Owner asks Town of Babylon to lift occupancy covenants on two West Babylon duplexes
Summary
Nevada Street Properties Inc. requested relief from owner‑occupancy covenants for two duplexes on Teddy Place, saying the units had been used as sober houses by Destiny Village and that the owner seeks to restore family occupancy. The board closed the hearing and reserved its decision.
At the Town Board meeting Dec. 3, a representative for Nevada Street Properties Inc. asked the board to lift owner‑occupancy covenant restrictions affecting two duplexes on Teddy Place, off the Sunrise Highway Service Road in West Babylon.
The representative, identified in the transcript as "Mr. Glass," told the board the two side‑by‑side duplexes had, "for years, been sober houses," and said those operations — run by an organization he named Destiny Village — "were wreaking, havoc in the community, resulting in multiple litigations." He said the owner seeks relief from the covenant's owner‑occupancy requirement to return the properties to family use.
Supervisor and board members praised the work the representative said had been done to restore control of the properties. The board heard no public comment on the item and, by motion, closed the public hearing and reserved decision for a later date.
The transcript records the request and the allegation about prior sober‑house operations; it does not include evidence presented in the hearing to substantiate the litigation claims. The board took no final vote on covenant relief at the Dec. 3 meeting.
