Mobile food vending in Babylon is allowed in commercial and industrial zones only, with exceptions for permitted special events and farmers markets. Vending is prohibited within 200 feet of schools during school hours and on residential streets year-round.
Chapter 137 and Chapter 213 together establish the vending geography. Beach concessions at town-operated Cedar, Overlook, and Gilgo State Park require separate concession agreements. Village of Babylon further restricts downtown vending to permitted special events to protect brick-and-mortar merchants. Waterfront events at Argyle Lake often host seasonal food truck festivals permitted under Chapter 91 Assembly permits.
Vending in residential zone: $500 first offense, $1,000 repeat. School buffer violation: $300 and shutdown for the day. No assembly permit for events: $1,000 cease and desist.
