Great Neck Plaza, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 124-50
Findings
Operative Text
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Great Neck Plaza hereby finds that owners of multiple dwellings, hotels or specialized senior housing facilities are likely to install garbage compactors. The Board of Trustees, therefore, finds that it is desirable and necessary to establish requirements to govern the nature, installation and operation of these garbage compactors.
Section 124-50 of Great Neck Plaza's Code of Ordinances establishes the legislative rationale behind the village's garbage compactor rules. The Board of Trustees determined that owners of multiple dwellings, hotels, and specialized senior housing facilities are likely to use garbage compactors, making it necessary to set standards for how those devices are designed, installed, and operated. This section serves as the foundational 'findings' clause that justifies the regulatory requirements that follow in Chapter 124.
Plain English — not legal advice.
As the findings clause under § 124-50 makes clear, the village specifically anticipated that operators of multi-unit residential buildings, hotels, and senior housing facilities would be subject to garbage compactor regulations. Compliant property managers generally familiarize themselves with the full scope of Chapter 124 to understand what standards apply to the nature, installation, and operation of any compactor on their premises. Staying current with these requirements helps ensure that equipment decisions align with the village's established framework.
