night peace of the capital today is protected by law No. 42 “On maintaining the peace of citizens and silence at night in Moscow”, adopted on July 12, 2012, but for greater comfort of citizens both on weekdays and on weekends, adopted with On January 1, 2018, the bill introduced a number of amendments:

  1. A "quiet hour" has been introduced - on weekdays, the period from 13-15 pm and 19-9 am. The same restrictions apply holidays, except on January 1, and weekends. It follows from this that, according to the current law of 2018, repairs in an apartment can be done in weekdays in two time intervals: 9-13 days and 15-19 pm.
  2. A significant increase in fines for both ordinary citizens and legal entities as well as commercial and government organizations. On the territory of Moscow, the amount of penalties is: 1-2 thousand rubles. for individuals and 40-80 thousand rubles. for legal.
  3. The ability to solve problems with violators through the involvement of police officers, Moszhilinspektsiya and Rospotrebnadzor.

To read the full text of the document, you can.

This means that according to the law of the Russian Federation in Moscow 2018, it is possible to make noise both in the apartment itself and near the residential building until 19 pm and after 9 am. This requirement also applies to: intra-house entrances, sports and playgrounds located on the territory of a residential complex. The ban includes premises and adjacent open areas of rehabilitation, educational, medical centers, horticultural associations, as well as organizations that provide temporary stay for Russians.

How much noise can you make in an apartment? Until what time can neighbors do repairs in the evenings? In addition to these two issues, the law on silence covers some more aspects that regulate construction and repair work.

Renovating an apartment is a troublesome, noisy business. Sometimes, the planned wallpapering turns into a change of skirting boards, windows and doors.

As a result, instead of a week, the repair of an apartment stretches for at least six months. Therefore, the question "allowed time for repairs in apartments" is popular. After all, when you renovate an apartment, you interfere with your neighbors. It is hard to live under the noise of a drill and the sound of a hammer.

I studied the laws to find out at what time it is possible to repair an apartment. There is no single law for the cities of the Russian Federation, which specifies noise standards, and there is no allowed time for apartment repairs. In some federal laws, items that contradict each other are even indicated.

If you follow the sequence of work when repairing an apartment, then there will be much less noise. Local regulations regulate this issue for each individual subject of the federation.

From what time and until what time can you make repairs in the apartment

According to the law "On Ensuring Peace and Quiet of Citizens on the Territory of the Moscow Region", repair work can be carried out:

  • On weekdays (from Monday to Friday inclusive) from 8.00 to 21.00;
  • On weekends (Saturday, Sunday) and non-working holidays established by federal law from 10.00 to 22.00;
  • Break for work from 13.00 to 15.00, regardless of the day of the week;
  • Using tools and equipment with a noise threshold within the normal range;
  • Respecting the order of public places.

Can repairs be done on weekends?

Of course you can! As already mentioned, in accordance with federal law, silence can be broken from 10.00 to 22.00.

If the work lasts more than 6 hours, take an hour off. The total duration of work should not exceed 3 months. If you violate the deadlines, you can be held administratively liable in case of complaints from neighbors.

To special equipment, tools and devices that are used in the process of repair and construction works, requirements apply:

  1. security
  2. efficiency
  3. saving labor costs
  4. portability
  5. light weight.

You can not block passages, stairs, elevators. Do not block occupant escape routes in an emergency. Do not cause damage to adjacent rooms. Pack your building materials properly - place trash in bags or bags.

Unpackaged construction waste is strictly forbidden to be transported in passenger elevators. It is recommended to take the written permission of the neighbors to conduct repair work.

No. 16/2014-OZ

Adopted by resolution

Moscow Regional Duma

dated 20.02.2014 No. 9/79-P

Permissible noise levels in the apartment and penalties for exceeding them

According to sanitary and epidemic standards, tools and devices that exceed the level of vibration and noise of 40 dBA during operation are prohibited. Do not interfere in someone else's territory when you are renovating a home.

The noise level from 07:00 to 23:00 should not exceed 40 dB, and from 23:00 to 07:00 - 30 dB.

To avoid conflicts, put yourself in the place of your neighbors. “My home is my castle” is the exact expression. Everyone wants to feel comfortable, cozy and calm in the apartment. And if he sleeps behind your wall Small child, or elderly people live, or even a young person sleeps after a night shift.

Respect your neighbors. It is worth noting that the question “at what time can repairs be carried out in the apartment?” Regarding the seasonal aspect, is not covered in any legislative act.

Neighbors break the law of silence. What to do and where to go?


The law prohibits disturbing peace and quiet. Noisy repair and construction work of other citizens at night is prohibited. According to this Law on Silence, night time is considered to be the time from 21.00 at night to 8.00 in the morning. Residents outside the Moscow region, consult a lawyer on this issue.

The question of whether it is possible to make noise on weekends is not decided by the law in favor of those who are young and active.

The metropolis is a large hostel in which there is no place for liberties.

A multi-story anthill must obey the rules of the hostel, and the reasoning that my apartment is my fortress, a place where you are allowed to do what you want, alas, is nothing more than fantasy.

In contact with

What is Silent Mode

Silence is a law that came into force on 01.01. 2016. Until that time, the peace of citizens was protected by the sanitary standards stated in federal law“On the sanitary and epidemiological situation of the population”, adopted in 1999, and the regulation of 2002, which regulated the rules of conduct and compliance with the permissible noise level.

But it was from 2016 that the norms of the regime and the responsibility for their violation came into force. You can not make noise not only in apartments, but also in the adjacent territories, as well as:

  • in medical and preventive institutions;
  • kindergartens and schools;
  • public places;
  • horticultural plots, holiday villages.

It is important to know: wherever citizens live and rest, study, receive medical treatment, etc., it is required to comply with the law on silence.

In many ways, these measures were caused by the dissatisfaction of the residents with the repair work being carried out, the noise from construction tools.

Noise in the apartment


Now, according to the norms of SanPin, the concept of time is interpreted in a new way. The concept of "night time" is excluded, the following is added:

  • daytime from 7 am to 11 pm;
  • night from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.;
  • morning from 6 to 10 o'clock.

The noise level requirement applies to weekend mornings and public holidays.

Separate norms have been established in Moscow and the Moscow Region. Night from 21 to 8 hours on weekdays, on weekends from 22 to 10 hours. And you can’t make noise on Sunday and a public holiday from 13 to 15 hours.

Permissible noise level in the apartment


The law very clearly sets the norm at 50 decibels during the day and 30 at night. Breaking the law means risking money - now non-compliance with the silence regime is an administrative responsibility and involves the payment of a fine.

Do not make loud noises, as well as:

  • play musical instruments;
  • listen to a loudly turned on radio or TV;
  • use construction equipment, repair;
  • use household appliances that make loud noises.

How to determine the volume? Do not walk around with a tester that fixes the volume in your hands. You need to understand that:

  • to speak in a whisper means to create a noise of 30dBA;
  • speak loudly - 40dBA;
  • baby crying - 70 dBA;
  • scream - 90 dBA;
  • a working vacuum cleaner creates a noise of 75dBA;
  • perforator - 90 dBA.

Note: Neighbors are especially quick to respond to the noise of repair work. The maximum allowable noise violation during the day by 5 decibels is allowed, but no more.

In close proximity to railways and highways, the excess is permissible by 10 dB. But this does not mean that you can increase the roar produced by the composition with your scream or other noise.

What to do if your neighbors complain about you

The soundproofing of our apartments leaves much to be desired. The booming sound of footsteps, the running of children, loud laughter, unfortunately, irritates the neighbors, is regarded as an infringement on their rights, on their peace.

What to do if neighbors complain about you? First of all, don't be offended. Neighbors are not chosen, it is our duty to respect them. Do this:

  1. Get to know your neighbors, make friends with them;
  2. Take all measures to reduce noise, lay carpets, buy good soft slippers;
  3. Limit the playfulness of children, classes in the sports section will benefit in every sense;
  4. Make additional soundproofing in the apartment. Modern soundproofing materials will help.

Today, soundproof pads are used between the base and the laminate, fibrous substances with a high sound absorption coefficient are laid, and a substrate made of polyethylene foam, polystyrene foam, and cork material is used. There are effective technologies for laying a floating floor that does not come into contact with the base, therefore, does not transmit sound vibrations.

Soundproofing of the ceiling and walls is carried out using:

  • fiberglass;
  • silica fiber;
  • vibroacoustic sealant.

Various technologies are used to guarantee peace and quiet in the house. And this is not all the possibilities of the modern construction market.

Take note: such works in the complex will cost from 250 rubles per 1m² to 250€ for the same volume. Expensive, you say, but how much is your health and peace of household?

Acquaintance with neighbors is also useful from the point of view of using common property, which is the entire space of the house with the exception of apartments, and from a criminal point of view, neighbors will help to look after the children, the apartment at the time of your absence.

How to complain about loud neighbors


The law states that the violation of the peace and quiet of the population is a gross violation of sanitary standards, the control over compliance with which is in charge.

It is their duty to measure noise, to determine how much the permissible level is exceeded. Does your neighbor carry out repairs with violations of the silence regime? The inspector will record noise indicators and issue a protocol on an administrative offense.

But if the neighbors run amok at night, what to do? Call the police. It is important to fix the very fact of the violation, file it.

Violation of the silence regime at night is classified as an encroachment on personal life citizens as a violation of public order. In this case, it is not necessary to fix the noise level. The district police officer accepts an application from you, draws it up properly and gives it a go.

The procedure and rules for carrying out repairs according to the law


But still, the neighbors need to agree! Especially if a repair is coming, which takes time, sometimes turns into unplanned work, additional deadlines.

By law, it is not forbidden to carry out repair work in the apartment. On weekdays, it is allowed to engage in construction work from 8 to 18 hours, with a break from 13 to 15 - this is a must!

Weekends and holidays require silence from 10 pm to 10 am. When carrying out work over 6 hours, it is important to leave an hour for silence.

It will be correct to obtain the written consent of the neighbors, this guarantees their understanding and patience. No need to annoy the neighbors - plan a phased work.

General rules for noise work


Silence is not difficult to maintain. Compliance required simple rules:

  • not to carry out noise work related to the reconstruction of apartments on public holidays;
  • maintain silence at night;
  • when carrying out repair and construction work on weekdays, take a break.

That's all the rules. Noise work includes those in which power tools, a hammer, an ax, etc. are used.

For parties, choose a time when it will not disturb the neighbors

How to host a noisy weekend event at home

The same rules should be followed if you need to hold a noisy event on Saturday or Sunday at home. Use the time to have fun when the neighbors can't complain about the noise.


We all want peace, tranquility and understanding on the part of neighbors in an apartment building, but neighbors do not always treat us with understanding. Noise in a neighbor's apartment, friendly gatherings, endless repairs in new buildings, loud music, quarrels and fights - all this, of course, causes great inconvenience for the life of normal, calm citizens.

AT major cities, not to mention densely populated Moscow, the problem of maintaining silence is even more acute. The reason for this is the more intense rhythm of the inhabitants of the metropolis, and the high population density, and the presence of many large apartment buildings and residential complexes.

Moreover, every year the problem of observing the rules of peace and quiet of citizens is becoming more acute. So from the very first days of 2019, more than a hundred complaints from Muscovites about their restless neighbors and street noise have already been registered in the city of Moscow. Compared to last year, the number of applications increased by 20% over the same period.

So how can one fight with neighbors and why operate in negotiations with them? What laws will regulate this issue in the city of Moscow in 2019? Where to turn in case of violations and misunderstanding of the neighbors, do not make noise and keep silence in the house? You can find answers to these questions in this article.

What kind of noise regulates the law of silence

In order to be able to legally regulate the behavior of residents of apartment buildings in the city of Moscow, Law No. 42 “On the observance of the peace of citizens and the norms of silence in the city of Moscow” was adopted. There are no plans to significantly change the law in 2019, including due to the fact that this law has a good law enforcement practice and it works effectively. The law is based on GOST norms that regulate the permissible level of various noise sources, as well as sanitary rules applicable to various types activities.

It is with the help of GOSTs in residential premises that the maximum permissible noise level is regulated:

  • During the day, the noise level should not exceed 55 decibels.
  • At night, you can not make noise above 45 decibels.

You can independently determine the noise level using a device for determining its level (sound meter), which are sold in stores and via the Internet and cost from 2000 rubles. However, it is not at all necessary for citizens to determine the noise level on their own. You can also complain under the assumption that the noise source goes beyond the maximum allowable standards.

It is advisable to independently determine the noise level of one’s activities, for example, during long-term repairs in an apartment; construction work at a construction site near residential buildings; measuring the level of music in a cafe located on the ground floor of a residential building. It is always better to take care of your own activities and its safety for the surrounding citizens than to wait for complaints from these citizens and the application of sanctions.

So, in the city of Moscow, the first floors of residential buildings are often used for commercial activity, including cafes and shops. Muscovites living above these objects of trade and life sometimes have to not only smell the smells spreading from these establishments in their apartment, but also constantly listen to the noise from their activities. The Law on Silence is aimed, among other things, at regulating the relationship between residents of houses and commercial facilities located in them regarding the latter's compliance with the requirements of peace and quiet of citizens.

The Moscow Silence Law of 2019 specifically defines the list of sounds that are forbidden for residents to make at home at certain times. For example, at night (from 11:00 pm to 7:00 am) move furniture around the apartment, sing songs, perform musical compositions, listen to music loudly, or during quiet time for children (day break) to make repairs and make noise in any way. More about concrete examples silence requirements in the city of Moscow, we will talk a little lower.

What time is it forbidden to make noise according to the law in the city of Moscow

By strict regulation, first of all, the law determines what can and cannot be done at night. For the city of Moscow, the period of time from 23:00 to 07:00 is considered night time. It is strictly forbidden in the capital at night:
  • Play piano, guitar and other instruments.
  • By yourself or in the company of friends, sing songs in full voice.
  • Loudly listen to music in the apartment, watch TV, listen to the radio (loudly - if you hear it behind the wall in your neighbor's apartment).
  • Listen to music loudly in a car, public institution (cafe, restaurant, etc.).
  • Make repairs to the apartment.
  • Move furniture, move noisily around the apartment (for example, run in shoes, drop objects).
  • Use a car horn in a residential area of ​​the city.
All of the above applies not only to residents of apartments, but also to visitors to hotels, hostels, hospitals and other public institutions.

Law on silence and noise from apartment renovation

The law on the silence of the city of Moscow in 2019 strictly regulates the procedure for repair work in apartment buildings. Wherein important point is that if you just bought an apartment and you have a building option (an apartment without repair), and the house is new (it has just been put into operation), then within 1.5 years the law on silence has not been written for you, and it is not for you spreads. And this is understandable - the construction option must be turned into comfortable housing, and there is no way to do without the noise of a perforator in the apartment.

But if the house is already more than a year and a half old, and you decide to make repairs in it, then in accordance with the Moscow law on silence, in 2019 you will not be able to do repairs:

  • On regular days from 19:00 to 09:00 and during quiet hours for children during the day from 13:00 to 15:00. Agree, it turns out a very limited schedule for repairing an apartment, and you will basically have a hammer drill in charging mode.
  • Weekends or public holidays. No repair, construction work of apartments these days!

How to fix the violation of silence and where to go to complain?

Where specifically to complain about violators of silence in the city of Moscow depends on who disturbs your peace. The violator can be either a citizen from a neighboring apartment, or commercial organization under the windows of the house. In any case, the violator will face a fine.
If a commercial organization makes noise

It can be a restaurant, manufacturing, retail facility, etc. In this case, write a complaint to Rospotrebnadzor for the city of Moscow. In case of an unsatisfactory response to your complaint from Rospotrebnadzor, contact the prosecutor's office or court and seek silence from the noise source or stop its activity if it cannot function in silent mode.

And you can fight not only with a small stall or a noisy grocery store that works at night. You can call for silence construction organization, erecting apartment house; and a factory roaring with its production capacity; and any other large type of business. The law applies to everyone without exception!

If you doubt your ability to fight on your own with an authoritative but noisy disturber of your peace, a lawyer can come to your aid who will collect evidence, conduct the necessary technical expertise, file relevant complaints, and also, if necessary, conduct a lawsuit against the violator of the law.

If the neighbor in the apartment behind the wall makes noise

Rospotrebnadzor will not be able to help much. In this case, you have two options for the development of events.

The first option is to call the police. Here we must assume that the noise from the neighbor is long and it will not become quieter before the arrival of the police. If this happens, the police officer will record the fact of violation of the law by the neighbor and draw up a report on this, on the basis of which the neighbor will be held administratively liable (fine).

The second option: self-fixation of noise from a neighboring apartment. If you see that the noise is short-term, periodically repeating and it is difficult to assume that it will take place at the time of the arrival of a police officer, it makes sense to record this violation of the law yourself.

What can be used for this? Any means of audio-video recording: record a noisy action from a neighbor on a phone, video camera, voice recorder, video recorder, etc. You can enlist the support of neighbors from other apartments, who are also tired of the noisy guest. Now you can safely go to the police or to the district police officer with a statement about the unlawful actions of a citizen to disturb peace and quiet in the city of Moscow. In the application, we indicate who your witnesses are and what evidence there is of the neighbor's ugly disgrace.

What is the responsibility for violating silence

In accordance with Article 3.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation for the offenses in question:
  • Citizens are held liable in the form of a fine in the amount of 1 to 2 thousand rubles.
  • Officials and managers are responsible within 4 - 8 thousand rubles.
  • Organizations and individual entrepreneurs for noise are subject to a fine in the amount of 40 to 80 thousand rubles.
You should also know that if the source of noisy activity is an organization (manufacturing, shop, restaurant, etc.), then it is possible to obtain through the court the suspension of its activities until the violations are eliminated, and if it is impossible to eliminate them, a ban on such activities that violate the rights of citizens .

In addition, if a citizen’s health was affected due to a violation of silence (for example, a neighbor was noisy at a time when an elderly or seriously ill person was behind the wall in the apartment), you have the right to compensate through the court for moral damage from unlawful actions on the part of the offender. In 2019, the courts of the city of Moscow recover moral damages from the defendants in such disputes in the amount of 50 to 100 thousand rubles, and also reimburse all additional expenses for conducting a case in court (costs for an examination, a lawyer, state duty).

The 2019 FIFA World Cup and the Silence Law
Tell me which one football match without noisy fans in the stands and Moscow streets, without loud TVs in the apartments of Muscovites and friendly shouts of “Goal”? It is assumed that for the period of the 2019 FIFA World Cup, the matches of which will be held, including in the city of Moscow, the law on silence will be suspended for the duration of matches in Russian cities.

At the same time, indulgences in the law will not apply to all sources of noise, but to noise associated with sports competitions. It is clear that if, under the auspices of the championship, your neighbor starts working as a puncher in the apartment at night, moving furniture or screaming in a drunken stupor, he cannot avoid administrative responsibility.
