Davis street piano hours?

The Davis street piano has a laminated paper sign saying you can play it from 9 am to 9 pm.

Is that an official rule, or did some random person make the sign? There are no hours listed here, even though other listings do have time restrictions.

Having some limit does make sense, since people live above Tedeschi's, etc. But 9 pm is ridiculous. I think a more reasonable end time for such a busy location would be 11 pm or midnight. What does the city noise ordinance say about street musicians and other noise at night?

heh, the folks responsible for enforcing that should should come hang out on my street some summer night. i wish they would ticket the guys with the mega bass in their trunk, sitting parked while it thumps through two or three songs -- at 11:30 pm, on a weeknight, when most of the street is already in bed because they have to get up at 5:30 am...

you could call 311 or 911 and ask that enforcement be sent.
