Codified at Town Code §380-7(I). Most recent amendment: Town Board unanimously approved a new leaf-blower law on 2023-05-16 (https://www.greenburghny.com/CivicAlerts.asp?AID=2004&ARC=2396), focused on noise levels — 75 dBA cap, simultaneous-blower limits (one on parcels ≤10,000 sq ft, four on any size parcel), and hours grid (8 a.m.-8 p.m. weekdays, 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Sat/holidays, 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Sun).
