Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 § 124-19 establishes that both the exterior grounds and the interior of every structure must be kept clear of accumulated rubbish or garbage. The rule applies to owners, persons in charge, and occupants alike, meaning responsibility for compliance is shared among all parties connected to a property. Anyone who fails or refuses to meet this standard is considered in violation of the chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 124 § 124-19, compliant property owners and managers generally maintain regular waste-removal schedules, ensure trash receptacles are adequate and properly managed, and address any buildup of rubbish or garbage on both the exterior grounds and interior spaces of their properties. Because the provision holds owners directly accountable alongside occupants, operators typically include clear waste-disposal obligations in lease agreements and conduct periodic property inspections. Documenting these maintenance efforts can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with the chapter.

Ch. 124 § 124-19 places responsibility for keeping spaces free of rubbish and garbage on occupants as well as owners, meaning tenants share an obligation to maintain their units and any areas under their control. If a tenant believes a landlord or property manager is allowing rubbish or garbage to accumulate in shared or exterior areas, they may consider reporting the condition to the Town of Huntington's code enforcement office, which oversees compliance with this chapter. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Huntington's local ordinances can help residents understand what options are generally available when violations are observed.
