Neighbors told the board the house has generated sustained traffic, multiple out-of-state vehicles and behavior they described as resembling a commercial car-repair or short-term turnover operation rather than ordinary family rental activity. Ovidio Adam, who said he lives on the same street, told the board, “They start to park the cars against the traffic on the wrong side … it's very dangerous.” Tricia Dunston, who lives directly across the street, said “it's non stop” and that “there's police activity” and a pattern of people coming and going that has curtailed children’s outdoor play.

The board heard from several neighbors during the hearing, including Olga Calbee and Kurt Hector, who echoed concerns that multiple vehicles and frequent visitors made the cul-de-sac unsafe for children and impaired residents’ quality of life. Benjamin Hampton, who lives across from the property, said, “They tend to park all along the side … They park in front of my mailbox, leave it there all night.” Multiple speakers described seeing as many as eight or nine cars at the property on busy nights.

Applicant Dhruva Visas told the board he lives in Queens and did not have a local Suffolk County property manager on file; the board said a local contact is required. Visas acknowledged previous occupants had been renting rooms but told the board the tenants had moved out “already a month ago.” The applicant also acknowledged some items raised by the board inspection: questions about a gazebo permit and large areas of pavers in the rear yard.

Board member Marie Adesi moved to deny the permit application; the motion was seconded and the board approved the motion, denying the application. The board explained the denial by citing the volume of neighbor complaints, absence of a local property manager, and unresolved exterior and safety issues. The board instructed the applicant to address a set of exterior corrections — including removing excess paving or obtaining proper permits, addressing debris and trash, resolving any unpermitted structures and ensuring a local property manager is listed — before reapplying.

Board chair Sal Mangano and other members told the applicant they expected the property owner or a Suffolk County property manager to be reachable by neighbors and town inspectors if problems recur. Mangano warned that if the board later found the owner had returned to the prior pattern of occupancy, “you won't ever get a permit.” The board did not record individual roll-call votes in the public portion of the transcript; the motion carried by voice vote.

The denial is an enforcement action under the town's rental-permit terms and conditions; the board advised neighbors to contact Town of Babylon Citizen Services to report future problems so inspectors can follow up. The applicant was given no specific rehearing date and was told to resolve the items cited by inspectors before submitting another application.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Town of Babylon Rental Board Meeting - September 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Town of Babylon Rental Board voted to deny a rental permit application for 3939 Arcadia Drive in Deer Park after neighbors described persistent parking, traffic and property-maintenance issues and said the owner was unresponsive.","taxTitle","Town of Babylon, Suffolk County, New York","taxId",52789,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5979767,"Babylon rental board grants several permits and extends others, repeatedly requiring driveway, debris removal and local property managers",322,179000,501000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5810911-6f7c56dd937a3ac336d9c0a06194c11a&start=179&end=501","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5810911-6f7c56dd937a3ac336d9c0a06194c11a/thumbnail_179000.jpg","/articles/5979767/Town-of-Babylon/Suffolk-County/New-York/Babylon-rental-board-grants-several-permits-and-extends-others-repeatedly-requiring-driveway-debris-removal-and-local-property-managers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5979767-519721fff53191fbb99fa882be03fd64/orig.mp4?Expires=1776698930&Signature=SZ05j3vG6bH-obCVJ-pCzJ2wDEI4Jr~rCaxIDeZhhYNpzQl5rYVGL4u2vZq7dhVbf~59fi4n9be1Yb0zR~9Otb~Al2ILOSxK2q2VXQGmDEFPxSa06-sdK6qeCeM1rIeM78x4FdFdFaKZSIcSqpGkvGlEom569SskvbaBQE5N2fXUSQDhGU4ffCGKaYTZZ9byY1M-SDyXuOAjiOyeRERrQMnLDZE7e45W3VJkU8w3DwkpsrjTTA17zJjZn~J3BJVMrXgP8xuloq7mNBoO-t2BmiKN~KpLpQGze7QmzEbkJcAklkIIyk4T1jLlAY0GZ8zp5ZiZgB3jnjxnOl7ubXW8LA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Babylon Rental Board handled a mix of permit approvals, renewals and extensions at its Feb. 2025 meeting, approving several applications while extending others and imposing uniform exterior and management conditions.
The board approved a new two‑family permit for 125 West Second Street in Deer Park; Christopher Flug, the applicant, swore in and the board voted to approve the permit after no objections. The board also granted permits for 115 Lakeway Drive and 447 Old Country Road after routine inspections produced no outstanding objections.
At multiple hearings the board required landlords to replace or repave driveways with “concrete or pavement” (blacktop), remove debris, repair or paint stoop railings, replace or repair walkways, and address accessory structures that lack permits. Mark Smith, speaking during several hearings, enumerated the typical exterior items: “you need to install that...you need to install a new driveway apron...remove all debris...replace the rear walkway,” and asked applicants to provide photos to town inspectors once repairs are complete.
The board frequently extended permits or renewals to Oct. 29 to allow owners time to complete the work. Examples include 253 Beachview Street in Copiague (owner Eddie Maiorino was told to install a driveway of solid surfacing, secure railings, remove debris and replace a rear walkway), 63 Andrews Avenue in Wheely Heights (owner Richard Hubert was told to repair or remove a front fence and install a new driveway), and 71 Claremont Avenue in North Babylon (owner Robert Polozato said a contractor would replace the driveway the coming Friday).
Board members reiterated management requirements in at least one hearing: owners who live out of county must appoint a local property manager who resides in Suffolk County and can respond to neighbors’ concerns. Sal Mangano and other members noted the requirement multiple times when applicants lived in Queens or outside Suffolk County.
For three properties — 25 Leadbrook/Veil Brook, 9 West Smith and 163 East Booker — hearings were not held because required public‑notice signs were not posted at the properties; the board adjourned those specific items and said they would be reheard later when proper notice is posted.
Why it matters: The board used the permit renewal and approval process to enforce consistent exterior‑maintenance and local contact requirements, tying future occupancy authorizations to physical repairs and local management. The Oct. 29 compliance deadline applied to many owners, creating a near‑term schedule for inspections and potential enforcement.
Next steps: Owners were instructed to notify the rental office and send photos to staff (contact: rental office inspector Kerry) after repairs; the board said inspectors will verify work and that failure to comply could lead to permit denial at a future hearing.
","At the Town of Babylon Rental Board meeting, members approved some renewal permits and postponed or extended others to Oct. 29 with common compliance orders — replace driveways with blacktop or concrete, remove debris, secure railings, repair walkways and, in some cases, require a Suffolk County property manager.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":44,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":50,"_51":93,"_53":94,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":95,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":96,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5979772,"Rental board denies permit for 39 Arcadia Drive after neighbors report overcrowding, traffic and debris",811,1320000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5810911-6f7c56dd937a3ac336d9c0a06194c11a&start=509&end=1320","/articles/5979772/Town-of-Babylon/Suffolk-County/New-York/Rental-board-denies-permit-for-39-Arcadia-Drive-after-neighbors-report-overcrowding-traffic-and-debris","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5979772-fea799406ba1fc80c98424f57f0da988/orig.mp4?Expires=1776698930&Signature=JWl0BSMoFax1ydBmvdxASqRZDXXJhytBV2Wa9ZY8TrMdVsAnYwX~-lSBp6GASAPPSNVzxqIXsCMwyfhpTvUNe2eM5-BtPOzeWmlON5Yi41URJ-bYIPwBNOhuF~0-GQR8NKReNbkmA5npCJESYXuHjRshHYu08nhlIsbkZyKf9HsWCuvNuhClZ~fh5rM3IXpb016BAAVTd~mc~Mcg8Qsaogi4rhy01OWueOwUt1mvvMY2uQgTVc0TovLBztYUzUMcYgHijNNcyNaTI0XZbzLD6vBnaWQBXrfjMlGfj4uJY8v-vE9uuZKNmwmd5dtghC3oEF4ZH2nj0aAfXzP6hO6U7w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Babylon Rental Board on Feb. 2025 denied a rental permit for 39 Arcadia Drive in Deer Park after neighbors and board members raised repeated quality-of-life concerns, including heavy vehicle traffic, unlicensed vehicles, debris and apparent transient occupancy.
Board Chair Sal Mangano, addressing the applicant, said the board would not issue the permit “before you reapply” until required corrections were completed, and told the applicant the board expects a local contact in Suffolk County for compliance and complaints.
The denial followed multiple neighbors’ accounts during the public-comment portion. Ovidio Adam, who said he lives on the same street, told the board that after the property changed hands “they start to throw garbage on the street” and that cars were parked “against the traffic on the wrong side” in the cul-de-sac, creating safety concerns. Tricia Dunston, who lives directly across, said the site frequently has “8 to 9 cars” and people “hanging out around the cars,” and that the pattern has prevented children from riding bikes and made the street feel unsafe. Olga Calbee, a next-door neighbor, said she had observed “different people coming and going” and worried the house “looked like a hotel.”
Board members listed specific exterior and management deficiencies the applicant must fix before another application will be considered. The board said the landlord must appoint a property manager who lives in Suffolk County so neighbors have a local contact, replace or repair the driveway and apron, remove a gazebo or obtain necessary permits for it, remedy extensive pavers in the backyard or restore grass, and otherwise bring the property up to Town of Babylon standards for a single‑family or legal two‑family home.
The applicant, identified in the hearing as Dhruva Visas, told the board that tenants who had been present “moved out already a month ago” and said he would review the issues. He also said he has a property manager, Ronald Tavares, listed on the application. During board discussion the applicant acknowledged he had not visited the property recently and said he would inspect it.
Board action: A motion to deny the permit was made and seconded; the chair announced the permit was denied after an affirmative vote. The board recorded that the applicant would need to address the listed exterior and management issues and that any future permit application must show compliance. The board warned that if the property returns to the previously described use, “you won't ever get a permit.”
Why it matters: Neighbors described sustained disruption to a residential cul‑de‑sac they said had been safe for children and families, and the board used the permit process to require property management and exterior repairs as preconditions for permitting. The denial places the property on a path to reinspection and possible reapplication if the owner demonstrates the cited corrections have been completed.
Next steps: The board set no specific reapplication date in the meeting minutes; neighbors were advised to contact Town of Babylon Citizen Services to report violations and to request inspections. The board said inspectors will return to verify exterior work and compliance if and when the owner reapplies.
