Town of Babylon Rental Board grants short extensions, approves one renewal
Summary
The Town of Babylon Rental Board voted to give short extensions for corrective work at three rental properties and approved one permit renewal; owners were told to submit photographic proof of repairs. A neighbor raised parking concerns during one hearing.
The Town of Babylon Rental Board on the evening of the meeting granted short extensions for required repairs at three rental properties and approved a renewal for another property, the board’s vice chair said.
Vice Chair Carla Bryant opened the meeting and swore in applicants before hearings. For 54 Tiber Avenue in Deer Park, applicant Dennis Marty agreed to remove debris and cut grass and to provide photographs to the rental office as proof. Pastor Edwin Anthony, an adjacent neighbor, told the board that congregant parking sometimes blocks the walkway used to bring out garbage and to serve a Thursday pantry: “The only problem I have with next door is the parking because we have services on Saturdays and we have a pantry on Thursdays,” he said. Board members explained there is no posted no-parking restriction at that location and recommended the owner and the church coordinate; the board voted to extend compliance to July 22 so the applicant could complete the cleanup.
At 39 Arcadia Avenue in Dix Hills, an attorney representing owner Matthew Inber told the board the owner would address excessive side-yard debris, overgrown weeds and grass; the owner will submit photographs as proof. The board extended the corrective deadline to August 26 and said an in-person appearance would not be required if photos are provided.
The board approved a renewal for 158 Park Avenue in Deer Park after applicant Frank Thomas Caldone agreed to the standard conditions of approval.
At 210 Silver Street in West Babylon, applicant Frances Delisa acknowledged a cracked sidewalk piece, a driveway in need of replacement, deteriorating railroad ties and peeling paint at the roofline. She said she will have the work done and submit photos; the board set a compliance deadline of September 30. Delisa described problems caused by a prior tenant, saying, “I had a very bad tenant in another house,” and the board limited its action to setting conditions and a photo‑verification requirement.
All motions on those items passed by voice vote. In each case the board required photographic evidence to be sent to the rental office before the files would be closed; the board noted it may nullify approvals if later information is shown to be inaccurate.
The meeting record shows no further formal actions on ordinance or policy changes; the board moved on after the public hearing items.
