Fishkill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 106-24
Screening requirements
Operative Text
All service and/or storage facilities as described in this article shall be appropriately and attractively screened in accordance with a plan approved by the Town Board and shall be so maintained.
Section 106-24 of Fishkill's Code of Ordinances requires that any service and storage facilities covered under Chapter 106 be screened in a way that is both functional and visually appropriate, following a plan that the Town Board has reviewed and approved. The screening must also be kept in good condition on an ongoing basis. This rule applies to the facilities themselves, not to any particular party, and governs both the initial installation and the continued upkeep of the screening.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 106-24, property owners and managers operating service or storage facilities in Fishkill are generally expected to obtain Town Board approval for a screening plan before installation and to ensure that the screening remains attractive and well-maintained over time. Compliant operators typically document the approved plan, implement it as specified, and conduct regular inspections to catch any deterioration. Keeping records of Town Board approval and maintenance activities can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.

Section 106-24 gives residents a basis to note whether service or storage facilities at their rental property are screened in accordance with a Town Board-approved plan and kept in good repair. If screening appears absent, unapproved, or poorly maintained, tenants may raise the issue with Fishkill's local code enforcement or planning office, which oversees compliance with Chapter 106. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local municipal codes can help explain what options may be available when a potential violation of § 106-24 is observed.
