Babylon Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 269 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 269-14
Garbage and refuse
Operative Text
Adequate sanitary facilities and methods shall be used for the collection, storage, handling and disposal of garbage and refuse.
Section 269-14 of Babylon Village's Code of Ordinances requires that garbage and refuse at rental properties be collected, stored, handled, and disposed of using adequate sanitary facilities and methods. The rule sets a baseline standard of cleanliness and hygiene for waste management without specifying a single prescribed method. Any approach used must meet the threshold of being genuinely 'adequate' and sanitary in practice.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 269 § 269-14, compliant property operators generally ensure that waste receptacles are properly maintained, that refuse is stored in a manner that prevents odors, pests, and spillage, and that disposal occurs through approved sanitary means. Operators typically document their waste management practices and inspect storage areas regularly to confirm ongoing compliance. Selecting containers, schedules, and disposal services that meet local sanitation standards is a common way to satisfy this provision.

Section 269-14 gives tenants a basis to expect that their rental property will be equipped with adequate sanitary facilities for garbage and refuse management. If waste storage or disposal conditions at a property appear to fall below a sanitary standard, tenants may raise this provision when reporting concerns to Babylon Village code enforcement authorities. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local housing codes can help residents understand what options are generally available when sanitation conditions are in dispute.
