Home Construction Noise

As you have probably noticed, home construction is picking up in our area, e.g., Bay Breeze Point should have two homes under construction soon and East Beach continues to build homes along 30th Bay.
And, as everyone knows first-hand, home construction creates unwanted noise.
An unofficial source has indicated that such noise generation is covered in Norfolk Code which allows noise creating work in residential areas between 7AM and 10PM, 7 days a week (this Norfolk Construction Noise Code information is being verified with Norfolk officials — if this Code check provides different restrictions, the updated information will be posted on this website).
Both Bay Breeze Point and East Beach limit noise creating work by imposing construction hour limits on the builders and subcontractors — Bay Breeze Point limits construction to 7AM to 5PM, Monday through Friday; while East Beach limits construction as follows: no work before 7AM Monday through Friday, and on Saturday, no work before 9AM, and on Sunday, no work that is audible beyond the property line.
However, it should be noted that there may be exceptions to the above Bay Breeze Point and East Beach construction hours, and when they are, notice will be posted, e.g., currently East Beach has a home under construction at the intersection of 30th Bay and Coventry Lane that has recently been identified as the 2011 Coastal Living Ultimate Beach House and this home must be completed by July 2011.
In order to meet the July 2011 deadline, East Beach has authorized the contractor to work 7 days a week.
If you experience excessive construction noise outside of the hours above, you can contact a member of HOA board member and they will address the issue for you.

FYI: Loud music being played by construction workers is not a requirement for construction and any such music should not be heard outside the boundaries of the construction site.
