Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Manorhaven, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 112 § 112-7, property owners and managers are generally expected to keep all owned or controlled premises—whether occupied or vacant—free of litter, rubbish, garbage, and similar waste at all times. Compliant operators typically ensure that waste is placed in appropriate containers or bundled for collection rather than left to accumulate on the property. Owners should also be aware that if brush, trash, rubbish, or weeds are not removed after receiving village notice, the village may perform the removal itself and assess the cost as a lien against the real property, collectible in the same manner as delinquent taxes.

Section 112-7 of Manorhaven's Code of Ordinances ch. 112 gives tenants context for understanding cleanliness obligations that apply to the property where they live, including duties that fall on the owner or person in control of the premises. If a tenant observes that a landlord is allowing rubbish, garbage, or litter to accumulate on the property in violation of this provision, they may consider contacting the Village of Manorhaven directly to report the condition.
