Business units
Operative Text
Business units, as defined in this chapter, shall at all times be maintained in compliance with the provisions of this chapter regulating open spaces and buildings or structures. A. No outside storage or accumulation of garbage, crates, rubbish, refuse or debris shall be permitted at any time, and all such garbage, crates, rubbish, refuse or debris shall be kept inside the building or buildings on the premises or in an acceptable enclosure and shall be regularly collected and removed from the premises. B. No shopping baskets, carts or wagons shall be left unattended or standing in open areas and shall be regularly collected by the occupant of such unit and removed to the interior of the building or buildings. C. No mobile refrigeration unit shall be operated on the premises after the closing of the business conducted thereon unless such mobile refrigeration unit is electrically operated. D. No truck or other vehicle shall be loaded or unloaded outside the confines of the building or buildings on the premises before 6:00 a.m. or after the business conducted on the premises has been closed to the public in such a manner as to cause excessive noise or disturbance to the adjoining properties. E. All fences and perimeter plantings installed on the premises shall be maintained by the owner of the property. Damaged or destroyed perimeter planting or fencing shall be replaced within 10 days with planting or fencing of similar size, grade and quality. The provisions of this section are subject, nevertheless, to § 139-35 of this chapter. F. All business units must be conducted within the confines of a building.
New Hyde Park Code of Ordinances ch. 139 § 139-40 establishes a set of ongoing maintenance and operational standards for business units as defined in the chapter. It prohibits outdoor storage of garbage, debris, and similar materials; requires shopping carts and wagons to be kept inside; restricts noisy loading and unloading to business hours; limits after-hours operation of non-electric mobile refrigeration units; and mandates that fences and perimeter plantings be kept in good repair and replaced within 10 days if damaged. All business activity must be conducted within an enclosed building, and these requirements apply continuously, not just during inspections.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers overseeing business units subject to § 139-40 of the New Hyde Park Code generally keep all waste materials in interior storage or an approved enclosure and arrange for regular removal. Compliant operators ensure that shopping carts are retrieved from open areas, that any mobile refrigeration units running after closing hours are electrically powered, and that truck loading and unloading does not occur outside the building before 6:00 a.m. or after closing in a way that creates excessive noise. Owners are also responsible for maintaining fences and perimeter plantings, and for replacing any damaged or destroyed elements within the 10-day window specified in § 139-40(E).
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Businesses and occupants operating within units covered by § 139-40 of the New Hyde Park Code have a defined set of rights and responsibilities regarding how the space and its surroundings are used. If neighboring properties or community members observe ongoing violations—such as outdoor debris accumulation, after-hours noise from loading, or neglected perimeter fencing—those concerns can generally be raised with the local code enforcement or municipal authority responsible for enforcing ch. 139. Tenants or occupants who believe a landlord's failure to maintain fences or plantings as required by § 139-40(E) is affecting their use of the premises may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource to understand available options.
