Noise from Alarms

Fingal County Council does not maintain a database of key holder contact details or security codes for alarm systems, either private or commercial.

Fingal County Council staff are not empowered to:

• Enter any property to disable an activated intruder alarm
• Isolate any electrical supply to an activated intruder alarm
• Release ownership, occupancy or any other contact details in respect of a property

It is the responsibility of property owners and occupiers to ensure that:

• Alarm systems are maintained serviceable
• Appropriate response mechanisms are in place in the event of activation (occupiers may advise local Gardaí of relevant contact details if they wish)

Guidance on the prevention of noise nuisance from intruder alarms is set out in the attached document guidance sheet here.
