Islip residents may post No Soliciting signs at their door to invoke trespass protections. Chapter 72 permits solicitors only between 9 AM and sunset (or 8 PM). Ignoring posted No Soliciting signs elevates to trespass under NY Penal Law 140.05.
Chapter 72 establishes permissible solicitation hours (typically 9 AM to sunset or 8 PM). Residents posting clear No Soliciting or No Trespassing signs at entrances put solicitors on notice. Continuing to approach after such notice is criminal trespass 3rd degree under NY PL 140.10. Town maintains no official Do Not Knock registry, but sign posting accomplishes the same purpose legally. Religious/political canvassers also must respect posted signs per Watchtower v. Stratton dicta.
Ignoring No Soliciting sign: trespass citation, 250 dollars fine. Soliciting outside hours: 100-500 dollars.
