New Hyde Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 139 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 139-49
Violations
Operative Text
A person upon whom notice has been served, pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, to cut, trim or remove brush, grass, rubbish, weeds or other material present upon such person's land in violation of this chapter and who for five days after service shall neglect or fail to comply with the provisions of such notice, shall be deemed to have violated this chapter.
Under New Hyde Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 139 § 139-49, a property owner who receives an official notice to cut, trim, or remove brush, grass, rubbish, weeds, or similar material from their land has five days to comply. If the required work is not completed within that five-day window, the owner is formally considered to have violated the chapter. The provision establishes the timeline and trigger for a violation finding, rather than setting an immediate penalty upon the initial notice.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to ch. 139 § 139-49 should treat any official notice to address overgrown or accumulated vegetation and debris as time-sensitive, since the five-day compliance window begins upon service of that notice. Compliant operators typically document the date of notice receipt, complete the required cutting, trimming, or removal promptly, and retain records showing the work was done within the allowable period. Keeping the property clear of brush, grass, rubbish, and weeds on an ongoing basis is the most straightforward way to avoid reaching the violation stage described in § 139-49.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants who observe conditions on a property that may implicate ch. 139 § 139-49—such as overgrown weeds, brush, or accumulated rubbish—can report those conditions to the appropriate New Hyde Park municipal authority, which may then initiate the notice process described in the provision. If a landlord fails to address such conditions after receiving official notice, the five-day period established by § 139-49 provides a defined point at which a violation is deemed to have occurred. Tenant-rights organizations and local housing offices can provide general information about how municipal code enforcement processes work and what options may be available.
