The Town of Babylon board approved multiple accessory-apartment permits during a routine meeting, granting applicants permission to operate accessory dwelling units and accepting the April 14, 2026 minutes before adjourning.
Resident and applicant Anthony Nicci, who said he lives at 79 Monarch Avenue in West Babylon, testified under oath and provided a driver’s license, proof of posting and inspection documentation (inspection dated 1/16/26). Nicci told the board his accessory apartment is on the first floor, contains two bedrooms and is not currently occupied. The board moved to approve his application; the board indicated Nicci should expect his permit in a couple of weeks and that renewal will occur in three years. "I've been there since 2003," Nicci said when asked how long he had lived at the address.
