Village-wide prohibition on gas / diesel / similar-fueled leaf blowers June 15–September 15. Electric blowers permitted year-round, subject to general hours-of-use rules.
Enacted: 2021-01-19 In effect since: 2021-01-19
The Village leaf-blower regulatory framework spans two chapters: (1) Chapter 391-2 ("Prohibited Noises Enumerated") — the residential framework permitting blower operation Mon-Fri 8 a.m.-7 p.m., Sat/Sun/holidays 9 a.m.-7 p.m., per Village news page at https://www.greatneckvillage.org/news_detail_T2_R444.php; the seasonal fuel-source restriction described in scope (June 15-Sep 15) lives here. (2) Chapter 357-6 (Landscaping and Gardening Regulations) — most recently amended by Local Law 1 of 2021, adopted 2021-01-19 by the Village Board of Trustees, which restricts COMMERCIAL landscaping/gardening to weekdays 8 a.m. – 7 p.m. only (no Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays for commercial work). The 2021 commercial-hours amendment did NOT change the residential framework. enacted_date pinned to 2021-01-19 reflects the most recent legislative action; the underlying seasonal fuel-source provision is older and the precise adoption date was not surfaced. Verified 2026-05-05.
