It shall be unlawful for any peddler or solicitor in plying his or her trade to ring the bell or knock upon or enter any building whereon there is painted or otherwise affixed or displayed to public view any sign containing any or all of the following words: "No Peddlers," "No Solicitors," "No Agents" or other wording, the purpose of which purports to prohibit peddling or soliciting on the premises.

Full Breakdown
The Town of Babylon licenses peddlers and solicitors through the Town Clerk and layers on two blanket protections for residents: Town Code § 167-15 confines door-to-door approaches to 9:00 a.m. until dusk (30 minutes before sunset) absent an invitation, and § 167-16 makes it unlawful for any licensed peddler or solicitor to ring a bell, knock, or enter a building posted with a 'No Peddlers,' 'No Solicitors' or 'No Agents' sign. Enforcement runs through the Suffolk County Police Department and the Town's Division of Public Safety, and any violation is also grounds for the Town Clerk to revoke the offender's peddling license after notice and a hearing.
Violations & Fines
Ignoring a posted sign or the 9 a.m.-to-dusk window is a violation of Ch. 167, enforceable as an offense under the Town's general penalty provisions and separate grounds for the Town Clerk to revoke the peddler's license.
