Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and contractors managing construction sites in New Hyde Park should be aware that ch. 139 § 139-6 sets specific requirements for site upkeep and portable toilet placement. Compliant operators generally position portable toilets at the front of the lot during early construction phases, then relocate them to the rear once the foundation is capped and backfilled, and maintain the overall site free of debris, litter, and overgrowth throughout the project. If site conditions make strict compliance with the placement rule impractical, operators typically document their circumstances and seek a variance from the Board of Trustees before deviating from the standard requirement.
