Under Mineola, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 300 § 300-47, compliant property operators ensure that any refrigerator or locking appliance being disposed of or stored outdoors has its locking hardware or door hinges fully removed before it is left in an area reachable by children. Operators also keep open areas of their properties clear of junked vehicles, equipment, and materials. Routine property inspections can help identify and address these conditions before a violation is issued.
