Summer ban on gas-powered leaf blowers. Code §161-2E (Power Equipment): "no person shall cause or permit the operation of any gasoline- or diesel-powered leaf blower equipment at any time during the period each year from July 1 to and including the day after Labor Day" within the residential zoning districts and any area within 50 feet of a residential structure. Base chapter (Chapter 161) also restricts ALL power equipment hours: 8 a.m.–6 p.m. weekdays, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Saturdays, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Sundays/holidays. Village employees and agents are exempt.

Carve-outs:
Municipal — Village employees and agents
Source: codified text at https://ecode360.com/11776922 (Chapter 161, Power Equipment). The seasonal gas-blower prohibition was added as §161-2E by Local Law No. 6-2000 (adopted 2000-05-17); the underlying power-equipment hours chapter dates to 1990 (L.L. No. 11-1990). Tracker recorded the summer window as "June 15 – September 15", which is INCORRECT — the codified dates are July 1 through the day after Labor Day. Verified 2026-05-05.
