East Haven Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. V § 10-96 establishes that vibration originating on a property generally may not travel beyond that property's lot lines during nighttime hours, specifically between 8:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. The only recognized exception covers vibration that is an unavoidable byproduct of legally permitted construction, demolition, or blasting activities. This rule applies regardless of the source of the vibration, whether mechanical, industrial, or otherwise.

Under East Haven Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. V § 10-96, property owners and managers operating equipment or machinery that generates vibration are generally expected to ensure that such vibration does not cross lot lines during the restricted nighttime window of 8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. Compliant operators typically schedule vibration-producing activities for daytime hours or take steps to dampen or contain vibration on-site. When construction, demolition, or blasting is involved, operators generally confirm that the work is legally permitted before relying on the exception this provision provides.
