Noise
It's important be aware of the New Orleans Noise Ordinance, which restricts noise levels above conversation level (60 dB) from being heard in a neighbor's home and prohibits amplified noise between 9 p.m. and 10 a.m. Sunday–Thursday, and between 10:30 p.m. and 10 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. This law applies to homes with shared walls or property lines. Keep in mind that your neighbors include families, elderly residents, and those with various work schedules. Compliance with these regulations ensures a peaceful community environment for everyone. More details are available in the Off-Campus Living Guide and you can review the complete code here.
Trash
Maintaining a consistent trash schedule is not only important for a clean environment but also for fostering a harmonious neighborhood. Ensuring your trash and recycling bins are placed out for collection between 4 p.m. the day before and 6 a.m. on collection day is a key step. Once the collection is complete, promptly remove your bins from the curb and any public areas by 7 p.m. on collection day. This helps keep our streets clear and accessible. Additionally, make sure you bag and secure your trash, break down boxes for recycling, and ensure the lids to all receptacles can close before placing the receptacles on the curb. Following these steps ensures compliance with the city's regulations and demonstrate your respect for the community.
