What is a Construction Noise Mitigation Plan (CNMP) in NYC?

A Construction Noise Mitigation Plan (CNMP) is a document required by NYC Local Law 113 that describes how a construction project will limit noise impacts on neighboring residents and businesses. It must be filed with the NYC Department of Buildings before noisy work begins.

When is a noise mitigation plan required for NYC construction?

A CNMP is required for NYC construction projects that will perform work covered by the NYC Noise Code (Local Law 113 of 2005). This typically applies to projects using equipment that exceeds noise thresholds — such as jackhammers, pile drivers, and concrete saws — near residential buildings.

What does a Noise Mitigation Coordinator do?

A Noise Mitigation Coordinator oversees implementation of the CNMP on the job site, monitors noise levels, documents compliance, and coordinates with the DOB if issues arise. Able Safety provides certified noise coordinator training and can prepare your CNMP for NYC DOB submission.

NYC NOISE MITIGATION PLAN

Sites where construction activities take place must clearly post a complete and accurate Construction Noise Mitigation Plan at the site at all times. The plan must follow all the rules outlined in Title 15 of the Rules of the City of New York (RCNY) Chapter 28, linked below under Additional Information. Construction Businesses do not need to file the plan with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP); however, it must be readily accessible to DEP inspectors that examine the construction site.
