Islip permits gas and electric leaf blowers 8 AM to 7 PM weekdays and 9 AM to 6 PM weekends under general noise provisions of Chapter 40. Suffolk County has considered but not enacted a gas-powered ban. Commercial landscapers must use equipment rated under 70 dBA at 50 feet.
Landscaping noise falls under the general noise code rather than a dedicated leaf blower ordinance. Some Islip neighborhoods have pushed for summer weekend restrictions similar to Huntington. Enforcement is complaint-driven by Suffolk County Police. HOAs may impose stricter rules. Contact Islip at (631) 224-5600 for enforcement.
250 dollars first offense, 500 dollars second. Contractors face additional licensing review for repeated violations.
