The Accessory Apartment Review Board in West Babylon made a decisive move during their March 18 meeting, rejecting an application for an accessory apartment from local resident Paulino. The board's decision stemmed from Paulino's testimony that he does not reside at the property in question, which is a requirement for such applications. Instead, he stated that his son and a friend live there.

Board members quickly moved to deny the application, with a motion made by Harold and seconded by Carrie. The unanimous vote to reject the application highlighted the board's commitment to enforcing occupancy rules. Following the decision, the board instructed the secretary to inform Paulino that he should apply for a rental permit instead of an accessory apartment permit.

In addition to the application discussion, the board opted to table the approval of minutes from the previous meeting due to a lack of a majority present. The next meeting is scheduled for April 8, where further discussions and decisions will take place.
