Neighbors doing renovations are very noisy

Federal Quiet Law 2020

Not all citizens of the Russian state know that currently the current legislation of the Russian Federation provides for the regulation of violations related to the peace of Russians. All limits for “noisy” actions are established at the federal level. That is, the authorities of large cities pass laws regulating the regime of silence, which operate at the local level.

Thus, in 2020, updates to the following law came into force in Moscow:

• the noise level from 7.00 to 23.00 should be no more than 40 dBA;
• noise limit at night (23.00 - 7.00) - up to 30 dBA.

Such restrictions were introduced specifically so that residents of apartment buildings have the opportunity to protect themselves from harmful noise. This also applies to visitors to medical institutions, schools, and kindergartens.

In more detail, all the nuances and restrictions of the law on peace and quiet in Russia can be found in the summary table diagram by following the link https://pravpotrebitel.ru/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/tishina9.jpg. This chart contains all the relevant data for the regions of our state (starting from the Republic of Adygea and ending with Moscow and St. Petersburg - 20 positions in total).

"Noisy" activities prohibited by law in 2020

Russian legislation clearly limits the time when permissible noise levels cannot be violated:

• on weekdays from 22.00 to 8.00;
• during siesta (during the “quiet hour” of daytime rest) from 13.00 to 15.00;
• on weekends and holidays from 23.00 to 12.00.

Repairs are strictly prohibited on weekdays from 20.00 until the morning.

The law classifies the following as “noisy” actions:

• radio, TV, musical instruments turned on loudly;
• playing musical instruments (trumpet, piano, upright piano, drums, violin, etc.);
• pyrotechnic works (including on holiday weekends, except New Year's holidays);
• unloading and loading work during the move (including rearranging furniture);
• shouting with scandal, singing, whistling, loud speech;
• all types of repair work (including, it is forbidden to drill walls and ceilings during this time, determined by legal limits).

In case of disturbing the peace of Russian citizens, the violator can actually be punished in a completely legal way.

When neighbors don't have the right to drill

In addition, some regions prohibit their residents from making too much noise during lunchtime (from 13:00 to 15:00)

• It is strictly forbidden to exceed the permissible noise limits established by law at night (from 11 pm to 7 am).
• Continuous repairs should not take more than 6 hours a day.
• Continuous repairs on a long-term basis are possible for no more than 3 months.
• In the process of carrying out repair work, you must not exceed the noise standards of your region or all-Russian ones, unless the possibility of such a violation has previously been discussed with neighbors or other persons to whom the noise may cause inconvenience.
• Repairs should not only not disturb the peace of citizens, but also not cause them any property damage.

Where to contact regarding non-compliance with the silence law

If you find yourself in a situation where your neighbors disturb your peace with “noisy” actions at inappropriate times, write a complaint against them (of course, after preliminary peaceful negotiations). You can file such a complaint with the local administrative court, which, after considering it, will make its decision.

Before the trial, it is advisable to contact the local police department, that is, your local police officer and Rospotrebnadzor. Also, the sanitary and epidemiological service carries out measurements of the noise level in the premises, officially recording this in the necessary documents (acts), which are provided by the injured person to the judicial authorities.

How is noise measured during renovation work?

The amount of noise produced during construction and restoration work is determined by special devices - sound level meters, as it is measured in acoustic decibels (dBA). This unit of measurement is a physical quantity that indicates the sound pressure level at the human ear.

The sound level meter works on the principle of a regular microphone, but a voltmeter is also connected to it, on which the scale of marks is indicated in acoustic decibels so that you can determine the noise level in the required units. Its principle of operation is based on the work of such a human organ as the ear. That is, this device detects not only the frequency of sound noise, but also its intensity. Also, several filters are built into the sound level meter, which imitate the mechanism of the human ear. Currently, two such filters are used:

• A - creates the effect of the middle ear, that is, it captures the range of low noise levels;
• B – effectively responds to strong noise (including actions such as drilling and knocking).

Thus, this device acts on peak levels and evaluates them in an average mode. All sound level meters that are designed to measure noise in our country are manufactured in accordance with officially approved standards - GOST 17187-81. Of course, the measurements made by instruments of this type depend on both the purpose of the measurements and the conditions in which they are carried out (in an empty room, the echo effect can affect the noise level).

The sanitary and epidemiological station carries out appropriate measurements of the noise level, in the event of a written complaint from a Russian citizen:

1. Employees with a sound level meter visit the plaintiff on weekends exactly during the period of time specified in the legislative documents.
2. The noise level in the plaintiff's apartment is measured.
3. Record data on official procedures and results in relevant documents (reports of inspection of housing conditions).
4. They go to visit the offender.
5. They measure the noise level in the offender’s apartment while he is carrying out repair work (that is, when he starts drilling, knocking, etc.).
6. All measurement results are recorded in the prepared report.

You, having in your hands the appropriate document with official data on the violation of the quiet regime and your peace, boldly go to court to punish the violator of the order.

Penalties for violating silence

If you decide to drill a wall on weekends after 11 p.m., keep in mind that your neighbors may contact the relevant government authorities with a complaint against you. Penalties for individuals have a graduated system, that is, the monetary fine for each subsequent violation of the silence law will be higher:

• for the first time - from 1000 rubles to 3 thousand rubles (depending on the severity of the moral damage suffered by the victims);
• the second time – 4000 rubles;
• for the third time – 5 thousand rubles.

Such fines are provided not only for individual citizens, but also for officials and legal entities. An official can be paid from 5 thousand rubles (for the first violation of the silence regime) to 50 thousand rubles (for the third and subsequent times). But legal entities (companies, firms, enterprises) in case of non-compliance with the framework of this Federal Law can immediately prepare a monetary amount of 20 thousand rubles (the minimum fine for the first time of violation) up to 150 thousand rubles (the maximum monetary fine).

How to avoid penalties for disturbing the peace of neighbors

If you decide to start repair work on the weekend, but are afraid of receiving a monetary punishment for your actions, do not worry, there is a way out. Experts suggest: you can come to an amicable agreement with your neighbors, and then get their written permission to carry out repairs in your apartment on weekends. Just don’t forget to write down in it all types of “noisy” work that you will perform (for example, hammering, drilling, etc.), and also indicate the exact time they will be carried out (from 8.00 to 23.00). If you have such a document, you can safely begin repair work to improve the living space in which you or your relatives live.

Do I need to coordinate repairs with neighbors?

When planning to do long-term repairs, it is more correct and civil to ask your neighbors when they are at work, and agree on the time at which the repairs will be the least noticeable and disturbing for them.

If construction work requires actions that go beyond the law, for example, work at night, then they must be coordinated with authorized representatives.

It is advisable to notify your neighbors in advance about plans to drill a wall on Sunday, especially if they have a small child.

Expert advice

To avoid misunderstandings between you and the residents of neighboring apartments, remember some of the nuances that accompany any repair work. So, during any noisy activities, you simply need to take a break every six hours (both you and your neighbors have a short “quiet” break). The duration of any continuous repair should be about three months (in the case of a protracted “long-term” option, there will be a need to take a break for a month, after which you can again begin the “noisy” arrangement of your home).

Repair is a troublesome task that takes a lot of effort and nerves. The monetary aspect is also involved: materials for wall decoration, tools are expensive, owners are always nervous, afraid of making the wrong choice. All this hassle is complemented by chaos in the apartment.

Everyone is trying to finish the renovation as soon as possible. To do this, you have to work on weekends and holidays. A conflict of interest arises: the neighbors have other plans at this time.

Since the layout of any apartment building assumes a low degree of sound insulation of the premises, noise from construction work will disturb neighbors.

Important! If you receive complaints and requests to stop making noise at a certain time, it is worth making a compromise. Getting into conflict is a losing proposition.

Neighbors may have small children who will not fall asleep to the noise and will get scared. On holidays, the sounds of a puncher and a hammer will upset guests and ruin the festive mood.

Situations are different; everyone decides for themselves what to do. In case of conflict situations, there is a set of laws stipulating the permitted noise level at different times.

It is worth stopping work if your neighbors ask you to do this at a certain time:

• At night.
• On holidays.
• On the weekend.
• Early in the morning.

It’s not your neighbors’ fault that the finishing work of your apartment is actively progressing, and your eyes are full of excitement and determination to finish everything right today.

The procedure for repairs in 2020

When is it permissible to exceed the noise level in 2018:

This is the law in 2020. Answering the question whether it is possible to drill and make noise on weekends and holidays - definitely: no.

Is apartment renovation included in the list of prohibited noises?

Frequent complaints and appeals forced representatives of the State Duma to adopt Federal Law No. 52 in 1999, regulating the requirements for maintaining silence on weekdays, holidays and weekends.

The law specifies the following sources of noise:

• tape recorder or other sound reproduction devices;
• singing and playing instruments;
• whining, shouting and swearing;
• construction and repair work;
• loading and unloading, movement of furniture;
• car alarm;
• use of pyrotechnics;
• barking or howling of animals.

This list also includes other sound sources that disturb the peace of citizens.

There is such a thing as “lawful noise,” for which no punishment is imposed.

No one is prohibited from making noise at this time.

What if the neighbors make noise during the renovation process and how to achieve silence during the required hours

Arbitrariness on the part of people living through the wall is an unfortunate situation. Repairs for neighbors can make life miserable for a long time.

The situation requires a delicate attitude. First of all, you should talk to your neighbor and try to resolve the situation peacefully.

If you have endured the noise for a long time, and now the boiling point has reached its peak, do not rush into conflict.

Renovation is a complex and unpleasant process, and living in an apartment building requires compliance with some community rules.

Think about whether noise really bothers you? Can music or TV fix the situation? The point is not at all in the noise of the neighbors, but in the fact that you have accumulated stress and you are trying to throw out your emotions.

What to do if neighbors make noise at inappropriate times:

1. Ask them to stop the noise. Do it politely, in the form of a friendly request. This approach will be successful in 50% of cases.
2. If you receive a refusal, explain that the situation forces you to turn to an officer of the law.
3. If you are refused again, return to the apartment and wait half an hour. A neighbor may refuse you, but stop making noise for fear of punishment.
4. Does the noise continue? Call the local police officer. You did everything you could.

There are cases when noise at inappropriate times is permitted by law. The mother of a small child who cries at night will definitely not be fined for exceeding the noise level.

It is allowed to carry out repair and rescue work when an emergency situation threatens the lives of citizens, damages property, or causes damage to state property.

Otherwise, silence must be maintained at night, on weekends and holidays.

Ahhhh, what to do when the neighbors are doing renovations and drilling into the walls? Terrible sound

Don’t be so selfish, the world doesn’t just revolve around you! people need to do repairs and it is impossible to do it quietly. You can make noise while doing repairs from 10 to 6. You can’t really do this on weekends, but before you go knock on your neighbor, you need to do the human thing - go and ask not to make noise on weekends in the morning.

In general, according to the rules, before making repairs, you need to get permission from the building management. There is no this permission and if the police arrive there is a fine of about 20l. permission for 3 months. You can extend it for as long as you like, at least 5 years. if there is no permission and you call the police, he may be fined. but what do you mean? the next day he will take permission and officially start making noise!

Penalties for failure to comply with the law

The law of different regions provides for punishment for exceeding the noise level at the wrong time in the form of a fine from 500 to 3000 rubles. The exact amount of the fine can be found at your place of residence.

Important! If you are planning a renovation, try to warn your neighbors in advance that your place will soon be noisy.

Explain that if the noise becomes a nuisance, they can safely knock on your door and you will stop working until the allotted time.

It’s better to be friends with your neighbors; in difficult situations they will help. And quarrels will only complicate life, take away your nerves and health.

If repairs are happening behind the wall and you are afraid that your arrival will provoke a conflict: take the advice of a psychologist.

How long can repairs be done?

Therefore, before arguing with your neighbors, you need to clarify whether your region has prohibitive regulations and until what hour you can’t make noise. General requirements are established for night time. It is prohibited to make noise throughout the country at night. Moreover, the concept of “night time” is also established by regional legislation.

One of the most annoying noises is the sound of repairs. Of course, we are not talking about changing the wallpaper or painting the walls. Neighbors are particularly irritated by the use of drills, hammer drills, hammers and parquet sanding machines.

Moreover, periodic use of such tools is unlikely to tire anyone. But in the case of long-term major repairs, the noise can last for weeks.

Let's consider from when and until what time neighbors have the right to make repairs.

Concept of noise and silence

Conditions for comfortable living and physiological standards are somewhat different. A person is able to withstand noise of 55 dB without harm to the hearing organs, and at night - 40 dB. Constant exposure to noise in this range does not cause any harm to the hearing organs, but from a psychological point of view it is an active and annoying irritant.

For comparison, a motorcycle engine noise is within ninety decibels, and a car signal is one hundred and twenty. At the same time, even the norms established by SanPiN are constantly violated.

Regulation of norms in this area is carried out by articles of the Code of Administrative Law. If it is necessary to measure the noise level, only representatives of Rospotrebnadzor should do this.

On-site employees record the noise level and draw up a violation report. On the other hand, the AP Code does not provide sufficient grounds for protecting residents from noise.

The only article that can be used to protect your rights is Article 6.3 of the Code of Administrative Law on violation of the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of citizens.

According to the provisions of this article, the violator will incur administrative liability in the form of a fine, the maximum amount of which is up to 20,000 rubles, and then only for entrepreneurs. But an annoying neighbor who drills into the wall every day will lose no more than five thousand rubles.

Keeping quiet at night

Many residents practice carrying out repair work at night, as they work during the day at their main places of employment.

At the same time, the neighbors’ persuasion in the spirit of “My little child does not sleep” and “We cannot rest” does not have the proper effect on a noisy neighbor.

In this case, you should be guided by the legal establishment of hours of silence, designated by SanPiN for the entire country and for some regions separately.

In Moscow and large cities of Russia, the period of silence lasts from 11 pm to 7 am; in the regions and suburbs this range can be shifted, starting from 10 pm and ending only at 8 am.

If during the specified period of time a neighbor with a drill gives no rest, the first thing to do is call the police. Upon the fact of a violation, a protocol will be drawn up with the involvement of witnesses; no measurements will be made. The culprit undertakes to pay a fine for disturbing public peace at night.

Repair work can only be carried out at night with the permission of the prefect in special, limited cases, but at the same time do not drive piles, turn off the motors of construction electrical appliances and do not use megaphones.

When do neighbors have the right to make repairs?

When can you make noise during repairs? It all depends on your region of residence. But sometimes you can be guided solely by generally accepted norms. On weekdays you have the right to repairs from 8 am to 8 pm. In this case, the total duration of noise cannot be more than 6 hours in a row. Please note: renovations in the apartment (without interruptions) should not last more than three months. So, if you started, for example, changing pipes, you will have a specified period of time for this. And nothing more.

Keeping quiet during the daytime

The legislation on silence classifies as noisy work the installation of plywood, frames, stripping, dismantling of partitions, installation of communications in the walls and fastening of frames for suspended ceilings.

Despite this, a small child should sleep during the day. What to do in this situation?

It is much more difficult to disturb a noisy neighbor during the day and only by referring to articles 2.1.2.2645-10 of SanPiN.

According to the provisions of these articles, the noise standard at night is thirty decibels, and during the day - forty decibels. The boundary noise at night should not be higher than 45 decibels, during the day - 55 decibels. During the day, these values ​​can be exceeded by a maximum of 5 decibels, and in a house located near a highway - by 10 decibels.

From a legal point of view, you can stop a neighbor only if these values ​​are exceeded. But if you know what type of work is being carried out in the neighboring apartment, you can take advantage of several more provisions.

Redevelopment of the apartment and related repair work can be carried out on any day, with the exception of Sundays and holidays. On permitted days, work must begin no earlier than 9 a.m. and end no later than 7 p.m.

Obtaining permission for redevelopment is a serious process that requires a lot of additional paperwork from local governments, architecture, urban planning, management companies and homeowners associations. If you are sure that the redevelopment is being carried out without the necessary package of documents, you can safely contact the police.

In addition, the documents authorizing the redevelopment, even if obtained by the neighbor, set strict time limits within which the redevelopment must be completed.

What to do if neighbors drill every day

The timing of repair work is of primary importance. If a neighbor uses a drill or hammer drill on weekdays at the allotted time, that is his right. Moreover, he is not obliged to respond positively to your requests.

For example, the Novosibirsk region does not establish a daily period of silence. Therefore, citizens have the right to make noise even if your small child is sleeping.

The question here is about educating a neighbor. A friendly person will not want to spoil neighborly relations and will adjust the period of noise. But such conscientious citizens are rare.

If you act within the framework of the law, then you need to pay attention to the fact that not only the time of noise matters, but also its level. However, only the result of an appropriate examination can prove an excess.

It is carried out at the expense of the applicant and is paid on an hourly basis. Since you cannot predict when the noise will occur, you will have to pay for the waiting period for an expert in your apartment.

Moreover, it is impossible to predict in advance the excess noise level. Therefore, the success of the enterprise is not guaranteed.

doing repairs at night

This situation has a chance of success. Noise at night is prohibited throughout the Russian Federation.

Therefore, in case of constant night noise caused by repairs, it is necessary to call the police. Police officers will draw up a report on the administrative violation.

However, this does not guarantee that repair activities will stop at night. Responsibility arises based on the results of the review of the protocol by the administrative commission. This usually happens within 30 days from the date of registration of the protocol.

To pacify noisy neighbors, it is advisable to call the police whenever noise occurs. The liability under the first protocol will be 500 rubles. Each next – 1500 rub. Financial responsibility often strongly motivates citizens.

Important! Neighbors are not required to open the door to police officers. And police officers do not have the right to independently enter residential premises. Therefore, it is advisable to be interested in the results of the visit. Perhaps the measures do not produce results.

repairs on weekends

In most cases, the law of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation on silence prohibits repair work on weekends. However, this issue needs to be clarified depending on the region.

Example . Valentin went to court to recover moral damages from his neighbor. The man explained that the apartment above him had been undergoing renovations for a long time. Since the neighbors work and do repairs on their own, the work is carried out mainly in the evenings and weekends. In accordance with Sanpin 2.1.2.2645-10, the noise level from engineering and technical devices is established. The man presented a research report, which recorded exceeding the permissible limit. He also explained that the neighbor was repeatedly brought to administrative responsibility for noise in the evening. The defendant's lawyer explained that the results of the examination cannot be included in the case, since the company does not have the appropriate license. However, the court found the offender guilty and ordered him to pay moral damages in the amount of 5,000 rubles. and the amount of state duty. But the costs of the examination were not reimbursed.

on Saturday

Not all regions protect the right of citizens to rest on Saturdays. However, most subjects of the Russian Federation classify Saturday as a weekend.

Therefore, stricter rules of silence apply on the Sabbath. For example, in St. Petersburg, making noise on Saturday is prohibited from 19.00 to 12.00 the next day. Therefore, carrying out repair work at this time is unacceptable.

And the Lipetsk region does not consider Saturday a day worthy of special silence. Therefore, noise is allowed from 6.00 to 23.00.

on Sunday

Most regions prohibit noise on Sunday. However, exceptions must be taken into account.

It is allowed to make noise and carry out repairs on holidays and weekends in a new building. The period depends on the commissioning of the facility. In some regions the period is 3 years. And in the Moscow region - only 6 months.

Example . Evgeniy went to court to oblige the neighbors to make soundproofing. During the renovation, neighbors removed the soundproofing coating and laid laminate directly on the concrete floor. The litigation lasted more than 2 years. The result of the examination confirmed the absence of insulation. The noise level significantly exceeded the established standards. However, the court refused to satisfy the demands. The court considered that the Sanpins are not mandatory, but advisory standards.

In an apartment or communal building

The situation in houses of this type is complicated by the fact that the right to rest and silence cannot be used to the detriment of the right of other residents to carry out repairs. At the same time, a child in an apartment is not legally any barrier to carrying out repairs in neighboring private areas.

It is possible to draw up a report after calling law enforcement officers only if a neighbor drills through the wall, does it at night, violates sanitary and hygienic standards, or carries out work illegally.

For example, residents living under a social tenancy agreement must obtain permission to carry out renovation work, unless otherwise specified in the agreement.

In any other cases, when repair work is carried out in full compliance with the law, you can rely only on the noise level and contact SanPiN rather than the police.

What to do if a neighbor drills with a hammer drill at the wrong time

Crazy ruling. You don’t even want to wipe yourself with it. It’s useless to call the cops, based on experience, the first time a warning for subsequent fines is 50 rubles :) so the most effective way is for a healthy guy with a powerful basque to lean out of the window and yell: “uh, who’s drilling there? ! I'll fucking drill it into someone. “usually there is silence.

Don’t just explain the situation to him, explain that this is not how it’s done. Disrespect for you and other residents of your home. If this doesn't help. We live in a purposeful time. and punching someone in the face is the last thing, even if you punch it, it can turn against you. he can submit an application. In general, go for it

Noise on weekends

To determine whether a neighbor’s action is illegal, you also need to know the type of work being carried out.

So, during the daytime on a working day, the neighbor must stop working from 13 to 15 hours, on Saturday and Sunday - from 10 pm to 8 am. If neighbors drill beams and frames intended for redevelopment on Saturday or Sunday, regardless of the time of day, you can contact the police, since redevelopment work is prohibited on weekends.

In the area with this order it is stricter. On weekends, repair work of any kind cannot be carried out in the region.

The neighbors are just TERRIBLE at drilling

Author, according to the law, noisy construction work can only be carried out on weekdays from 11.00 to 14.00 and from 16.00 to 18.00. If these limits are not respected, write complaints by registered letter to the relevant authorities

We did the bathroom for a month, our Vanya worked from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., except weekends, the neighbors hung themselves, the cutting of porcelain tiles was especially harsh, even the hammer drill rests there. In short, just in case, we didn’t leave our cars at the house for a minute at that time, only for parking, from people like the author

Ways to fight

If the law on silence is constantly violated by a neighbor and he drills into the wall regardless of the time of day, you can safely contact the police and write a statement to summon the violator to the administrative commission. It is possible to contact the prosecutor's office or court.

What to do to catch your neighbors violating during the daytime:

• Constantly disturbing noise is recorded by special representatives of the Rospotrebnadzor laboratory;
• Based on the measurement results, a protocol is drawn up;
• The protocol and testimony from neighbors are attached to the police application.

But it should be remembered that the measurement will not be carried out if the noise is intermittent or random, caused by the natural activity of people, slamming a door, carrying out emergency repair work, watching TV or listening to music.

What to do to catch your neighbors trespassing at night:

• Call the police;
• Draw up a protocol, if possible, involve neighbors and collect their signatures.

Based on the protocol, the neighbor will be required to pay a fine for an administrative violation.

If your neighbors have “perpetual repairs” and they have been disturbing the peace for months, paying fines and still continue to systematically violate the requirements of Administrative Law, it is possible to make a collective appeal to the management company or the HOA at the house for eviction.

To do this, you will need to gather the council of the house and put the issue forward for consideration. It is advisable to make a list of all residents present at the meeting, if the offender is not among them - another argument.

But if the violator was not notified of the meeting, there is no reason to consider him full-fledged. It is enough to post a notice on the entrance door.

When drawing up a statement to the police, it is not necessary to use documentary standards; the statement is drawn up in free form. The text of the application indicates the type of violation, the name of the neighbor and his address of residence, the name of the neighbors signing this application with you.

It would be effective to indicate the frequency of the violation and the date the police were called. But what you shouldn’t do is reciprocate with your neighbors, make noise, play loud music, and even more so make threats, otherwise you may get a counter statement.

How to deal with overly hardworking and noisy neighbors

However, a simple drill often already works at this sound limit, and a hammer drill generally gives 60 - 70 dB. Grinders, sanders for sanding, and other construction equipment also create sounds of unimaginable volume and obnoxiousness. What happens? Repairs cannot actually be done at any time of the day. By law, anyone who dares to drill anything at home with a hammer drill or cut off a piece of wood with an electric saw can be prosecuted. An absurd situation. In reality, of course, few people would think of complaining about a neighbor who does repairs exclusively during the daytime and on weekdays. Otherwise, then everyone would be placed in equal conditions with a total ban on repairs.

• You can resort to video and audio recording.
• Collect evidence from other neighbors.
• File a class action lawsuit (this is a very effective measure).
• As a consumer, file a complaint with Rospotrebnadzor (this must be done before filing a claim, then the offender will definitely not get away with it).

Hole in the wall - what to do?

If neighbors drilled right through the wall, there are grounds for a more serious punishment. In the best case, the neighbor will voluntarily pay the fine and compensate for the damage caused; in the worst case, the issue is resolved through the court with the collection of additional payments.

If you find that your neighbors have drilled through the wall, the first thing you need to do is call an independent expert. Specialists must conduct an examination of all the causes of damage to the wall and indicate the amount of property damage caused.

Having the expert opinions in hand, the offender is sent a registered letter with a copy of the expert opinion attached and an offer to voluntarily pay for your property losses.

If the violator does not agree to an open dialogue and is not going to voluntarily compensate for losses, they go to court with an application for compensation for the damage caused and the cost of repairs carried out or planned.

You also have the right to recover the cost of calling experts and all court fees from the defendant, including proportionate moral damages.

FAQ

Some situations require additional clarification, since each case of violation is unique and it can be difficult to immediately determine whose fault it is.

• I have a child, the noise interferes with sleep, where should I go?

Unfortunately, the legislation does not take into account the daily norms of sleep and remaining calm if there is a child in the house. But you can put your child to bed from one to three in the afternoon - the official lunch break time, during which the neighbor has no right to make noise with a drill.

• Vibration from devices in my neighbor’s apartment is destroying the finish, and my plaster is crumbling.

According to current legislation, the use of construction electrical appliances that exceed vibration and noise standards is prohibited during household repairs. To resolve the issue, you need to call an expert and draw up a report on damage to property, and go to court with the report.

• My neighbors drill all day long without breaks or weekends.

A statement about a systematic violation is drawn up and submitted to the district police officer. It’s good if the police were called repeatedly earlier and violations were recorded.

• They are building a store under my windows, they drill and disturb it every day.

Legal entities and private entrepreneurs are subject to the same laws on silence and compliance with sanitary and epidemiological standards as individuals. Administrative liability applies to such persons in the same way, but the fines are several times higher.

• The district police officer refuses to accept the application and take action.

In this case, it is advisable to ask the district police officer for a written explanation of his inaction and contact higher authorities at the place of residence. In some cases, inaction may be regarded by a higher authority as assistance.
