CATCH stands for Citizens Against The Construction-noise in Hoboken. This Facebook profile was created to fight the constant and unnecessary noise pollution created during the evening and morning hours of 6pm to 8am. It is strictly against Hoboken ordinance to maintain these noises through the night. Hoboken's ordinance's are very clear with the construction times of 8am to 6pm...this is taken directly from their website --

“All construction and demolition activity, excluding emergency work, is limited to the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on weekdays. No work shall be performed on weekends or federal holidays unless special permission has been granted by a Land Use Board subject to approval of a noise mitigation plan.”
