Residential noise and apartment living regulations

Overview

In Croatia, the Law on Noise Protection establishes specific decibel limits for residential zones during day, evening, and night periods. Permitted levels are set at 35 decibels during the day and 25 decibels at night. Residents may report excessive noise from neighbors or building installations, such as air conditioning or elevators, to the State Inspectorate or sanitary inspection.

Additionally, ground-floor apartments present specific practical considerations. While they offer easier access for renovations and moving furniture, they may face thermal efficiency issues, such as cold floors if unheated spaces like garages are located underneath. Residents are advised to monitor for moisture and mold, especially at external walls and floor-wall joints.
