Great Neck Plaza Code of Ordinances ch. 124 § 124-48 establishes two related sanitation requirements for residential properties. First, all properties must use adequate sanitary facilities and methods when collecting, storing, handling, and disposing of garbage and refuse. Second, in multiple dwellings, hotels, and specialized senior housing facilities, garbage and refuse may not be stored or allowed to accumulate in public halls, stairways, or incinerator enclosures.

Under § 124-48, operators of multiple dwellings, hotels, and specialized senior housing facilities in Great Neck Plaza generally maintain proper sanitary containers and designated disposal areas that keep garbage and refuse out of shared spaces such as hallways, stairwells, and incinerator enclosures. Compliant operators typically establish regular collection schedules and ensure that any storage areas used for refuse meet sanitary standards. Keeping common areas clear of accumulated waste is a core component of meeting the obligations set out in this provision.
