Try seeng patients with that noise at 8 am. Whether or not you see it as an issue is irrelevant.

So you are saying that blowing leaf is too loud. When should they do the work ? Off hours ? I think you're the only in the building that is complaining.

PS: It's not like they're blowing leaf everything 24x7, I think the max is maybe an hour once a week. Let them do their job. Just sit and back and keep quiet.

One last thing- Maybe your ears is too sensitive. Try using a earmuffs that might help.

Quincy has a noise ordinance, 9.08.090: No person operating a plant or machinery, the operation of which is excessively noisy and disturbing to the reasonable peace and quiet of the proximate neighborhood, shall operate the same or cause the same to be operated in the city before the hour of seven a.m. or after the hour of six p.m. of any day without a permit therefor first having been obtained from the chief of police.

The chief of police, in using his discretion in the issuance of such permit, shall take into consideration the emergency of the occasion and the reasonable necessity, the emergency considered, of such operation upon any day or days after the hour above set. The permit may cover a day or a period of days.

No person operating a plant or machinery that is adjacent to residential property shall operate machinery which is noisy and disturbing to the residents between the hours of five p.m. to eight a.m. without a permit therefor first having been obtained from the chief of police.

Thanks for fixing this request!

Attacking me does not add anything positive to your argument but I hope it makes you feel better about yourself. I cannot imagine I am the only one with this issue. I cannot wear ear muffs at work. It is not an hour once a week-- it is for several hours and more than once a week. It is a courtesy issue. They can pick up leaves without the leaf blower at least not for so many hours. Also, no, I will not sit back and keep quiet!

😀 Jimmy, hope this quiets down for you, must be aweful with a patient

I don't know what to tell you. Winter is right around the corner and the snowblower is next.........

The law looks clear, all noise during the day is legal so there is nothing to say. No one has to be sensible or courteous as long as it is during the day.

and after Winter comes the lawnmower.

"Watchdog": keep up the sarcasm. I wish you the best.
