The State Duma told about the amount of fines for noise at night

The amount of fines for violating the silence regime at night varies depending on the region of Russia. This was announced on January 28 by Sergey Kolunov, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Construction and Housing and Communal Services.

"Both the rules themselves and the punishment for violating them, for violating the silence regime, are set by the regions. So, in Moscow, for noise at the wrong time, a fine of 1 to 2 thousand rubles is threatened for individuals, from 4 to 8 thousand rubles for officials, from 40 to 80 thousand rubles for legal entities. Each region has its own figures," he said in an interview with TASS.

In the Moscow region, the amounts range from 1 to 3 thousand rubles for citizens, from 5 to 10 thousand rubles for officials and from 20 to 50 thousand rubles for organizations. If the violation is repeated during the year, the fines increase.

Kolunov noted that the regions have the right to set "quiet hours" on their own, based on local characteristics, but the general rule for everyone is a ban on noise at night and the need to observe a "quiet hour" during the day, usually from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. He also pointed out the need to contact the police to fix violations.

"Employees are required to come, record the fact of the violation and conduct a preventive conversation, as well as draw up a protocol. In cases of repeated violations of the law on silence, a fine will be imposed. You can also contact the management company, but most likely they will also refer the residents to the police or call a squad on their own," he said.

In Moscow, it is forbidden to make noise from 23:00 to 7:00, and in the Moscow region — on weekdays from 21:00 to 8:00, on weekends and holidays from 22:00 to 10:00. The deputy stressed that the violation of silence remains one of the most common problems in apartment buildings.
