Natalia, good afternoon.
Since you carry out noisy work only at the permitted time, then according to the Code of Administrative Offenses of Moscow, you are not threatened with administrative punishment. Well, you can understand the neighbors, they will be dissatisfied in any case, even if the repair is done, even if the children are stomping.
a) use of televisions, radios,
tape recorders and other sound-reproducing devices, as well as devices
sound amplification, including those installed on vehicles,
objects of small retail trade - kiosks, pavilions, trays,
in nighttime;
b)
playing musical instruments, shouting, whistling, singing, and other
actions accompanied by sounds, which caused a disturbance of the peace of citizens and
silence at night;
c) the use of sound signals of car alarms, which caused a disturbance of the rest of citizens and silence at night;
d) the use of pyrotechnics, which caused a violation of the peace of citizens and silence at night;
e)
repair production, construction, unloading and loading works,
entailed a violation of the peace of citizens and silence in nighttime;
f) other actions that resulted in violation of the peace of citizens and silence at night in the protected territories and in the protected premises in the city of Moscow.
Natalia, the norms of the law contain the time period in which you have the right to carry out work, namely from 7 am to 11 pm
Article 3.13. Violation of peace and quiet of citizens
- entails a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine on citizens in the amount of one thousand to two thousand roubles; on officials - from four thousand to eight thousand rubles; for legal entities - from forty thousand to eighty thousand rubles
Law of the City of Moscow of July 12, 2002 N 42

silence at night in protected areas and in protected
premises in the city of Moscow include:
e)
production of repair, construction, unloading and loading works,
entailed a violation of the peace of citizens and silence in nighttime;
This norm does not establish restrictions on the noise level, you do not violate the time period, therefore, even if they complain, they will not be able to hold you accountable, because ... there are no violations on your part

Hello!
How then can you beat it?
Natalia
You can beat at any reasonable time, at which it is not forbidden to break the silence.
In particular, it is allowed to break the silence at the time when you were working. The main thing is not to use industrial equipment, but only household hammers.
Otherwise, neighbors may also be outraged by loud music if it interferes with them, but no sanctions are provided for this.
In itself, a short-term violation of silence, even more than 40 decibels, although it violates the rights of neighbors, does not entail either administrative or civil liability.
You need to proceed from the fact that the puncher is manufactured at the factory according to GOSTs, the walls in the house are made according to GOSTs. You cannot somehow reduce the noise level during the repair work.
Although the transfer of electrical wiring is a reorganization and you are required to coordinate such work with the administration.
part 1, article 25 of the LC RF
Reconstruction of a dwelling is the installation, replacement or transfer of engineering networks, sanitary, electric or other equipment that requires changes to the technical passport of the dwelling.

Hello, it’s better to warn neighbors about upcoming work, and coordinate with someone, treat this with understanding (someone has a sick child, someone came after a night shift, etc.), and noisy work can be done in accordance with the RESOLUTION dated February 8, 2005 N 73-PP ON THE PROCEDURE OF RECONSTRUCTION AND (OR) RE-PLANNING OF RESIDENTIAL AND NON-RESIDENTIAL PREMISES IN RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS ON THE TERRITORY OF THE CITY OF MOSCOW.
".... 2.7. The mode of reconstruction and (or) redevelopment of residential and non-residential premises in residential buildings is established taking into account the following requirements.
In residential buildings during the period of repair and construction work is not allowed:
Perform work on Sundays and public holidays;
- start work involving noise earlier than 9.00 and (or) finish them later than 19.00;
Use in the production of work equipment and tools that cause the excess of the normatively permissible level of noise and vibration;
2.8. The total duration of work cannot exceed four months, unless otherwise provided by the order of the Moscow Housing Inspection.
Besides,
there are health regulations. Permissible noise level in residential premises: - during the day (from 7 am to 11 pm) the sound standard should not exceed 40 decibels (maximum 55 dBa); - at night, the sound level is on the verge of 30 dBa, and the maximum is 45 dBa.
To make it easier for you to navigate, let's figure out what these decibels are equivalent to.
So, for example, 40 dBa is ordinary human speech, a little lower - a whisper, a little higher - a cry. Anything above 60 is characterized as "very noisy", i.e. at the same time, you can already inform your neighbors about your indignation. The edge of "extremely noisy" is 100 dBa, which is the volume level of an orchestra or thunder.
Article 26 of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of January 28, 2006 N 47 “on approving the regulation on recognizing a premise as a dwelling, a dwelling unfit for habitation and an apartment building as emergency and subject to demolition or reconstruction” states: “in a dwelling, the permissible sound pressure levels in octave frequency bands, the equivalent and maximum levels of sound and penetrating noise must correspond values established in the current regulatory legal acts, and not exceed the maximum allowable sound level in rooms and apartments during the daytime of 55 dB, at night - 45 dB. at the same time, the permissible levels of noise generated in residential premises by ventilation systems and other engineering and technological equipment must be lower by 5 dBA of the indicated levels in the daytime and at night.

Sincerely, Guzel B.
There are such rules, but they are applied differently.
Kolivanov Sergey
Hello. I do not agree with Sergey, in the sense that these rules are applied as he indicated.
Speech in clause 6.1 of the said SanPiN refers to the maximum permissible sound pressure levels, equivalent and maximumlevelssound in residential buildings and on the territory of residential development, and refers in this part to Appendix 3, which he cited. Thus, this application refers specifically to the level of noise that penetrates into the living space from external sources, but is in no way related to the quality of the walls, because. for example, noise from the street is measured with open windows, transoms, narrow window sashes (clause 6.1.1).
Consequently, the maximum noise level from external sources in the living rooms of apartments in the daytime (from 7 am to 11 pm) is 55 dBA. At the same time, please pay attention to the fact that this noise level is set only for living rooms. For non-residential premises in an apartment, the maximum size is not set, i.e. noise level should be measured only in living rooms.
Responsibility for violations of this SanPiN is provided for in Article 6.4. Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation
Violation of sanitary and epidemiological requirements for residential use and public premises, buildings, structures and transport -
entails the imposition of an administrative fine on citizens in the amount of five hundred to one thousand rubles; on officials - from one thousand to two thousand rubles; on persons engaged in entrepreneurial activities without forming a legal entity - from one thousand to two thousand rubles or an administrative suspension of activities for a period of up to ninety days; on legal entities - from ten thousand to twenty thousand rubles or an administrative suspension of activities for a period of up to ninety days.
However, it is not clear to me how you established that the noise level in the neighbors' apartment exceeds at least 40 dB. To measure it, special devices are required, and given that noise measurement is not in great demand, such equipment is probably only available in Rospotrebnadzor. So until noise measurements are made in the living rooms of neighbors, using certified and verified equipment, you have no reason to worry. Just work and ignore the complaints of the neighbors and very politely answer them that everything will stop soon. Neighbors do not need to know about Rospotrebnadzor.)
Today we will talk about noisy work, find out where they come from, what tools in terms of sound bother us the most, what time it is possible to repair an apartment, how long walls can be chiselled, whether it is possible to work on holidays and weekends.
Noisy work in a residential building, apartment
Noisy jobs are known to be generated by the use of tools. Let's look at which of them we get the maximum amount of discomfort.
Jackhammer
You probably saw this tool at the worker, who on the street beats off the old asphalt for laying the new one. I must say right away that this tool is not for the home. Its power may be enough to shake its entire structure, so forget about it. For any, even serious redevelopment, a perforator is suitable.
Perforator
This tool has several modes of operation. One of them is the performance of the functions of a puncher for drilling holes in concrete (brick, etc.). But, since a drill, even an impact one, is not a puncher, it is not able to completely replace it. Yes, with a good drill it can do a lot of things. But when chiselling dense enough concrete, it will roar much louder than a hammer drill, which would do the same much quieter.
Grinding machine (Bulgarian)
If you cut tiles with this tool, then it is advisable to wear headphones.
Electric jigsaw
It makes noise, but less than a grinder cutting tiles or a perforator that hammers a wall. An electric jigsaw is convenient, for example, to cut thick plywood for the floor.
Sledgehammer
Killer hand tool. They can smash the wall, but you should not do this,. To be honest, I’m even scared to imagine what such a tool can do in an apartment.
A hammer
Who has not held this instrument in their hands? Maybe it's not very loud. But the monotonous driving of nails for several hours can piss off even a patient neighbor.
The main difference in the noise of electric and hand tools is that hitting a wall with a hammer or sledgehammer is one-time. While the power tool emits an incessant roar that intensifies when the drill / disc / hacksaw blade begins to contact the surface being machined.
Time of noisy work in an apartment building
One of the basic rules for renovations is: respect other people, namely, respect your neighbors. Before making repairs, carefully study the question: how long it is possible to carry out noisy work in the apartment for your own well-being.
Sometimes we live and do not notice those around us. For many of us, neighbors are neither friends nor enemies. However, if it is absolutely not necessary to write them down as friends, then under certain circumstances it is very easy to make enemy neighbors.
Most of all, neighbors are annoyed by noisy works. Therefore, to begin with, evaluate what you will do in principle. It is one thing to drive in a nail and quite another to hammer a wall.
Below I will give the rules for noisy work and rest periods for Moscow, the Moscow Region, St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region. It is impossible to cover all regions in one article, so if you live in other regions, it is useful to study your table and know your rights.

Rules for noisy work in an apartment building (good manners)
But what if your repair cannot be stopped? If you understand that you will have to make noise anyway?
It is clear that we are all people, and we do not always manage to follow the rules. Sometimes it even happens that it does not depend on us. If you seriously decide to make repairs, then it is better to get acquainted with all the nearest neighbors in advance: on the left, on the right, above and below. Honestly, I'll tell you that I did not immediately reach this thought. So, we got to know the neighbors, found out if there are elderly people or small children in your environment and made the appropriate conclusions.
Remember the main thing, if you estimate that noisy work will last more than 15 minutes, it is better to go in and warn the neighbors (left, right, top and bottom), or rather, ask them not to be very angry with you! For neighbors, your arrival is very important, in this case it is a sign of your respect for them. Therefore, even if it is very noisy, this rule will work.
Remember one more thing. When warning about noisy work, be honest about the approximate time it will take (15 minutes, 30 minutes, within an hour, during the day with breaks, etc.). Neighbors will be much easier to adapt to you. Knowing is better than complete ignorance. Let's say you haven't warned anyone and you've been banging on the wall for an hour and you have 10 minutes left. before completion of work. And behind the wall, the mother must put the child to bed. What should she think? What will you actually finish in 10 minutes. Or maybe you've just started.
If at night you suddenly hear noise in the apartment, then do not immediately run with your fists at your neighbor because he turned on the puncher at night. Listen first to the sounds, there are also quite curious situations, as described in the article:.
Noisy work on weekends. Horrible story from personal experience
It was a very long time before the new year. We had to put up a door. At that time I didn’t install the door myself, but I already laid the tiles. Therefore, I called a company that was supposed to install the door for me. It was a bathroom door that opened onto a hallway. By that time, the tiles on the floor in the bathroom and the corridor had already been laid. I knew that the installation of the door is not a very noisy job and the master will complete it within an hour or two. Since work cannot be done on New Year's Day, the installation of the door was scheduled for January 5th.
Problem
Have fun with friends celebrated the New Year. Everything was going great. For some reason, I remembered about January 5, most likely something worried me, but I stubbornly could not understand what it was. And suddenly it hit me! When I was making a plan for repairing an apartment, I missed one important detail!
The fact is that the tiles in the corridor and in the bathroom were laid on the floor at different times and with a long break. For some reason, I forgot about the junction of these two tiles (a door should hang above it). There, at first, a threshold was assumed, then something else, but the solution was never brought to mind. Time passed and I left this seemingly trifle for later. As a result, in the New Year, I slowly began to realize that if I don’t do anything now, then after installing the door, nothing can be done there (the installed fashionable door jambs will interfere).
Terrible decision
Oddly enough, but immediately a solution was found on what to do. You need to take a piece of corridor tile and install it in place of the threshold so that you get a smooth one-level transition from the corridor to the bathroom. (The bathroom and corridor tiles were laid out on the same level).
Everything would be fine, but this is not a quick thing! I need:
- Hollow out a niche in the concrete floor to fit the size of the tile (right above the future door).
- Cut tiles of the appropriate size from the tile.
- Glue the tile in the grooved area.
Only 3 points, but what! Point number 1 scared me the most. This is the noisiest work in nature that you can think of in the house, and even on New Year's Eve. In addition, after gluing the tiles, it is imperative that a day pass so that you can walk on it (after all, the door installation masters will work there). Hence the plan is:
- January 5 - installation of the door by the master (already agreed in advance);
- January 4 - the tiles that I will glue will dry;
- January 3 - chiselling the floor, cutting tiles and gluing tiles.
You understand, the dates cannot be shifted back - January 3 for chiselling the floor - this is already complete madness! What will the neighbors do to me! I did not like this apartment renovation plan at all!
Of course, today, I would simply postpone the repair to another day, since it’s my own fault for not finishing it. But on that New Year's day, the devil took over me.
I will not tell you what kind words I received on the answering machine after 40 minutes of chiselling the concrete floor with a hammer drill on January 3rd. It turned out that my phone immediately found the floor of the house. Attempts to reach me on the phone or at the front door during the chiselling were in vain, because I was wearing working headphones and did not hear anything.
conclusions
- During the repair, you need to respect the people who surround you.
- If you decide to do something, think it over in advance, figure out what work you have to do.
- If you have difficulties, consult a friend or specialist. Surely you have a person who can simply suggest something or see something that you do not see.
- Never make repairs in a hurry. Repair in general is a matter of power, especially when it is done with one's own hands.
Following the above rules, you will get real pleasure from the repair. Especially when you see the results of your work!
Earplugs for noisy work. Another episode from my practice
I had a case when I drilled a hole in the bathroom with a hammer drill. There was nothing in the bathroom, just bare concrete walls and old metal pipes. So, while working in the bathroom, I felt the full power of the roar of the instrument, the sound from which, in a small enclosed space, bounced off the walls at breakneck speed and resonated in my ears. At first I did not pay attention to this, and then, when I left the bathroom, I greatly regretted that I continued to work and did nothing. For the first time in my life, I felt for myself what the phrase "ringing in my ears" means. The sound remained for 1 - 1.5 hours, then it began to weaken. When the ringing stopped, I breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, when it didn’t stop for me during the first 30 minutes, for a moment I thought that it would stay with me forever. Since then, if noisy repair work awaits me, then I put on special headphones.
But it is best to get the most ordinary earplugs.
Well, this is where the article ends. Today we talked in great detail about noisy work.
And for whom is it - FOR ALL? For all owners? Or for all parents? Or for everyone who managed to move? Or for everyone who makes repairs? For everyone who stays at home? Or for everyone who works? FOR ALL the law is written, its provisions are given at the beginning of this thread, and everything else is your "Wishlist".
Let's not be so aggressive, and also read all the posts in full, and not through the line. The law, "the provisions of which are given at the beginning of the branch" refers to noise, not higher than 55 dB. Did you read my post about the noise level produced by a rock drill? Will you continue to argue? Let me, just in case, give you your own words quoted from the law: "The rest of the time it is allowed to carry out construction work,but not exceeding the established standards for the level of penetrating noise: the maximum short-term noise level during the day must not exceed 55 decibels (SanPiN 2.1.2.2645-10)."
P.S. I love our people. "We read here, we don't read here. And now let's draw our conclusions."

For information to neighbors claiming the legality of noisy work from 7 to 23.
If the noise during the repair exceeds 55 dB (a confident conversation between two adults), then the settled neighbors will have a completely legal right to sue you.
So at the moment we can only talk about a compromise, i.e. limit noisy work (obviously exceeding 55 dB in noise) during the day for certain hours, but tolerate the rest of the time.
Sorry, but do not confuse ... n with a finger. There we are talking about the systematic violation of silence by a music lover.
We have a different case - the noise is associated with the need for repair work. A short-term excess of the maximum noise levels (in particular, noise during the repair of an apartment) is not subject to fixation and, as a result, cannot be the basis for bringing to administrative responsibility.
And even if some repairs are associated with redevelopment and reorganization (when walls are destroyed, etc.), they can work thanks to the entry into force of a new procedure for coordinating redevelopment and / or reorganization, because Mountain government. Moscow in October 2011(Resolution No. 508-PP dated October 25, 2011)abolished the restriction that previously renovations related to redevelopment could only be done from Monday to Saturday from 9.00 to 19.00. Now the general procedure applies: all work can be performed on any day from 7.00 to 23.00. On Saturday, you can also do repairs in the apartment. And on Sunday and public holidays - only work not related to the reconstruction - when the main noisy work is associated with the demolition of existing partitions and other structural elements in the apartment.
i.e. in the period from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. construction and repair work can be carried out without restrictions. No one has the right to be held accountable for this, otherwise the actions of neighbors-residents can be regarded as arbitrariness if they interfere with these works.After all, the new regulations do not contain provisions that determine the mode of repair work, including time limits for “noisy work”.
But in any case, we all need to remember that we are now neighbors and let's treat each other with respect and understanding.)))

I assure you - my repair will not be delayed for several years due to the limitation of noise work

Note that I had almost finished the repair and raised this topic. When buying an apartment in a new building, I just planned to patiently listen to the noise of the neighbors who were late with the repair for only the first year. Apparently, this will stretch for many years, with which I actually congratulate you. I rejoice for your landlords, Infanta, may they continue to enrich themselves at your expense.
Noise standards in residential premises
Safe for hearing, the maximum permissible noise level in the apartment is at around 55 dB (day) and 40 dB (night). Anything above 60 dB is at least uncomfortable. And if the technique produces more than 90 dB, then this can lead to very unpleasant consequences for the eardrums. In general, according to noise standards in residential premises, household appliances can be divided into the following groups:
- Up to 40 dB - air conditioners and fans, that is, devices that imply round-the-clock operation in residential premises.
- Up to 55 dB is a technique that is also used around the clock, but in non-residential premises. This includes, for example, refrigerators and freezers.
- Up to 75 dB - household appliances that turn on for a short period of time, but more than one hour, that is, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, hoods, sewing machines and so on.
- Up to 85 dB - devices that turn on for less than an hour - vacuum cleaners, food processors, blenders, mixers, coffee grinders.
- More than 90 dB is a particularly noisy technique, which should be used together with hearing protection. This includes hammer drills, electric drills and other devices for the use of which in the morning you hate your neighbors so much.
The noise level also largely depends on the power of the device. For example, the average system unit of a home computer produces about 40 dB, but this figure can be higher if it has a powerful power supply and a video card.
The real noise of household appliances: who is louder?
Modern household appliances do not always meet the established standards. Although many manufacturers are now trying to make their equipment as silent as possible - for example, breathers (ventilation devices) give out only 19 dB, and split systems - about 35 dB.
The noise level of a refrigerator and even a washing machine of a modern silent model is unlikely to exceed 40 dB, the noise level from a high-quality hood will be within 60 dB. If you call more specific numbers, then it will look something like this:
- Climate technology - 35 dB, up to 27 dB in quiet night mode. Measurement of the noise level of some expensive models shows a level of up to 22 dB.
- Refrigerators - 25-50 dB, average - 40 dB. The high noise level of the refrigerator is a direct consequence of the large capacity, so do not rush to buy the quietest option for larger sizes.
- Washing machines - excellent performance - up to 70 dB in the spin mode, up to 55 dB in the wash mode. In models with direct drive and the use of noise-isolating technologies, which are produced by almost all companies, the noise can be within 50 dB. But most inexpensive washing machines in reality exceed the standard norms by about 5 dB: they wash with a noise of about 60 dB, and wring out at 75-77 dB.
- Vacuum cleaners - up to 80 dB in older models and up to 70 dB in new ones.
Of course, there are more noisy devices, but they belong to the class of garden and construction equipment, not home equipment. So, a lawn mower gives you up to 95 dB, and a hammer drill - from 95 dB or more. Here it is worthwhile to understand that some devices simply cannot help but make noise, and their silent operation indicates a malfunction rather than a high quality.
