Noxious growths
Operative Text
No person shall permit noxious weeds, long grass, dead trees or other rank growths on real property owned by him.
Section 13-3 of Bellport's Code of Ordinances prohibits property owners from allowing noxious weeds, overgrown grass, dead trees, or other rank vegetation to remain on their land. The rule places the responsibility for controlling such growths squarely on the owner of the real property. It applies broadly to any person who holds ownership of real property within the jurisdiction.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Bellport Code ch. 13 § 13-3, compliant property owners generally maintain their land by regularly mowing grass, removing dead trees, and clearing noxious or rank vegetation before it becomes a violation. Routine property inspections and scheduled landscaping help ensure that growths do not reach a prohibited state. Keeping records of maintenance activity can be useful if a question about compliance ever arises.

Section 13-3 of Bellport's Code of Ordinances places the duty to control noxious weeds, long grass, dead trees, and rank growths on the property owner, not the tenant — though lease terms may separately address landscaping responsibilities. If such conditions exist on a rental property and a tenant believes the owner is in violation, options generally include reporting the condition to the local code enforcement or municipal authority in Bellport. Tenant-rights organizations can help clarify how this provision interacts with any lease obligations or habitability concerns.
