Are multi-family dwellings analyzed for impacts and considered for abatement?
All sensitive receptors, including multi-family dwellings are analyzed for noise impacts and if impacts are identified, then they are considered for abatement. The measurement location should be at the area of frequent human outdoor use. This can be difficult to determine and is best determined with a site visit. There may be locations where the balconies are used by the residents and thus should be the area of frequent human use. Other times there will be a communal outdoor area of frequent human use, such as a grill area, picnic tables, or playground. This could also be used as the measurement location.
