Noise law - construction work and renovations on weekdays and weekends.

Every law-abiding citizen should be aware of how much noise you can make near public, residential buildings and in your living space on weekends. This is necessary in order not to violate the law and not disturb other people. How much noise can you make on Saturday, Sunday and non-working holidays? There is no single law in the Russian Federation that could answer this question, but for this purpose, almost every region has its own rules.

As you know, certain types of noise can cause damage to human health and even lead to death. To measure the level of sound vibrations, a single unit of measurement is provided - decibels (dB). According to sanitary standards, the recommended noise level at night should be 40 dB, during the day – 55 dB. For comparison:

40 dB is obtained during a quiet conversation, and this noise is also produced by a running PC;
60 dB measures conversation in raised voices;
a child's crying is estimated at 80 dB;
100 dB is emitted by a train traveling in the subway;
110 dB is produced by the stereo system;
An airplane takes off from 120 dB;
200 dB can be fatal.

According to the sanitary standards of the Russian Federation, daytime is the period from seven in the morning to 11 in the evening.

At this time, the noise level in places where people live should be within 55 dB. There is no distinction between days of the week in these documents.

When can you make noise on weekends?

In different parts of the country, the time from which you can make noise on weekends varies. This often results in confusion. Thus, the law stipulates that in the capital it is allowed to exceed the permitted noise level on weekends from ten in the morning to ten in the evening. After the specified time, the volume of sounds should be forty decibels. In order not to break the law, it is necessary to make the TV and other devices quieter.

There is also another law in force in Moscow, which states that on weekends you can make noise and carry out work related to repairs only from nine in the morning to seven in the evening. These pieces of legislation contradict each other.

According to them, it turns out that from 7.00 to 10.00 and from 19.00 to 23.00 it is not allowed to carry out construction work accompanied by noise, but noise of other origins is allowed.

The hours from which you can make noise on weekends in some regions of the Russian Federation are as follows:

in St. Petersburg from seven in the morning to 23.00;
in Yekaterinburg from eight in the morning to 22.00;
in the Nizhny Novgorod region from eight in the morning to 22.00;
in Kazan the time is set from six in the morning to 23.00;
in Voronezh from seven in the morning to ten in the evening, etc.

By the way, most laws do not differentiate between days of the week. The restrictions are only written for time. In other words, it is allowed to make noise during the day, but not at night. Exceptions are some regions, such as St. Petersburg, Rostov, Samara, Nizhny Novgorod and Oryol regions. There, the law prohibits noisy repair work on weekends and national holidays. In order to make repairs during this period, you must obtain written permission from your neighbors.

What kind of noise is considered a violation?

Considering that the term “loud noise” refers to a figurative term, legislative norms provide for a specific designation of noise.
The unit of noise measurement is decibels (dB). Legislative acts provide for the following standards:

During the daytime, the approved norm is from 40 to 55 dB.
At night – from 30 to 45 dB.

To compare the sound level that complies with the standards, you can listen to the sound emitted by the vehicle alarm, the level of which is 80 dB.

For information on what actions need to be taken if the sound volume in a multi-storey apartment is exceeded, check out the visual graphic table.

Rules of the law on silence in Moscow and the Moscow region

Legislative standards for maintaining peace in the capital define a list of sounds that are classified as noisy, with a ban on their reproduction at the time approved by regulatory documents. This list includes:

Music from holiday organizers located next to residential buildings.
Moving furniture.
Loading works.
Loud quarrels and scandals.
Dog's bark.
Finishing construction work during redevelopment.
Loud TV shows and loud music.

Additional rest time for Muscovites, according to the latest changes in the law, is defined as rest from 13.00 to 15.00. This rest is provided for children's sleep during daylight hours.

Thus, Muscovites can carry out repairs and move furniture on weekdays: from 09.00 to 13.00 and from 15.00 to 19.00.

On weekends and holidays, loud noises are allowed in the following ways:

On Saturday.
When carrying out repairs on a residential area, creating a danger for residents.
When preventing and eliminating natural events.
During religious gatherings.

In other cases, making noise on weekends is prohibited.

Regulatory documents on quiet mode in the Moscow region provide for a longer period of time for noisy activities. Therefore, the rest time when you cannot knock loudly is:

from 22:00 to 8:00 – on weekdays.
from 22:00 to 10:00 – on weekends and holidays.

In addition, additional daytime rest time is accepted from 13:00 to 15:00.

If established standards are violated, the violator will be subject to financial penalties, in accordance with Art. 6.3 and 6.4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

Below is a visual poster showing the time of noise restrictions for Muscovites.

List of violations provided for by law

According to Russian legislation, violations are provided for, namely:

noise from technical devices and equipment;
sound from car alarm;
loud screaming, singing;
noise from musical instruments;
noise during repair work;
other actions.

This is not a complete list. It can be supplemented endlessly. The main criterion in all cases is what level of volume these actions produce and whether they disturb others. There are also exceptions to the law. So, if an alarm went off when a vehicle or other object was broken into, this will not constitute a violation. Also, noise generated during emergency work will not be a violation of the law.

How to fight against offenders?

It is advisable for neighbors to independently agree on when and how much noise they can make on weekends. If this cannot be done peacefully, then it is necessary to involve law enforcement agencies. The district police officer, first of all, must conduct a conversation with the violators. If this does not help, then next time he issues an administrative violation report. This documentation will become the basis for imposing penalties.

It is also recommended to record the noise in any available way. This is necessary in order to prove the fact of violation to law enforcement agencies. After all, it often happens that while the local inspector arrives to the call, the noise stops. This recording will also become evidence at trial.

If the noise produced harms the health of neighbors, namely, it causes insomnia, increased blood pressure, and nervous disorders, then after recording a violation by the sanitary and epidemiological service, the attending physician and the local inspector must file a lawsuit. The judicial authority is obliged to consider the claim and award compensation for moral damage.

The following categories of citizens are allowed to be held administratively liable for failure to maintain peace and quiet:

citizens over 16 years of age;
legal entities;
officials.

Punishment for violators

Russian legislative acts provide for the following options for bringing to responsibility:

warning;
fine. Moreover, it is collected in favor of the state.
Different regions of the country have their own fines:
in the Moscow region, penalties range from 1,000 to 8,000 rubles;
the fine for legal entities in Moscow is in the range of 40,000–80,000 rubles;
in St. Petersburg, the fine for citizens is 500–4000 rubles;
fine in the Northern Capital for officials - 5,000–10,000 rubles;
The fine for legal entities in the Northern Capital can be 25,000–50,000 rubles.

In order not to break the law and not spoil relations with neighbors, you need to clearly know how much you are allowed to exceed the normal noise level in your region.

Apartment buildings are the most common type of housing for most citizens. Of course, getting along with neighbors of different temperaments is not so easy, and therefore there are a number of administrative rules. Eg ,

How long can you make noise in an apartment in 2021? We need to figure it out.

If you cannot independently solve the problem of tactless citizens in your neighborhood, then relying on legal grounds will not be superfluous.

Any city is a constant noise, and after hard everyday life we dream of relaxing in tolerable conditions. Therefore, making noise, celebrating or swearing is allowed until 23.00. If at any moment the peace of citizens is suddenly disturbed, then it is allowed to call a squad to solve a minor problem.

Reasons to call the police:

There are rehearsals or performances in the house.
Any playing on an instrument, even on wooden spoons, must be stopped at the specified time or transferred to the rehearsal room. Otherwise, the apartment owner will be fined, but this contingent also understands the warnings.
Operation of the equipment.
Television and music are now a serious source of problems if houses have poor sound insulation. Sometimes you can solve the problem using the classic old-fashioned method: knocking on the battery.
Repairs.
Yes, renovations of premises, especially in new buildings, last for years. And the first permanent residents are not even aware of the unplanned psychic attack.

General provisions

They got tired of the noise, and people decided to go to their neighbors, because even during the daytime there was constant discomfort. And the source of problems on weekdays, according to the law, can do whatever he wants: make noise, create quarrels and other entertainment. You can do this during the day. But there are standards for everything, and even for the noise made, although more on that later.

Any large city in Russia has time restrictions regarding noise and silence. And the norms are as follows: during daylight hours (from 7 am to 11 pm) you can make noise within 55 decibels.

District police officers are armed with instruments that measure such indicators. Therefore, if there is a clear violation, then calling a police officer to a problem neighbor is a way to protect your civil rights.

Fines for violations

Everyone wants to live in peace, especially with new neighbors. It is rare when someone deliberately follows childish principles and deliberately “punishes” each other in such ways. But you can also be held accountable.

When patience runs out and no arguments hit the target, then they no longer turn to the police.

Let's consider an action plan for dealing with careless neighbors:

We contact the sanitary and epidemiological station department, from where field specialists are required to measure the noise level and record the data on paper.
We are writing a paper to Rospotrebnadzor, which also considers complaints about this kind of trouble.
We call the local inspector. Such a measure can be completely anonymous, and all further moralizing will be carried out by people in uniform.

When neighbors make noise at night and do not comply with noise standards during the repair process, the following fines are appropriate: for noisy repairs from 1 to 2 thousand rubles, and for ordinary night noise up to 1 thousand.

We understand what kind of country we live in, and that for some it means that neighbors call the police - this is a kind of insult. Therefore, because of little things, polite people are sometimes forced to put up with arbitrariness, which is extremely strange for the entire civilized world. After all, the violator is punished.

Noise standards

Everything is simple here:

Day up to 55 decibels.
Night up to 45 decibels.

There are even some exceptions to the rules for areas located near railway tracks or highways, and for the day up to 10 decibels can be added to the total value, and for the night no more than 5 units.

How much noise do different sources produce:

30 units – human voice or operation of electrical appliances.
40-45 decibels – dialogues in moderate tones.
55 decibels – noise from a car.
75 units – vacuum cleaner operation.
78 decibels – baby crying.
95 decibels - the joke from the hammer drill is not even in the next apartment.
120 units – jackhammer operation under the window.

What actions can break the silence?

If there are doubts about the operation of any devices or actions, then the following list will definitely disturb the peace of the neighbors:

Sound reproducing devices (TV, tape recorder, computer).
Musical instruments. Here even good singing is a reason for concern.
Security alarm under the windows.
Pyrotechnics in the yard.
Moving, loading building materials, repairs using power tools.
Other household work.

But it also happens that some actions are forced to disturb our peace of mind. And more specifically:

Work to prevent crime or eliminate accidents. Emergencies and natural disasters do not pass without noise, and here you will have to come to terms.
Cultural, sporting, religious events or ceremonies. All this is also not without shouts, songs and rituals.
Other actions agreed upon with the district administration.

Results

Everyone wants to live together, and each of us does not want to develop conflict. And even prolonged holidays in the evening are not always a reason for the arrival of an outfit. Therefore, general harmony in courtyards and entrances has been created over the years; this, unfortunately, is our mentality.

Almost every resident of apartment buildings has encountered the problem of noise in the neighborhood, which interferes with sleep or work. But is it possible to fight this and if so, how?

What to do if you yourself are the source of noise and thereby greatly irritate the inhabitants of your home? To answer these questions, it is enough to know what you are entitled to if you suffer from a noisy neighbor. You also need to remember how long you can tolerate noise, and when it’s worth fighting it.

The twenty-first century is deservedly recognized as the noisiest. And this is not at all surprising, since around us there are continuous sources of noise in the form of cars, household appliances, and repair equipment. People themselves are often the source of noise, because not everyone knows how to control the volume of their own voice when communicating.

All this noise can have a detrimental effect on the general well-being of any normal person. The human body needs regular and quality rest. Against the background of noise interference, people often cannot rest properly. As a result, insomnia, migraines, chronic fatigue and irritability can develop.

So that every person could rest and accumulate energy for the next day, Federal Law No. 52 “On Sanitary and Epidemiological Standards” was developed, regulating the well-being of the population.

One of the points of this law is devoted to permissible noise exposure during the day. The first law of this kind in our state was adopted back in 2002. Since then, it has been constantly supplemented and updated.

In 2021, some changes were made to the law that will help protect against neighbors making noise above the permissible level at inappropriate times. By knowing the basic requirements of this law, you can avoid unnecessary irritation from neighbors and receiving fines for being too loud.

In order to know how and what to deal with, you must first understand what exactly is considered a violation of silence.

By law it is:

Talking or shouting too loudly;
Pyrotechnic products;
Repair work and equipment that can disturb the peace of the residents of the house;
Construction work that is carried out close to or directly in a residential building;
Sound amplifiers used in public places (including those operating while the car is moving);
Loud music or singing;
Repeated activation of the car alarm;
Household appliances with increased noise output;
Animals that make loud noises.

Noise of any kind that can disturb the peace of surrounding citizens, both during the day and at night, can become a cause for conflict with all the ensuing consequences.

The permissible noise level during the daytime is 40 decibels, and at night – 30. Violation of these standards may result in administrative punishment in the form of a fine.

Until what time do neighbors have the right to make noise?

Specific time frames regulating the possibility of noisy activity of neighbors are not specified in the law “On Silence”. The right to regulate this issue in a temporary space is vested in regional authorities.

Thus, in each individual region, the time of the “noise day” may differ slightly.

A similar restriction is adopted by local councils. The average time during which the silence regime must be observed in the regions of the country is between 23:00 and 7:00.

In addition to the above rules, others also apply:

Continuous noisy construction work cannot exceed 6 hours;
Repair work, regardless of whether it was carried out daily and whether it was noisy, should not last more than 3 months;
The noise coming from special equipment should not be higher than 40 decibels;
If there is a need to carry out any construction or repair work at a time not intended for this, it is imperative to agree on this issue in writing with all neighbors without exception;
Any music lessons, development of practical skills in playing musical instruments or singing should be stopped when a period of silence occurs;

Saint Petersburg

What is the responsibility? Depends on what exactly broke the silence. For “using sound-reproducing and sound-amplifying sound amplification devices,” as well as “screaming, whistling, knocking, moving furniture, singing, playing musical instruments and other similar actions,” you may receive a warning or a fine:

for citizens - from 500 to 5000 rubles;

for citizens - from 500 to 5000 rubles;
for officials - from 25,000 to 50,000 rubles;
for legal entities - from 50,000 to 200,000 rubles.

Document regulating the regime of silence.

Article 8 of the Law of St. Petersburg dated May 31, 2010 No. 273-70 “On Administrative Offenses in St. Petersburg” (as amended on December 25, 2019).

Time limits according to which neighbors can make noise on weekends

On weekdays, loud repairs or other sources of noise do not often disturb neighbors, since most people are at work during the day. But doing noisy work on weekends can cause increased dissatisfaction and even lead to the emergence of conflicts and scandals on this basis.

In order to avoid clashes, neighbors can agree in advance how and when they can make noise. Otherwise, you need to be aware of local regulations that allow you to work at high volumes on Saturdays and Sundays or other legal holidays.

By law, in almost all regions of the country, the silence regime on Saturday is no different from weekdays. But on Sunday, neighbors do not have the right to violate the silence throughout the day.

This rule also applies to all holidays except January 1st. Although there are, of course, still regions in which Saturday is also a day to rest from noise.

Dealing with noisy neighbors

If you are unlucky with your neighbors, and they allow themselves to make noise as much as they please, you have the opportunity to influence their way of life. It is certainly quite difficult to achieve a result in this war, but it can be done legally.

To begin with, all civilized people have the right to try to reach an agreement and ask a neighbor not to make noise when it is already prohibited or to make noise less when his work or entertainment exceeds the permissible volume.

If such negotiations do not produce results, then you have the right to contact law enforcement authorities. They must act according to the law, taking decisive action against violators who do not know or do not want to know how long and how loudly they can engage in high-profile cases.

Violators of civil peace have the right to impose an administrative fine, which can become a significant means of punishment.

If a lawbreaker repeats his illegal actions, law enforcement officials have the right to impose a double fine on him. In case of malicious disobedience to the decision of local authorities and violation of the law “On Silence”, he can be arrested for 15 days.

The size of the fine is determined by the decision of local councils and can range from 1,000 to 50,000 rubles. The amount depends not only on the region, but also on who the fine is imposed on (legal entity or individual).

If police representatives refuse to respond to a call, and a neighbor still does not want to pay attention to how noisy he is in an apartment building, you don’t just need to call the duty station. For a more effective response, you can ask the police for the serial number of your call, which they assign to each call.

You also have the right to demand an explanation of why they refused to respond to the appeal. As a rule, such a conversation will become an impetus for police officers to perform their duties.

The problem of noisy neighborhoods concerns many people. When purchasing a home, everyone dreams of making their stay in the house comfortable and cozy. But quite often, this idyll is disrupted by not entirely respectable and noisy neighbors.

So, the neighbor on the left has been hammering and drilling something since early morning. From above there is a stormy squabble between the spouses, which is accompanied by shouting, breaking of dishes, and throwing out furniture. And I really want peace and quiet, especially in the evening on weekdays after work.

What to do in such a situation: continue to put up with the constant noise or find justice for the restless neighbors? Help can be found in the legislation of the Russian Federation, or more precisely in the “Law on Silence”.

Under what circumstances is noise illegal?

When noise from construction work exceeds established standards, such actions can be regarded as disturbing the peace and quiet of the population. For illegal acts, the construction company will definitely be held accountable, followed by a fine of 40-80 thousand rubles.

Since such provisions are present in the current legislation, people whose peace has been disturbed have a reason to contact the authorized bodies. Here it is important to draw up the document correctly and submit an application to the department, where the fastest way will be to achieve the desired result.

What does the “Law of Silence” say?

Living in an apartment building and not making noise or disturbing the peace of the neighbors is something that rarely happens. At least once in your life you have to make repairs, celebrate an anniversary, or calm a crying baby.

Noise has different consequences for human health. At best, you can get a nervous breakdown, at worst, death.

In Russia there is a “Law on Silence” that regulates the time when you can make noise on weekdays and weekends.

It is immediately worth noting that there are no regulations for the entire country.

Each subject of the Russian Federation has the right to establish by law the following:

when you can’t make noise in the apartment;
night time boundaries;
acceptable volume level;
repair procedure.

Here is an example by city, from what time and until how much noise you can make:

Moscow – 6:00 – 22:00;
St. Petersburg – 7:00 – 23:00;
Ekaterinburg – 8:00 – 22:00;
Kazan – 6:00 – 23:00;
Voronezh – 7:00 – 22:00.

If we take the average for Russia, it turns out that you can’t make noise from 22:00 to 08:00.

In addition, many regions legally differentiate the silence regime by day of the week: on weekdays (Monday to Friday) - one time, on weekends - another.

The same example is Moscow. The law of the local government establishes that making noise is prohibited from 11 pm to 7 am. It also specifies separately until when repair work can be carried out: on weekdays the ban is introduced from 7 pm to 9 am, as well as from 1 pm to 3 pm. On weekends and holidays, noisy repairs are strictly prohibited prohibited.

Advice: when going on a visit or moving to a permanent residence in another region, ask in advance how much noise can be made in the apartment and outside it. This will allow you to avoid collisions with residents of other apartments and violation of the law, which entails a fine.

Regional features

Each subject of the Russian Federation has the right to establish its own requirements, as well as time frames that allow repair and construction work to be carried out in apartment buildings. It is worth noting that all regions have similar points, namely:

Prohibition on construction work on weekends. This provision also applies to holidays established for the entire country.
The time period during which work is permitted varies everywhere, however, everywhere it can begin no earlier than 9 a.m. and be completed no later than 7 p.m.
According to the law, repairs in an apartment building cannot last longer than 6 hours daily. A break must also be included in this period.
Repair work in a building with many apartments cannot take more than 3 months.
The permissible noise level cannot exceed 40 dB.

Noise Limits

The answer to the question of how much noise is allowed can be found in sanitary standards. Thus, SanPiN defines night time from 23 to 7. It is during this period of time on weekdays that sound greater than 45 dB must be stopped.

According to the standards, the maximum noise level in a residential area that is not harmful to health is a sound of up to 55 dB during the day and up to 45 dB at night.

You can measure the sound level with a special device, and if you don’t have one, you should use a hint.

The following are the most popular noise sources, expressed in decibels:

whisper – 30 dB;
people talking – 45 dB;
screaming during a quarrel – 60 dB;
baby crying – 77 dB;
working vacuum cleaner – 74 dB;
refrigerator – 42 dB;
printing printer – 50 dB;
telephone call – 80 dB;
screwdriver – 65 dB;
hammer drill – 94 dB;
jackhammer - 117 dB;
music in a nightclub – 110 dB;
flying airplane – 140 dB;
explosion – 200 dB.

Sound of 90 dB, which lasts for a long time, negatively affects the human central nervous system. It leads to insomnia and nervous breakdowns.

Agree, it is very difficult to go to work on weekdays and perform your duties efficiently when your sleep is regularly interrupted. At a noise level of 100 dB, hearing loss is likely.

When starting a renovation or a friendly party, you should be guided not only by how much noise you can make, but also by taking into account the level of sounds produced.

○ Permissible noise level.

Permissible noise standards are established by SanPiN 2.1.2.2645-10. Thus, in the daytime, which is determined from 7 to 23 o'clock, the maximum value of the maximum permissible noise level is 55 dBA, and at night, from 23 o'clock to 7 am - 45 dBA.

At the same time, it is possible that this standard indicator may be exceeded by 5 dB during the daytime. For residential buildings adjacent to highways and railways, the excess can reach 10 dBA.

The noise level can be determined using special instruments or through a comparative assessment.

The SES has special professional sound level meters that allow you to accurately determine what noise is coming from the neighbor’s apartment where renovations are being carried out.

You can take measurements yourself, using special programs from the Internet for smartphones or computers.

The easiest way is to make a comparative assessment. For example, the sound of a working hammer drill produces 94 dBA, and a jackhammer produces 117.

Actions that lead to a violation of the law

Violation of silence, according to sanitary standards, are:

the use of all kinds of technical devices that reproduce sound;
turning on a car alarm;
playing musical instruments;
loud screams, singing, whistling;
Carrying out loading, unloading and repair work;
other actions.

But not all noisy activities are considered illegal. There are exceptional moments. So, if the alarm went off during a car break-in, the owner of the vehicle is released from liability.

Elimination of accidents and consequences of natural disasters is also not illegal and can be carried out both on weekdays and on holidays, including at night. You will have to put up with the crying of the baby. For him, weekdays and weekends are always the same.

How to pacify noisy neighbors

The noise from the neighboring apartment has become constant, and this applies not only during the day, but also at night. What to do?

You can try to talk to the troublemaker and find out the reason. Very often, a heart-to-heart conversation has an impact. If this does not help, you should unite with your neighbors (after all, the offender is not only disturbing you) and write a collective complaint. As a rule, this gives results.
Negotiations unsuccessful? The next step is to contact the local police officer. He will conduct an explanatory conversation with the violator, and if this does not have an impact, he will draw up a protocol of the administrative offense.
Go to court. To do this, you need to have strong evidence: testimony from neighbors, copies of statements to the district police officer and administrative protocols, audio or video recordings, a certificate from a medical institution about deteriorating health. In this case, you can demand compensation for moral damage, which will be a good measure to combat a troubled neighbor.

Knowing the “Law of Silence” will help protect yourself and your loved ones from noisy neighborhoods. Just don’t forget that anyone can become an unwitting participant in loud noises, disturbing the peace and rights of other citizens.

When planning a renovation or a party, warn your neighbors about it, agree on when and until what time the event or construction work will take place.

Friendly neighbors are always better. Besides, you may find yourself in their place.

According to our legislation, making noise is allowed from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Very often people make repairs without paying attention to the people around them, the babies crying behind the wall. Sick, exhausted by illness and your incessant repairs.

Refresh your apartment, tear down a wall or install a jacuzzi - it's your choice. Only your neighbors have nothing to do with it.

You need to think about older people and young children who need naps during the day. It is for such cases that a break is provided. Of course, you can enjoy your favorite music, actively play with your child, and also hang a picture bought in a store on the wall. But at the same time, you need to know when you can make noise.

Failure to comply with the law may result in prosecution.

Exceptions may be:

performing emergency rescue operations;
performing urgent installation, construction and other works;
public safety;
life support;
natural disasters;
holding sporting events;
official cultural events.

Until what hour can you make noise in your apartment on weekdays and weekends?

At this stage there is no law defining noise levels at night. The “Silence Law” notifies and defines the period of time during which any noise is undesirable.

In some constituent entities of the Russian Federation, there is a law of regional significance that regulates the basic rules.

Times vary by region:

Moscow from 22 to 06;
Voronezh from 22 to 07, etc.

The Duma discussed a law that could prohibit making noise on holidays and weekends. In this case, violators of the law will have to pay:

10 thousand rubles (ordinary people);
200 thousand (for legal entities).

Today there are more lenient fines in the amount of 3 thousand rubles

. Violators can also be arrested for 15 days.

What if it's a renovation?

Considering this issue, we can highlight several main points. In many regions, some restrictions apply: on weekends, holidays and state days, it is strictly prohibited to carry out any construction work, make minor repairs, not to mention the complete refurbishment of residential premises.

According to the law, from 9.00 to 19.00 it is prohibited to perform the following types of work:

clean up and remove waste from the work site;
use elevators to transport construction waste;
cause material damage to adjacent premises.
