Hi Sam

I can see why you're asking. 

It's a pretty obvious question, but it's not anywhere on the 
building department's site.

Venice is part of the City of Los Angeles.

You may want to simply call the West L.A. Office. 

Good luck

This is the answer that I had removed:

According to the LA County Code construction can begin at 7:00 a.m. 

From the Los Angeles County Public Works Construction Category
(FAQ):

Question: 

“The noise from construction near my house seems excessive. What are
the laws pertaining to the allowable levels and operating hours?”

ANSWER: 

“Construction noise is covered by Chapter 12.08.440 in Title 12 of the
County Codes. Most construction must take place between 7:00 a.m. and
7:00 p.m. during normal weekdays. However, emergency repairs may be
performed as necessary.”

Los Angeles County Public Works

From the Los Angeles County Code:

12.08.440 Construction noise

“A. Operating or causing the operation of any tools or equipment used
in construction, drilling, repair, alteration or demolition work

Sundays or holidays, such that the sound therefrom creates a noise
disturbance across a residential or commercial real-property line,
except for emergency work of public service utilities or by variance
issued by the health officer is prohibited.”
