 In short, your neighbour can’t make a noise that disrupts the peaceful enjoyment of a lot (if you have that by-law) at any time, night or day. That’s why there’s no time stipulated – it apples 24/7.

I’ve seen this advice given here often, and it seems remarkably unhelpful. It is totally unrealistic that strata occupants can NEVER make noise in their apartments if there is a valid reason (eg. renovations). If it makes no difference when the work occurs as you are indicating, does that mean the OP should also complain even if the work was occurring at 2pm on a workday? Where do we make allowances for give and take and acceptance of short term inconveniences, and the realities of modern day living?
