Outside storage
Operative Text
A. In nonresidential districts, all storage shall be within enclosed buildings or effectively screened from view by plantings or screening as per § 310-5.17 of the Fallsburg Zoning Law. B. In residential zones, all storage for a continuous period exceeding 15 days shall be effectively screened from view. However, the storage of functional items such as children's play structures, bicycles and outside lawn furniture shall be exempt from this provision. C. The outdoor storage of tires shall be prohibited.
Fallsburg Code ch. 218 § 218-9 establishes rules for outdoor storage that vary by zoning district. In nonresidential areas, stored items must be kept inside enclosed buildings or hidden from view through plantings or screening consistent with the Fallsburg Zoning Law. In residential zones, any storage left outside for more than 15 consecutive days must be screened from view, though functional items like children's play structures, bicycles, and outdoor lawn furniture are exempt from that requirement. Outdoor tire storage is prohibited in all zones.

Property owners and managers operating under Fallsburg Code ch. 218 § 218-9 generally ensure that storage areas in nonresidential districts are either fully enclosed or shielded by compliant plantings or screening. In residential rental properties, operators typically monitor outdoor storage to confirm that items remaining outside beyond 15 days are adequately screened, while recognizing that functional items such as bicycles and lawn furniture do not trigger the screening requirement. Compliant operators also ensure that no tires are stored outdoors on any property they manage, regardless of zoning district.

Under Fallsburg Code ch. 218 § 218-9, tenants in residential zones have the right to keep functional outdoor items like bicycles, children's play structures, and lawn furniture outside without being required to screen them from view. If a landlord or municipality raises a concern about outdoor storage, tenants can reference the exemptions listed in § 218-9 as part of their response. Tenants who have questions about how this provision applies to their building or who believe it is being enforced inconsistently may wish to consult a local tenant-rights organization or contact the relevant Fallsburg municipal office for clarification.
