Whether we are talking about Whatsapp groups, discussions in front of the stairs or right at the door of the apartment, one of the most discussed topics between neighbors is the quiet hour in the block. Of course, these dialogues do not appear "out of the blue", but only after one of the parties ignores the needs of the other and disturbs her with loud music or various activities that involve high noise intensity. That is why, by reading the article below, you will understand how to be good neighbors and maintain civilized relations with all your neighbors regardless of the activity you do.

And one of the most important considerations has to do with keeping quiet hours in the block. The corresponding concept is used quite often, but not many know what exactly it entails from a legal point of view. Going through the following lines, you will find out!

What are the quiet hours in the block and at home?

According to the Romanian police, "Law 61/1991 on the sanctioning of actions violating certain rules of social coexistence, public order and peace, criminalizes (...) disturbing the peace of tenants between 10:00 p.m. - 08:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m." - 2.00 p.m., by any person, by causing sounds, noise or by using any device, object or musical instrument with high intensity, in the premises or seats of legal entities, in the homes of natural persons or in any other place in buildings intended for housing or located in the immediate vicinity of them'.

The same law also criminalizes the organization of private parties and the use of high-intensity musical equipment, in tents, other arrangements or in an open space located in the perimeter near the buildings. In other words, from a legal point of view, it is prohibited to use any of the devices listed above in the specified intervals, more precisely at night, respectively during the time intended for rest after lunch. This information will help you stay out of trouble with the authorities and be 100% "covered" in case a more zealous neighbor calls the police because they are disturbed outside of the specified intervals.

Quiet time on the block (or at home) is a concept that has been found to bring harmony, both literally and figuratively, between all the people who live in the same space. Even if, from a productivity perspective, you want the work you are doing or for which you have hired a specialized team to be done as quickly as possible, it is important to consider the needs of others, because the roles could be reversed as soon as possible. In conclusion, respect is a daily thing when it comes to living in a block and any activity in the field of renovation and repairs must be subject to social norms.
