How much can you make noise in an apartment in Moscow and how to deal with troubled neighbors?

The question of how much noise can be made in an apartment is relevant for many people who inhabitapartment buildings in Moscow. Some are tortured by neighbors who are constantly and very loudly listening to music or playing musical instruments day and night, the restless dogs bark to others, the third is lucky to live next to the apartment in which they constantly make repairs.

Despite the fact that many are silently tolerating, not knowing how to find a management on such an attitude to others, all the important moments have long been regulated by the legislation of the Russian Federation. Violate the peace of the neighbors can not, every person suffering from extraneous noise, has the opportunity to defend their rights. The Basic Law of July 12, 2002 only defines the main points. In addition to it, it is necessary to base on additions, the latest of which came into force on January 1, 2016.

Noise in a modern apartment: figures, regulations, updated regulations

First of all, you need to remember that you can not make noise not only in an apartment building, but also the territory of kindergartens, hotels, hostels, houses, common areas and recreational areas.

According to the law, a whole list of actions breaking the silence is singled out:

1. Construction and loading works, repair, accompanied by any sounds.
2. Tools that play music too loud, play instruments, screams, whistles, singing.
3. Alarms on a motor vehicle or in an apartment of a house, working for a long time, both at night and during the day.
4. Pyrotechnics.
5. Any sound reproducing device.

The law precisely sets the days and times at which noise can not be created in excess of 45-55 dB.

• It's strictly forbidden to make noise on weekends and holidays. It should be taken into account that by the day off, by law, only Sunday is meant. Contrary to popular belief, on Saturday you can do everything the same as on any working day.
• All the rest of the time in Moscow and many other cities it is forbidden to arrange repairs, loudly swearing, doing noisy dog ​​training, singing songs, listening to music and creating other sources of noise from 19 pm to 9 am.
• In addition, during the daytime it is necessary to take a break in any high-profile events from 13.00 to 15.00.In these hours, young children can traditionally sleep.

Parameters characteristic of other subjects of the Russian Federation may differ slightly from the regulations imposed in Moscow. To not guess what changes were introduced by the city government in 2016, you should contact the police station or the administration of the settlement.

In addition to the main provisions, according to the law and amendments of January 1, 2016, there is one specific point. When it comes to new buildings, repairs and finishing works can be carried out at any time of the day. But only if no more than 18 months have elapsed since the commissioning of the facility.

Unfortunately, neither the basic law nor the additions of January 1, 2016 make a difference between the sounds issued during the repair, children's crying, loudly working musical instrument. It turns out that any person can complain not only that his neighbors during in off-hour hours improperly listen to music or began to drill the walls on weekends, but also that the child who these same sounds woke up at night cried.

Types of liability for noise, existing penalties and fines

The legislation of the Russian Federation considers too loud noise in the daytime as a violation of prescribed norms, and at night as an attempt to violate public order and the tranquility of citizens. In Moscow, a first warning is provided for the first offense. If the case is repeated and the neighbors continue to disregard the rules, then the system of fines follows:

• For individuals up to 2 000 rubles.
• For managers of enterprises up to 8 000 rubles( if in a residential building noisy neighbors or squat, but a legal organization located in a converted apartment).
• For legal entities up to 80 000 rubles.
• Repair carried out in Moscow at night is additionally punishable by law only in the case of legal entities. For managers up to 40 000 rubles, for organization up to 300 000 rubles.

Everyone should know before what time it is allowed to make noise on normal and weekends, when you can and can not do repairs or listen to music. This will not only cope with such a problem as noisy neighbors, but protect yourself from the risk of breaking the law.

Fines are not the most terrible punishment for those who do not know how much noise can be made in the apartment or neglects the requirements. In judicial practice, there are cases when particularly noisy people were forcibly evicted from privatized housing. True, this was often the result of numerous complaints from several residents of one house and many years of litigation. Violators of tranquility in this case repeatedly violated the law, ignoring the decisions of the responsible authorities and the demands of the police.

Effective methods to deal with noisy neighbors

You can not tolerate the fact that behind the wall or on the floor above live noisy neighbors. If people are accustomed to making noise, they will not stop, not hearing comments or having encountered representatives of the authorities. Depending on the situation, you can use one of the following methods:

• To begin with, you just have to talk. It is likely that the tenants of another apartment simply misjudge the audibility in the house when they turn on the music. Or maybe adults do not even suspect that in those days when they are absent, their sociable child arranges parties.

Advice: It is strictly forbidden to "knock out a wedge with a wedge".In this case, you can not only waste your time and nerves, but also run into informational savvy people who will immediately go to the police and write a complaint.

• If the conversation took place, but no positive shifts are observed and everything is still on the weekends, repairs are continuing, and after 19 hours the TV is screaming loudly, it will be necessary to call a police squad. This measure will make it possible for neighbors to take the seriousness of their claims. After the visit, the authorities should make a copy of the exit report. If it comes to court, this kind of paper is very useful.
• It happens that neighbors are debauchers with experience, such one outfit does not scare. In this case, you need to contact the district police officer and write a statement. Under the law, he is obliged to hold an explanatory conversation with tenants of the problem apartment and regularly check the situation. Do not worry, if in the daytime all neighbors are calm, backing up their words with a report from the police, you can count on the fact that the district police officer will not put the case in the box.
• If the story continues, the repair goes on in hours or days of rest, and bored tenants believe that music should be heard at night, will have to go to court. In Moscow, this now does not surprise anyone, so the case will be considered without fail. To ensure a successful outcome of the case, it is recommended to enlist the support of other tenants and draft a class action lawsuit. But even if people behind the wall purposefully terrorize tenants of a particular apartment, do not retreat. With the help of documents from the police and the support of the district police officer, you can easily demand to punish the offenders.

There is no reason to spoil your days off and the end of working days, no one has the right to deprive others of quiet hours in their own( and removable) apartment. Even in a situation where the situation with neighbors has reached a dead end, you can turn to a lawyer who clearly understands the situation and explains which option is best to adhere to to regain a quiet life.
