Harmonious Living Amendment Act of 2024

The Harmonious Living Amendment Act of 2024 requires the Construction Codes Coordinating Board to set soundproofing standards for new residential buildings in noisy areas by 2026 and mandates that owners disclose potential noise levels to buyers or renters starting in 2026. To help mitigate existing noise issues, the bill directs the Mayor to create a grant program for soundproofing upgrades in qualifying homes and entertainment venues by late 2026. Additionally, the act requires the Office of Cable Television, Film, Music, and Entertainment to provide acoustic shells for certain performances, install digital decibel signs, and allow residents to submit noise complaints through the 311 system.
