Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, it shall be unlawful to engage in or to cause or permit any person to engage in construction work other than on weekdays between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. A person may however perform construction work in connection with the alteration or repair of an existing [one] 1- or [two family] 2-family owner-occupied dwelling classified in occupancy group J-3 or a convent or rectory on Saturdays and Sundays between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. provided that such dwelling is located more than 300 feet from a house of worship. For the purposes of this section, the term construction work includes the removal of construction debris including rubbish, waste, discarded material, or the remains of something broken down, demolished, or destroyed.

§ 2. This local law takes effect 120 days after it becomes law.
