Noxious growths
Operative Text
Heavy undergrowth and accumulations of plant growth which are noxious or detrimental to health shall be eliminated. Any trees or portions thereof located on private property and constituting a hazard to persons or property shall be removed. A. New bamboo prohibited. Upon the effective date of this chapter, planting or installing bamboo shall be prohibited within the Village of Manorhaven. Any person who shall thereafter plant, install, or cause or permit the planting or installing of bamboo within the Village shall be deemed to be in violation of this section and shall be subject to the penalties set forth hereunder. B. Existing bamboo regulated. Any bamboo which has been planted, installed or otherwise permitted to grow in any property within the Village of Manorhaven prior to the effective date of this chapter may remain on such property, subject to compliance with this chapter. Property owners shall be responsible to ensure that preexisting bamboo does not encroach or grow upon any adjoining or neighboring property or properties, including all public property and rights-of-way held by the Village, and shall be required to take such reasonable measures to prevent such bamboo from invading or growing onto adjoining or neighboring properties. Such measures shall include installation of sheathing comprised of metal or other material impenetrable by bamboo at a sufficient depth within the property line or lines where the bamboo is planted or is growing to prevent the growth of encroachment upon adjoining or neighboring property by said bamboo. C. Replanting prohibited. Preexisting bamboo may not be replanted or replaced in kind once such bamboo is or has become, for any reason, dead, destroyed, uprooted or otherwise removed. D. Each day that a violation of this chapter continues shall constitute a separate offense.
Manorhaven, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 112 § 112-18 requires that heavy or noxious plant growth and hazardous trees on private property be removed. As of the chapter's effective date, planting new bamboo anywhere in the Village is prohibited. Bamboo that existed before the chapter took effect may stay, but property owners must prevent it from spreading onto neighboring land or public rights-of-way, typically by installing impenetrable sheathing along property lines; once existing bamboo dies or is removed, it cannot be replanted. Each day a violation continues counts as a separate offense.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 112-18, compliant property owners in Manorhaven routinely inspect their lots for noxious undergrowth, hazardous trees, and any bamboo that may be creeping toward neighboring parcels or public rights-of-way. Operators with pre-existing bamboo generally maintain barrier sheathing made of metal or similarly impenetrable material at adequate depth along relevant property lines to satisfy the encroachment-prevention requirement. Because each day of non-compliance constitutes a separate offense under this section, prompt corrective action when a problem is identified is a hallmark of responsible property management.
