Prerequisites
You are significantly affected by construction noise or dust from a nearby construction site.
Documents required
- In your complaint, describe precisely what kind of disruption is occurring. State as precisely as possible when and where it is occurring (e.g., "for two weeks, daily from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., at the construction site at Musterstraße 10").
Please note
There are legal regulations to limit emissions from construction sites (e.g., construction noise and dust). Work may only be carried out at certain times, and measures must be taken to control dust. If you file a complaint, the responsible authority will investigate whether these regulations are being complied with.
The Office for Building Regulations and Civil Engineering is responsible for the safe operation of construction sites and pollution control. These include:
- Control and monitoring of occupational safety for employees on construction sites
- Control and monitoring of pedestrian safety
- Control and monitoring of emissions protection for passers-by (e.g. construction noise and dust)
- Advice and information for all those involved in the construction
Deadlines
- There is no general deadline for filing a complaint about construction noise or dust.
- The sooner you submit your complaint, the faster the responsible authority can examine the situation and intervene if necessary.
- Noise-intensive construction work is prohibited on working days between 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. and is only permitted with a special permit.
