Home occupations in Babylon may not generate customer traffic that disturbs residential character. Most zoning districts limit client visits to a small number per day (often 3-5) and require all parking on-site or in the driveway. Businesses relying on heavy foot traffic (retail, salons with waiting areas) are not permitted as home occupations.
Zoning code typically defines home occupation with explicit limits on customer visits. No exterior evidence of business activity permitted. Deliveries must be standard residential (UPS/FedEx frequency). Commercial delivery vehicles or frequent client parking on the street can trigger complaints. Professional offices (attorney, accountant) by appointment only are most commonly permitted.
Excess traffic/parking violations: fines $250-$2,500 plus potential cease-and-desist for the business activity.
