  I seem to doubt that anyone there at 9pm was making _that_ much noise.

Per the sfgov site :

http://www.sfgov.org/site/rentboard_page.asp?id=55846

"Problems with noisy neighbors can be difficult to resolve and the  
standard for what constitutes excessive noise may be highly  
subjective. For example, volume levels for stereos or televisions that  
are within the legal noise limits may still seem excessive to some  
individuals. Dispute resolution services can sometimes be helpful in  
resolving such noise problems."

That being said, according to building construction permits and laws  
(Attaching the PDF FAQ), building construction can occur between 7am  
and 8pm, 7 days including holidays. Work done before or after can't  
exceed 5 db

If we are really concerned about her, we need to stop generating  
excessive (+5db at the property edge) noise after 8pm
