Short-term rentals in Islip are subject to Town Code Chapter 40 (Noise Control), which prohibits unreasonable noise between 10 PM and 7 AM. Rental permit holders are responsible for tenant conduct and may face permit revocation for repeated noise complaints.
Chapter 40 establishes dBA-based and plainly-audible standards for residential districts with stricter limits during nighttime hours. Under Chapter 52 rental permit conditions, the owner or designated managing agent must respond to noise complaints and tenant disturbances. Repeated substantiated complaints can lead to permit non-renewal. Fire Island communities have additional quiet-hour rules tied to ferry schedules and pedestrian-only districts.
Noise violations can result in fines up to 1,000 dollars per offense. Three or more substantiated complaints within a permit period can trigger permit revocation proceedings.
