Huntington property owners must maintain property free of combustible vegetation near structures. Town Code Chapter 156 (Property Maintenance) requires removal of dead brush, and NY DEC regulates larger-scale brush disposal.
Chapter 156 of the Town Code requires property to be maintained in a safe condition, which includes clearing dead vegetation that poses a fire hazard. Huntington is largely suburban with wooded residential areas, particularly in Cold Spring Harbor, Lloyd Harbor, and Fort Salonga. Property owners should maintain defensible space around homes especially near wooded parcels. Brush must be disposed of via Town residential waste collection or the Town Resource Recovery Agency; burning of brush is tightly restricted (see outdoor burning).
Property maintenance violations can result in notices of violation, fines, and Town abatement with lien on property.
