City To Prevent Weekend Construction at Waterfront with Court Order
A developer building a large corporate building by the water has asked the city for a noise waiver, in order to be able to construct on Saturdays.
After the city issued a stop order on Saturday morning, it will now file a motion in court this week to prevent Saturday construction at 225 River St., the administration announced on Monday.
The city will ask the court to allow the construction at 225 River St., only if a noise waiver and a noise mitigation plan is approved by the Hoboken City Council, the city announced.Â
