    Eugene's Environmental Noise Disturbance ordinance (Eugene Code 6.750) establishes specific prohibitions on noise-creating activities, including restrictions on vehicle exhausts without mufflers, engine idling exceeding 15 minutes during nighttime hours (10 p.m. to 7 a.m.), and loading/unloading operations during those same hours. The code also regulates construction activities (prohibited 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.), equipment operation such as pile drivers and leaf blowers (prohibited 9 p.m. to 7 a.m., with leaf blowers limited to 70 dBA at 50 feet), and mechanical devices like air conditioning units installed after the ordinance's effective date, which must not exceed 60 dBA at residential property lines. Vehicle spectator sports are exempted when properly licensed and conducted between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., and single-family residences have limited exemptions for brief leaf blower use.

  • Floodplain Ordinance

    Scranton, PA
    Other

    The City of Scranton, Pennsylvania floodplain ordinance (Chapter 445, Article V, § 445-51), amended July 28, 2020, establishes floodplain management requirements intended to promote public health and safety, encourage appropriate construction practices to minimize flood damage, protect water supply and natural drainage, and reduce financial burdens from excessive development in flood-prone areas while complying with federal and state requirements. The ordinance designates the City Planner within the Department of Licensing, Inspections and Permits as the Floodplain Administrator responsible for administering and enforcing the section. Construction or development anywhere within City of Scranton floodplain areas is unlawful without a permit obtained from the Floodplain Administrator. The ordinance supersedes conflicting provisions in identified floodplain areas but does not create liability for the City or its officers for flood damages resulting from reliance on the ordinance or administrative decisions made under it, and acknowledges that floods larger than those used for regulatory purposes may occur.

  • We purchased a severely blighted property in Pottsville

    Pottsville, PA
    Other

    Bobby Weaver, a property owner in Pottsville, PA, describes his experience renovating a severely blighted property using approximately $700,000 in financing from local redevelopment authorities, loans, and grants, but encountered significant obstacles due to code enforcement issues. He identifies three main problems: code officials are risk-averse and poorly educated (requiring only 3 hours of study to become licensed), local officials incorrectly apply the International Building Code instead of Pennsylvania's own Uniform Construction Code, and the confusion between these standards has left his project only half-completed despite engaging 3 architects and 4 lawyers. Weaver proposes legislative solutions to clarify Pennsylvania's existing UCC provisions for historic and uncertified buildings built before 1927, which would provide alternative compliance pathways such as hardwired fire alarms instead of sprinkler systems.
