Description
Excessive road construction noise near 25 Penniman Rd Road construction began at approximately 7:30 AM on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, immediately adjacent to the residential buildings near 25 Penniman Rd, Boston, MA 02134. The noise has been extremely loud inside my residence. I recorded the construction activity on video and also made a continuous six-minute sound-level recording using a phone sound meter application. The application indicated an average sound level of approximately 100 dBA and a maximum of approximately 110 dBA during the recording. I understand that a consumer smartphone application is not a calibrated enforcement sound-level meter, so I am providing these measurements as supporting evidence rather than claiming them to be an official measurement. Given the extremely high indicated sound levels and the proximity of the work to residences, I am requesting that the City investigate the construction noise and verify whether the contractor and equipment comply with Boston’s applicable construction/roadwork noise regulations, including the applicable 86 dBA construction equipment limit. I have video and screen-recording evidence documenting the construction activity, time, duration, and measured sound levels.
