House-Painting Ordinance Is Effective
One hundred ninety-one houses in Freeport were
painted in one year after notice to the prop-erty
owners under the Village ordinance that
requires exterior painting of houses.
Mayor William H. White said a report from the
Building Department showed that the Village
ordinance has been very effective. "We know
that we cannot legislate aesthetics," Mayor
White said, "but under this ordinance we are
making it clear to property owners that their
buildings cannot be allowed to deteriorate
from lack of paint.
"An unpainted building is really sub-standard,
Girl Scouts Get Together
and we must take every possible step to pre-vent
such sore spots in a neighborhood. I am
glad to say that there are very few cases
where we did not get good cooperation from
property owners, and of course we allow a rea-sonable
time for home owners to have the neces-sary
painting done."
Under this Village ordinance, owners of houses
and other buildings that are not inherently re-sistant
to deterioration are required to peri-odically
paint the exterior wood surfaces so
that the structure will be deemed sound and
habitable.

New Rental Ordinance Strictly Enforced
Superintendent of Buildings Louis Bello reported
that the new rental housing ordinance is being
strictly enforced by his inspectors, inasmuch as
the deadline for applying for permits was Sep-tember
*fth.
He urged all owners of rental property to imme-diately
contact the Building Department and ob-tain
an application for a rental permit. Sum-monses
are being issued to anyone who rents one
or more houses or apartments and does not have
a rental permit.
Mayor William H. White said the purpose of the
new law is to assure compliance with all Village
building and zoning codes, particularly those
covering the number of persons or families per-mitted
in a particular house or dwelling. It
is also designed to protect tenants against sub-standard
living conditions by having the Build-ing
Department verify that all rental premises
are clean, safe, in sanitary condition, in prop-er
repair, and free from rodents or vermin.
Under the new housing ordinance, no permit will
be issued for any rental unit unless it has first
been inspected by the Building Department. Writ-ten
into the ordinance are specific minimum pen-
Public Meeting Dates
The regular schedule of public meetings of the
Village Board resumes in October. Public meet-ings
are held on the first and third Monday of
each month except on a holiday or eve of a hol-iday.
Public meetings begin at 9:00 P.M., at Village
Hall, kb No. Ocean Avenue. In addition, to the
public meetings, the Village Board meets in ex-ecutive
session at least once each week during
the entire year. \
alties. For failure to obtain a rental permit
or failure to notify the Superintendent of Build-ings
of any change in tenancy the fine will be
not less than $100 and up to $250 or 15 days in
jail for each violation.
"Our Code Enforcement and Building Department
programs have helped considerably in elimina-ting
over-occupancy situations and other ille-gal
residential uses," Mayor White said, "and
now this new licensing ordinance will give our
enforcement personnel another effective tool."
Application forms for rental permits are.avail-able
at the Building Department, Municipal Build-ing,
'tS No. Ocean Avenue, Freeport, New York.
The landlord's license fee to be paid to the
Building Department for a two year period will
be 820.00 for renting a one-family dwelling.
For buildings with more than one family, the
fee will be $20.00 for the first dwelling unit
and $*uOO for each additional dwelling unit,
and S't.OO whenever a turn-over occurs in ten-ants.
In the case of a two-family house in
which the owner lives, the fee will be one-half
the regular fee.
Public Notice
As required by state law, advertisements are
published in newspapers to give the public due
notice of proposed changes in village law, zon-ing
and building code amendments, bid proposals,
and other official matters. For the first six
months of this fiscal year the Village of Free-port
legal notices were published in the Long
Island Kernel. For the next six months, October,
• November and December 1973, and January, Febru-ary
and March of 19Vt, they will appear in the
Freeport Leader.
Grass And Weeds Must Be Cut
The Freeport Village-Board has amended the Code
of Ordinances .Sec. 10-1. Weeds, brush, rubbish,
rubble; removal regulated:
(a) No owner of any real property within the
village, or agent of such owner, shall permit
rubbish or rubble to accumulate thereon, nor
shall said owner or agent permit uncut grass,
weeds, brush or any portion of said growth to
attain a height in excess of eight (8) inches.
(b) The village clerk is hereby empowered to
notify, in writing, the owner of any such prop-erty,
to cut, trim or remove said grass, weeds,
brush, rubbish or rubble. Such notice shall be
by mail addressed to said owner at said owner's
last known address.
(c) Upon failure to comply with the terms of
such notice within five (5) days of the date
said notice is postmarked, the village or its
agents may cut, trim, or remove said grass,
weeds, brush, rubbish or rubble and assess the
cost therefor upon the real property
How To Dispose Of Fallen Leaves
In addition to the regular Wednesday trash pick-up,
the bagged leaf collection program, which
was instituted last year by the Village, will be
in effect again this fall. Through the cooper-ation
of the property owners the Highway Depart-ment
was able to collect more leaves than in
prior years and at a reduced cost, Edwin Prefer,
Superintendent of Public Works reported. This
additional weekly pickup of bagged leaves elim-inates
unsightly piles of leaves in the gutter
which could cause flooding and be dangerous for
children at play, prevents leaves from blowing
back on your property or your neighbors', and
facilitates pick-ups.
If the leaves are bagged, the Village forces
expect to be able to pick up an unlimited
amount at each home in accordance with the fol-lowing
schedule:
MONDAY - Northwest - Sunrise Highway north to
the Village Line, North Main Street
west to the Village Line.
TUESDAY - Southeast - Sunrise Highway south to
the Village Line, South Grove Street
east to the Village Line.
THURSDAY - Northeast - Sunrise Highway north to
the Village Line, North Main Street
east to the Village Line.
FRIDAY - Southwest - Sunrise Highway south to
the Village Line, South Grove Street
west to the Village Line.
This program will be carried out by the Highway
Department personnel using packer trucks. The
Sanitation Department will also pick up bagged
leaves on Wednesdays, not exceeding four bags
per home.
Extra large and heavy duty plastic bags may be
purchased at Village Hall at a minimal cost of
10 bags for one dollar.
The pickup of the bagged leaves is expected to
start the last week in October. The starting
date will be published in the local:newspapers.
If any other information is required, please
call the Highway Department, at FR.8 - 'tOOO,
ext. 22^.
These excellent plastic bags are sold at Village Hall, 10 for $1.00, and they are very helpful in
disposing of leaves, grass clippings and burnable trash of all kinds. They are large size bags,
double the garbage can size, and constructed of heavy duty plastic. The Village purchased these
bags in large-quantities and resells them at cost to Village residents. To keep Freeport clean,
use these and other containers for disposal of trash. Do not put loose trash on the curb area.
Keep everything tied and bundled neatly to avoid scattering by wind, dogs, or children. Set an
example in your neighbood.
