When the activity for which the permit is being sought is not a community-wide or public event, that notification of the application for the permit has been given to each person reasonably expected to be affected by the noise, the content of such notification and the manner in which such notification has been given. The notification shall state to whom the application is being made and that any person objecting to the granting of such permit may contact the individual to whom the application is being made to express his/her opposition to the granting of the permit.

The application shall be made to the Superintendent of Public Works in connection with construction work on public rights-of-way or in parks; for all other construction projects; and for any other events. The issuance of permits shall be discretionary and shall be issued only where the responsible official determines that such permit is reasonable and necessary and will allow an activity that is consistent with the general purposes of this chapter, as stated in § 164-2, provided that no permit shall be issued pursuant to this section for any sound source that will operate between 12:00 midnight and 8:00 a.m. on any day.

The Superintendent of Public Works shall provide the Chief of Police with a copy of any permit issued pursuant to this section.
