When the neighbors is forbidden to make noise?

The right to silence in your accommodation is registered in the Federal Law № 52-FZFederal Law of March 30, 1999 N 52-FZ "On the sanitary-epidemiological welfare of population" "On sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population."

In many regions have adopted their own laws, which determine when the neighbors can not with impunity to make noise. for MoscowMoscow City Law of July 12, 2002 № 42 "On the subject of peace and tranquility of citizens in the city of Moscow" Silence hours - from 23:00 to 7:00, for St. PetersburgLaw of St. Petersburg on May 31, 2010 № 273-70 «On Administrative Offenses in St. Petersburg" - from 22:00 to 8:00, for KazanRepublic of Tatarstan Law of January 12, 2010 № 3-PFA "at night about respecting the citizens peace and quiet" - from 22:00 to 6:00 on weekdays and from 22:00 to 9:00 on weekends and public holidays. Sometimes local laws prohibit noise not only at night but during the day: from 13:00 to 15:00.

And how to determine what the neighbors are noisy indeed much?

approvedRF Government Decree of January 28, 2006 № 47 (ed. from 02.08.2016) "On Approval of the Regulations on the recognition of the premises of residential premises, residential premises unfit for habitation and apartment house emergency and subject to demolition or reconstruction" limiting noise standards from 7:00 to 23:00 - to 55 decibels, and from 23:00 to 7:00 - up to 45 decibels. In practice, the punishment threatened for the noise over 60 decibels: it is usually characterized by hearing "very loud."

For comparison:

1. Talk in a calm tone - is 40-50 decibels.
2. Screams, children crying, the included vacuum cleaner - 80-90 decibels.
3. A variety of repair works - up to 100 decibels.
4. Pluggers, rock concert - 120 decibels.

Well, time - 12 am, neighbors above singing karaoke loudly. What to do?

First of all, go to them and try to negotiate peacefully. Perhaps people just got carried away, lost track of time and did not suspect that prevent you from sleeping.

If the world fails to resolve the issue, reminded neighbors that for breaking the law of silence, they face a fine. The dimensions of the fine differ depending on the region. For example, in MoscowMoscow City Law dated November 21, 2007 № 45 "Moscow City Code on Administrative Offenses") Citizens violator will have to pay from 1000 to 2000 rubles, and in St. PetersburgLaw of St. Petersburg on May 31, 2010 № 273-70 «On Administrative Offenses in St. Petersburg" - from 500 to 4000 rubles.

What else besides singing, it is prohibited in silence watch?

In principle, any noise that exceeds the volume of the norm: shouts, whistles, loud talking and music, drinking alcohol and noise on the landing, repair and construction work, and so the use of pyrotechnics Further.

But there are exceptions.

As a rule, the noise is admissible for some good reasons.

For example, if carried out emergency works or investigations of urgency, ensure the functioning of critical facilities and so on.

What if an agreement with the neighbors did not work?

Call the precinct or police outfit. The noise in the quiet hours - it is an administrative offense. Perhaps a visit to law enforcement agencies to the neighbors will be enough.

Keep in mind: if the neighbors were repeat offenders, that is, broke the silence a few times during the year, you can ask them to compensation for moral and physical damages in court.

If offenders - tenants, housing relieving your neighbors, and the owners themselves have taken the position of "do not know anything", you can complain to the tax, or (if foreign guests) to the migration service.

All of these rules apply to those who live in private homes.

I called the precinct, but when he arrived, the neighbors took a break. How to prove that they have made a noise?

Take care of the evidence in advance.

1. You can win over the other neighbors, who probably also suffer from noise. And already write a collective complaint, which is considered to be more meaningful.
2. Fix noise. Call the experts of Rospotrebnadzor (usually they go if the noise source - a cafe or shop) or staff expertise bureau. This service will be paid.
3. Record riot neighbors on video or tape recorder. Be sure to note on the record date and time. The more of these audio or video, the higher the chances that offenders will be punished to the fullest extent.
4. Alternatively, try to cope with the noise measurements alone. Help in this mobile app.

What if the district did not come?

To complain. Write heads of the district (the head of the district police department, the city police department and so on), please contact the prosecutor's office.

What if the neighbors are doing repairs in the permitted hours, but every day for several months?

If the repair takes a long time, only one way out: to be patient. But even here there are some nuances:

1. Construction work may last continuously for more than six hours. Taken together, repairs may not exceed three months.
2. repairmen team should work during certain hours. For example, in MoscowMoscow City Law dated November 21, 2007 № 45 "Moscow City Code on Administrative Offenses" repairs prohibited from 19:00 to 9:00 and from 13:00 to 15:00 and on Sundays and public holidays. But there is an exception: a ban on work on weekends and holidays do not apply if less than one and a half years from the date of an apartment house in operation.
3. To carry out a global and longer repair housing and redevelopment should be a special order. It specifies the work produced and their timing. If the neighbors are talking permissible alterations, they must comply with the schedule of works in accordance with the authorization. The total duration of the work has limitations, too. for MoscowMoscow Government Resolution dated February 8, 2005 № 73-PP "On the order of reorganization and (or) the redevelopment of residential and non-residential premises in residential buildings in the city of Moscow" is four months, unless otherwise provided in the order Moszhilinspektsii.

And what about the fact that the neighbors very loud noise the washing machine, and they loudly stomp?

First of all, inform the neighbors, they can of nothing guess. Ask enhance soundproofing, perestelit floor, put the carpet, do not run the laundry at night or in the hours, for example, when your child is asleep.

Apply to the court in this case, most likely, it is useless: it will be difficult to prove caused moral damage or other damage.

New Year's fireworks, night running around the house, too, is a violation?

In many regions, officially allowed to let fireworks from 23:00 to 4:00 December 31 January 1, as well as official holidays until 00:00.

On other days, if you want to start the fireworks in honor of his birthday or wedding anniversary, restrict the allowed hours.

What if the neighbors complain about me?

If you think that does not break the law of silence, looking for witnesses. You can enlist the support of a loyal neighbor, who will tell the police that you are not to blame. Remember: it's neighbors need to gather evidence that we mentioned above. Otherwise, any sanctions will not get any.

It happens that the neighbors complain about the crying child or a barking dog. But as a rule, such proceedings rarely reach court. Usually, all confined to the visit of the guardianship (in the case of a child) or the district, talking with other tenants of the house and the drawing up of the act in your favor.

If the neighbors are very stubborn, complain incessantly, and you are sure they are right, complain to them yourself. You can file a lawsuit for libel.

If you repair plan, Especially long, it is better notify your neighbors. Discuss with them the time at which noise is undesirable. In this case, a reaction to the sound of running drills on Sunday will not be as sharp.

Finally, if you are tired of the complaints are too sensitive (or, alternatively, by singing and stamping very noisy) neighbors, enjoy a soundproof housing.

What is the minimum program for noise reduction?

1. Improve the door. Input can upholster with foam and leatherette, set her extra nut. Metal doors further protect the decorative panels made of MDF, which can be stuck on the outside. Also, the noise level from the entrance will significantly reduce the second door.
2. Stud plasterboard walls with anti-vibration pads made ceilings. But keep in mind: it will reduce by 10 cm or more dimensions of your home.
3. Take on the floor, "floating" screed from the floor it separates an intermediate layer of absorbent material sounds.
4. Gap in the window frames can be repaired with rubber seals.
5. Find a place where it is best to hear the sounds of the neighboring apartments (this may be a gap behind the skirting board, under the window, socket and so on), and repaint it with foam.
