City Construction ordinance allows for these working hours windows.
- 7am-7pm/Mo.-Fr.
- 9am-6pm Sat and
- 11am to 5pm Sunday.
Call non-emergency police number [893-7780] if violation occurs.
We went through this and reported repeated violations almost every weekend for more than 6 months. You may have to inform the police officer who will show up that this is not a 'noise' ordinance but a 'construction' one - i.e. no crew is allowed to work outside these stipulated hours.
If this is the same developer than the one installed here, he would try to appease the police officer w/various excuses. E.g. saying it's not his fault, that he had told his crew not to work on the weekends, etc. [Come on, construction folks don't show up for work if they're not paid.]

Please see the excerpt from the Municipal Code of Ordinance that governs construction noise:

Sec. 8-7. - Days and hours of operation.

(a) It is the intent of this section to identify the days of the week and the hours of the day that construction activities, including but not limited to, exterior building construction, alterations, or improvements, demolition or earth moving, excavation, drilling, coring, pile driving and any other outside activity, and any inside activity which results in exterior noise, dust, traffic, light or other nuisance that differs from typical daily activity in all surrounding blocks are prohibited.

(b)This section shall apply to construction sites, located within 1,000 feet of any lawful residential use. This section does not apply to the moving of structures (see article V of this chapter, moving buildings).

(1)Construction activities shall not occur Monday through Friday prior to 7:00 a.m. and shall cease operations prior to 7:00 p.m.

(2)Construction activities shall not occur on Saturdays and nationally recognized holidays prior to 9:00 a.m. and shall cease operations prior to 6:00 p.m.

(3)Construction activities shall not occur on Sundays prior to 11:00 a.m. and shall cease operations by 5:00 p.m.

If construction is happening outside of the allowed hours please contact the St. Petersburg Police Department non-emergency line at 727-893-7780 as they enforce noise ordinance violations.

See, even the city official (Mayor Action Center 5) treats this as an infraction to a 'noise' ordinance. It's a 'construction' ordinance infraction. No work (noisy as not noisy) to occur outside allowed hours. Please, inform our police officers better about this important & legal difference.

Isn't that one of the reasons they need a construction permit? To insure compliance with city code.. Maybe code enforcement needs to be notified?

Law enforcement issues (illegal parking or other activities, noise ordinance violations, etc.) need to be reported directly to the St. Petersburg Police Department by calling 727-893-7780 (for non-emergencies) or 911 (for emergencies.)

Thank you for responding to this issue. Understanding this is more than a noise complaint we have forwarded the information to the Building and Permitting Department for their evaluation. The SPPD handles the noise violation aspect of construction, and this issue was tagged as a noise complaint so we responded to that and we apologize for the misunderstanding. We will post any information we receive back from the Building and Permitting Office on this issue report, and you can also contact them directly at 727-893-7231. Sincerely, Mayor's Action Center

The City of St Petersburg periodically reviews past reports that are made from citizens within our city limits, and in an effort to clean-up old issues that were resolved some time ago, we are marking as 'closed' those issues that were submitted in the past for which the work has been completed or the issue has otherwise been resolved.
