Northern Babylon hamlets (Wyandanch, Deer Park) border the Long Island Central Pine Barrens, a designated wildfire-prone ecosystem. No formal WUI overlay zone exists, but Fire Marshal encourages defensible space and ember-resistant construction in these areas.
The Central Pine Barrens Joint Planning and Policy Commission coordinates fire management across 102,500 acres in Suffolk County. The 1995 Sunrise Wildfires burned portions of this area. Babylon properties adjacent to preserved pine barrens face elevated risk. No specific building code overlay applies, but NY State Fire Code Chapter 49 (Requirements for Wildland-Urban Interface) may be adopted locally in future updates.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
