Village Code Chapter 139 (Noise), Article V (Leaf Blowers), adopted 11-22-2021 by Local Law No. 2-2022 (superseded L.L. No. 1-2006). § 139-10 prohibits internal-combustion leaf blowers year-round with only two narrow cleanup windows: Oct 15 – Dec 15 and Mar 15 – Apr 15, each permitted only Tue–Fri 8 AM – 5:30 PM (non-holiday) and Sat 12 PM – 4 PM. Prohibited at all times Apr 16 – Oct 14 and Dec 16 – Mar 14. Electric blowers allowed year-round unless powered by a gas generator or vehicle (also prohibited under § 139-10(B)).
Enacted: 2021-11-22 In effect since: 2021-11-22
Carve-outs:
Municipal — Municipal emergency operations Schools — School district emergency operations Utilities — Utility companies Storm / extreme weather — 5 days immediately following a storm
§ 139-11 exemptions: utility companies, municipal + school district emergency ops, and 5 days immediately post-storm. § 139-12 penalties: $250–$1,000 fine and/or up to 15 days imprisonment; each violation is a separate offense. Current scope runs roughly 10 months per year of full prohibition with tight-hours cleanup windows; classification remains partial_ban only because two narrow windows remain. Distinct from the neighboring Village of Pelham, which has a much weaker hours-only restriction.
