Commercial vehicles over 10,000 lbs GVW or with commercial lettering cannot be parked on Babylon residential streets or in residential driveways overnight, per Town Code 191-14. One lettered pickup or van under 10,000 lbs is permitted in a driveway.
The ordinance mirrors typical Long Island suburban restrictions, targeting tractor-trailers, dump trucks, and landscaping trucks with dumping trailers. Exceptions exist for active loading or emergency service calls. Home-based contractors often rent yard space in Babylon's industrial zones (e.g., along Route 109 and the LIRR corridor) to comply. Commercial trailers, including utility and equipment trailers, cannot be stored on residential lots regardless of weight.
First offense: $250 plus tow. Second: $500. Third within 12 months: $1,000 and possible impoundment of vehicle.
