Nassau County towns enforce weed ordinances through the same property maintenance codes that govern grass height, typically prohibiting noxious weeds over 10 inches tall. State DEC invasive species rules (6 NYCRR Part 575) also apply to listed invasive plants like Japanese knotweed and mile-a-minute weed.
Town property maintenance codes (Hempstead Ch. 169, North Hempstead, Oyster Bay) prohibit rank vegetation, noxious weeds, and overgrowth. Enforcement parallels grass height: complaint or inspection, notice of violation, cure period, fine or town-performed cleanup. State DEC regulates 126 species as prohibited or regulated invasives. Ragweed and poison ivy are common complaint triggers in Nassau suburban neighborhoods.
$100-$1,000 per violation plus town cleanup costs. DEC invasive species violations can add $250-$5,000 per violation.
