It’s not enough to control what we put in our bodies or how much of it. Nanny Bloomberg also had to decide just how loud we can be … down to the last decibel. Bloomberg’s Local Law 113 of 2005 affected a broad range of industries and supposedly, “establishes a flexible, yet enforceable noise code that responds to the need for peace and quiet while maintaining New York's reputation as the "city that never sleeps."
Bloomberg’s new noise code lets police officers and others crack down on offenders by letting them use their own ears in most cases to judge what constitutes excessive noise.
The legislation contained 45 pages of painstaking detail to control NYC noise, singling out everything from how long dogs can bark to how loud construction sites can be.
NYC children might miss the iconic Mister Softee Ice Cream trucks as they pass down their block which were banned from playing their signature tune.
Around the corner, Emily Vasquez, grandmother, Puerto Rican and very proud New Yorker, sits in a lawn chair on Avenue D and East Seventh Street. She is not very happy with her city's billionaire mayor just now. "Bloomberg, tell you the truth, he belongs in an insane asylum," she said. "What does he know about noise? He lives in a mansion." –Emily Vasquez, NYC Resident
