Noise nuisances in Haifa and how the authorities deal with them - a special project of "Hai Pa"

A loud party at Stefan Weiss disturbs the French Carmel - 31.05.2010

On the night of May 31, 2010, a henna party took place on the roof of one of the houses in Stephan Weiss, Ramat Shaul.
The loud music shook walls throughout the neighborhood.
The music was so loud that the children on Tchernihovsky Street, which is about 600 meters away, could not sleep. The camera crew of "Hai Fe" who was on standby went over to check the police's response.
It turns out that the police have limited ability to enforce the noise prevention law, since they do not have a measuring device.
The municipal patrol cannot operate inside residents' homes and thus the small citizen is left exposed without the ability to defend himself against noise nuisances.
It turns out that in regards to the enforcement of noise nuisances, there is a lack of enforcement means available to the authorities.
In addition, a conversation with the police officers shows a clear conclusion that they are convinced that they do not have any enforcement authority and this is how they explained their difficulty to the camera crew.
Food for thought.

The language of the law - noise prevention

The Hazard Prevention Law (1961-XNUMX) prohibits causing unreasonable noise from any source, if it disturbs or is likely to disturb a person nearby or passers-by.

According to the criminal procedure order, the police officer has the authority to impose a fine in the case of unreasonable noise. There is a distinction between the offense sections that require the measurement of noise levels by a professional, who has been trained for this, and the offense sections where the personal impression of the enforcement agent is sufficient.

What is a noise offence?

  • Loud noise - is defined as noise that disturbs a person subjectively. If a police officer arrives at the scene of the accident and decides, based on his discretion, that the noise is indeed loud, he has the option of fining the noisemaker. 
  • Unreasonable noise - is defined as noise that exceeds the standards according to the decibels established in the regulations. Unreasonable noise requires measurement with the appropriate device. The law prohibits causing unreasonable noise from construction equipment, as well as creating noise by means of horns, singing, musical instruments, sound amplifiers, machines, shaking trash cans, etc., in periods of time and in places defined by the regulations.
  • Noise from parties - among the most frequent noise nuisances, we can mention parties in private homes, which have a particularly strong intensity. Strict adherence to party hours is not always sufficient. In order to avoid conflicts, it is recommended to observe several rules: before the party, inform the neighbors in advance about the event. Rest hours must be observed - between 14:00 and 16:00, from 23:00 on weekdays and midnight on the weekend. It is recommended to stand outside the house and check the noise level. Remember that the right to celebrate is not superior to the neighbors' right to rest, peace and quiet. 

What to do when there is a noise nuisance?

You should contact Moked 100, contact the nearest police station and ask for a vehicle to come to the scene or file a complaint against the person making the noise.

  1. Enough of indifference.
    Enough to make noise online
    Come and protest this coming Saturday
    In the grove garden on Cowders Street.

    The residents' protest happening.

    Come and make an impact.

  2. Will the police increase their activity? And the municipal security patrol will also increase its activity?
    Say, as part of the Tigbur, they sit down in the evening to eat in restaurants, for example one on 103 HaGalil Street yesterday,
    This security patrol car was parked next to her for an hour and a half. I wonder what they will overcome, probably their stomachs.
    Two days ago, the same colorful and beautiful security car parked near the Ziv center for half an hour, maybe they went shopping and running errands.
    I saw the hard-working parking inspector of the municipality eating falafel on Hanaviyim Street, in the fifteen minutes I was doing errands there and returning
    He was still sitting chatting with the seller. Apparently there are no parking problems... or in this area they don't register for 'friends'.
    Get over yourself, cops and rangers - the falafel stands and restaurants are calling you!
    And regarding noise nuisances, we have not yet heard whether Haifa has a noise enforcement unit like Tel Aviv, so here is what was done in Tel Aviv:

    [quote="The difference between Tel Aviv and Haifa, pay attention":31vv9ad9]Pay attention to the following article about the noise nuisance prevention unit in Tel Aviv..
    Yes, even in the "entertainment area" - the residents around the Tel Aviv port complain about noise,
    Pay attention to how an orderly municipality operates that also cares about its residents: does not ignore, does not issue idle press releases from speakers -
    A noise enforcement unit, which even measures noise on its own initiative!! that knows how to confiscate equipment and give fines!!

    A quote from the article, and compare to what is happening here and the Haifa municipality that 'refers them to the police':

    Thursday, late night at the entrance to Tel Aviv port. The senses of Moshe Balsenheim, head of the environmental quality unit in the Tel Aviv municipality, are heightened: "Do you hear the bass?" He asks in a determined voice one of the municipal inspectors accompanying him on an enforcement operation against noise nuisances, "We need to find out what business they are from." For more than 15 years, Belsenheim, in his fifties, has held this position in the municipality. He is the person who will decide if a club or pub meets the established noise conditions, and if a business license should be approved for them. Additionally, In his authority to issue enforcement operations to catch, warn and even punish clubs that make noise beyond what is allowed. The guiding rule, explains one of the inspectors, is that the music must not be heard outside the walls of the club. In the operation in the Atarim Square area, in the framework of which equipment was confiscated in five clubs. At the same time, an administrative cease and desist order was issued to the club in the port complex. Also this week, Belsenheim went down to the field as the last of the inspectors and joined his men, equipped with measuring devices. They were accompanied by employees from the Municipal Inspection Division and police officers who issue reports if necessary. The report goes later to the Green Police, which continues the enforcement process. This is the second operation this year that the municipality is conducting against noise nuisances.

  3. If it is possible in the Carmel Castle. Why not in Haifa?

    From an article published in the Haifa News on Friday 2.7.2010/XNUMX/XNUMX

    On the occasion of the summer vacation, the police will increase their activity in order to maintain public order ♦ In the alcohol sector as well, the police hope to restrain those who go on vacation
    XXX The article is copyrighted, so it is forbidden to quote here without express permission from Haifa News. The XXX system

  4. How things connect to things, pay attention to the next party on the 5th
    The same party organizer named Yifat Peled, who we remember from the illegal parties at the surfers' beach
    And the closure of her parties by the surfers and the Haifa municipality and the police, goes to Taltan, of course the information is transmitted directly
    To the legal advisor of the Haifa municipality and the business licensing department.
    That's what they call, a species has found its species. Good luck Yifat. You didn't learn a lesson from the last time.

    And for those whose memory is short miss peled page 18

  5. This difference described in the article and how the issue of noise nuisance is handled in Haifa is symptomatic of all
    The things in which the Haifa municipality is "smeared". To remind us, the municipality of our town boasts some 9000
    And all kinds of certificates and improvement processes, a balanced authority and more... Everything, in the field, on a street where there are noise offenders,
    On the street where a pirate base was built, the restaurants that pay bribes so that a complaint about construction violations "disappear"
    In the archive - after all, we are at the mercy of our fate. Because the traffic offender is the inspector's cousin, and the noise offender -
    His daughter is "close" to the director of the municipality, and the criminal the construction - a friend of his cousin will already be sorted in the archives.
    This is exactly the definition of a banana republic. If you don't enforce the little thing, then you don't enforce it either
    A major construction offense, oiling here, oiling there, that one will fix it, I bought that one in the elections when the clan
    Support him, the one from the wing owes me because his son works for me. When that's the case, it's a loss of control. That's exactly it
    The process to collapse from an orderly city and the rule of law to a third world. Is there an environmental department in the municipality? there is
    Noise inspectors with a decibel meter? Why not authorize one of the "urban patrol" vehicles to take care of it?

  6. If the noise nuisance bothers you
    We invite you to come and protest it.
    You have the opportunity to come and participate in the residents' protest event
    To be held on Saturday, July 10.7.2010, 10, in the grove garden in Baruch Coudres between the hours of 00:12 am and 00:XNUMX noon.
    The protest event is aimed at improving our quality of life in Haifa
    and to create a situation of participation and involvement of the residents in community life and involvement in the construction plans.

  7. Pay attention to the following article about the unit for the prevention of noise nuisance in Tel Aviv..
    Yes, even in the "entertainment area" - the residents around the Tel Aviv port complain about noise,
    Pay attention to how an orderly municipality operates that also cares about its residents: does not ignore, does not issue idle press releases from speakers -
    A noise enforcement unit, which even measures noise on its own initiative!! that knows how to confiscate equipment and give fines!!

  8. [quote="guest":199ix6ar]Now Sunday there is a loud party at Stefan Weiss. I think number 19 or 21
    I notified the police. They said there are more complaints and the car is on the way, but the noise has been going on for a long time. What will happen to these nuisances
    There is no law and no justice
    We hear it from Tschernihovsky.
    Good thing you called the police.
    It is very strong

  9. Now Sunday there is a loud party at Stephan Weiss.
    I think number 19 or 21
    I notified the police
    They said there are more complaints and the car is on the way, but the noise has been going on for a long time
    What will happen to these nuisances
    There is no law and no justice

  10. On Saturday, July 10.7.10, 10, the happening of the residents of Ramat Shaul and Carmel Sharfati in the Cowders Garden between the hours of 00:12 and 00:XNUMX.]

    All the residents who care about this city, who want a quality of life, a municipality that cares for the citizens (we are the ones who vote in the elections in the end and choose them...) and not just for a handful of capitalists, are invited to come to the big event and let everyone be heard.

    Many people and many bodies will be there.

    Come, be happy!!

  11. Instead of making noise online
    Climb the mountain. You will reach Ramat Shaul.
    And join the happening of the residents of the French Harchmel against the municipality of Haifa.
    Put a stand there. Entry is free….
    You will be able to explain your position to the public and the media that will be there.
    It's the simplest. It is the most effective.
    Be creative, come and demonstrate a presence against the Haifa municipality that does nothing against the noise and alcohol culture.

  12. [quote="guest":lyoyld87]And I repeat my idea that I think will work most effectively:

    Take advantage of the Kalvet Shabbat events at the port campus. bring bobozolas, zamboros and horns, stand from the windows and make noise that will disturb
    For the music events - until the municipality takes care of the noise nuisance. This is the only way they will understand that there is a nuisance called noise that can act bidirectionally..

    This is the solution.

  13. The last comments posted here sound like a bad joke

    It is clear to everyone that they are responses on behalf of Telatan College

    Hypocrisy is written on the forehead

    The whole "Robin-Indian" segment that claims to "protect" the students and help them "be happy" - Ya-Habibi
    What a low level - go open a club in the alcohol valley
    I can't believe that anyone in their right mind would want to go to study in this place (after the parties are over and the alcohol fumes have subsided)

  14. All these invited comments are for "taste". howled a mess.
    XXX has been deleted. We will not allow defamation on the site. XXX facts must be brought.
    Why does one's consent to delusional building plans correspond to consent to loud parties.
    There is a law in the country if there is a business without a license they will be closed.
    If you make too much noise. to be closed

  15. Dear Haifaites

    I thought I knew you, but every time I discover new heights of mirth and pettiness.

    Are all the glorified fighters for justice in the lower city (as a resident of Bat Galim, unfortunately I have yet to encounter someone who actually lives in the lower city, but I am happy to find out that there are some) aware that other people also have needs? Or are they only interested in watching TV in silence and that's it..

    Do you really have no interest in young people living here? And yes, they will also hang out, drink, listen to loud music... on weekends, you don't have to every day, although if there was nightlife here every day, this city would really be a city worth living in.

    It seems that the old men of Haifa are getting bored, or it's just envy and hatred towards beautiful young people - in the spirit of Yoram Kaniuk's book "Aitim and scoundrels".

    Nightlife is the beating heart of a modern city, and young people are the blood that flows through its veins, just as urban development requires the building of houses in certain places, so the center of a city requires other uses, besides residences - and yes, clubs too.

    Why is there always a feeling here that too many Haifaites think that the good old Mapai still rules the city? That the municipality can just shut down parties like that, and that everyone has to go to bed at 22:00 p.m. - because they get up in the morning to work at the port?

    Most of today's young people have a hard time finding a job, let alone finding something to do in this city.

    And in general, if all the whiners cared about something besides their private territory, and the "value of their apartment" and their bank account, and their peace, then we would see here a better, more sensitive, attentive, tolerant, solidary society.

    Everyone complains about some poor guy celebrating a birthday, or a college student who wants to create a life in the abandoned downtown. Everyone jumps when their private space is "threatened", and never get bothered or complain about the fact that people are murdered, cyclists are run over to death in the streets, there are no sidewalks on the city roads, there is no public transportation on weekends and at night at all (as of today there is one every hour...) No, women are raped Every day, violence rages in the streets, young people have no opportunity to buy an apartment, city workers are unable to make ends meet, the food industry is poisoning us all and the private car is destroying the planet.

    But the main thing is that they don't make us any noise.

    There is another way, there is such a thing called "community", which is based on social consent, mutual respect. Everyone and every group has their own needs, if everyone gives up a little now and then, everyone will benefit. We'll pick up the dogs' poop, before returning - on the bus, we'll get up, we'll help the elderly in the building if he needs us, we'll babysit the neighbors' kids for free (we don't have a job anyway) and once a week, on Friday, we'll have a party on the roof.

    And by the way, if it wasn't clear, you are all welcome.

    Oh.. and there are also earplugs

  16. Why doesn't Yona Yahav make his voice clear on this issue?

    Does the concept of "capital-rule" apply in this case as well?

    Isn't it time to silence the noise?

    Only by opposing noise, demonstrations, raising broad public awareness can something be done.
    To all the complainers: stop being "nice kids". Make your physical voice heard.
