I can sympathize. Property rights notwithstanding, living beside a construction site can really stink.

A few years ago, we were looking after a house across the street from the construction of three very large (north of 2500 sq ft) infill houses, and we frequently had problems with construction noise outside of the permitted hours, lots of litter and debris thrown or blown into our yard, and a couple of instances of trespassing which were paired with the former complaints for a double-whammy (e.g., workers unloading ladders onto our driveway at 5:30 AM, and workers eating their lunch on our patio and leaving their garbage in the backyard -- hey, it was the only shade since they cut down all the trees around the construction site, right?).

Ah memories.

Anyway, my advice: read the bylaw that Jeremy linked to, get to know the 311 operator if they violate the rules or your rights, and pour yourself a nice cocktail to help keep the perspective that Jeremy reminded you of: your house was once a construction site too; all things must pass.
