Grand Island, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 225 § 225-19 establishes rules for how mailboxes must be positioned and maintained in multi-unit or clustered settings. All mailboxes must be consolidated in a single area that allows safe, convenient mail access, and cluster delivery groupings must be placed so that residents and carriers do not need to stop on a public right-of-way. Any grouped mailbox installation is also required to include landscaping around it.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 225-19, property owners and managers overseeing multi-unit properties generally ensure that all mailboxes are consolidated in one designated area that is safely and easily accessible. Cluster mailbox installations are sited off the public right-of-way to avoid traffic hazards, and those grouped installations are accompanied by appropriate landscaping. Operators typically review mailbox placement during any new construction, renovation, or site redesign to confirm these requirements are met.

Section 225-19 of the Grand Island Code establishes that tenants in properties with grouped mailboxes are entitled to a safe, accessible mail area that does not require stopping in a public right-of-way. If a mailbox arrangement appears to violate these standards—such as being poorly located or lacking required landscaping—tenants can document the conditions and raise the concern with Grand Island's local code enforcement or municipal offices. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local housing codes can also help residents understand what options may be available to them.
