1) that they are
required, under both local and state law, to keep their property mowed. All
grass and weeds must be kept under 10” in height. This includes front, sides
and back yards. Tall grass can lead to mice, snakes, bugs and other critters
that aren’t generally welcomed by homeowner’s and neighbors. (I have 35
properties identified as having tall grass as of 5/31).
2) New York Sstate also
mandates that pools that will hold 24” or greater depth of water require
permits and inspections. Both in-ground and above ground pools require a 48”
surrounding fence, special gate latches, alarms, are subject to specific rules
regarding placement on the lot, and the inspection of electrical wiring.
Contact the Code Office for information. While pools can be great fun they also
come with responsibilities and liabilities. We want everyone to stay safe.
3) Do not place
bulky trash, discarded electronics, household furnishings, etc. at the
curbside, store them on open porches, or in your lawn.
It is the homeowner and/or tenants responsibility to have
such items picked up and disposed of properly.
Everyone is outside enjoying the warm weather and no one
wants to look at “junk”, deal with unwanted pests, or see anyone injured in an
unsafe pool installation.
