Babylon does not impose a specific annual night cap on STRs but zoning restrictions in most residential districts effectively limit or prohibit transient use. Ch 153 rental permit applies to all rentals regardless of duration.
Town of Babylon Code does not contain a specific annual night cap like NYC Local Law 18. However, Town Code Chapter 213 zoning restricts transient occupancy (stays under 30 days) in most residential zones, functioning as a de facto prohibition on frequent short-term use in many neighborhoods. Long-term rentals (30+ days) are permitted with Ch 153 rental occupancy permit. Commercial transient lodging (hotels/motels) requires specific B-zone zoning.
Zoning violation for transient use in residential zone: 250-1000 dollars per day Ch 213. Cumulative enforcement can lead to injunction.
