Corner lot fences in Babylon are limited to 2.5 feet (30 inches) within the sight triangle formed by intersecting streets to preserve driver visibility. Violations may be ordered removed immediately.
Babylon Zoning Chapter 213 defines the sight triangle as the area within 25 feet of the intersection of two street lines. Fences, hedges, and landscaping above 30 inches are prohibited in this area. Code Enforcement and Highway Department jointly enforce on all town-maintained roads. NY State roads (Montauk Highway, Sunrise Highway) follow NYSDOT standards with larger triangles.
Immediate correction orders, 250 to 1,000 dollar fines, and possible town removal at owner cost if unsafe.
