## How it works

The [Maintenance of Property and Nuisance Regulation Bylaw No. 1479](<https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-10/bylaw%201479%20Mtnce%20of%20Property%20%20and%20Nuisance.pdf>) says no one may make, cause, allow or permit any noise that disturbs or tends to disturb the quiet, peace, rest, enjoyment, comfort or convenience of the neighbourhood or people nearby. It sets no fixed quiet hours for ordinary noise and no decibel limit. The only time limit is for construction: disturbing noise is not allowed between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Building, demolition and excavation work is expressly allowed from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The bylaw does not treat weekends or holidays differently.
