[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees
of the Village of Valley Stream 12-20-1993 by L.L. No. 7-1993. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
It shall be unlawful in the Village of Valley
Stream for any person other than the owner to intrude, trespass or
go upon any public or private property, including any bulkhead, jetty
or rock wall, which property or properties have been posted as hereinafter
provided, without the written consent of the owner of such private
property or the public official having charge of any public property,
or to pick any flowers, shrubs or trees upon any public or private
property or mar or deface any public or private building. Failure
by any person to exhibit such written consent to any peace officer
or any Village official or employee shall be presumptive evidence
that he/she has no consent or permission to be upon the property.
Notices or signboards not less than 14 inches
high by 24 inches wide and with letters not less than four inches
high shall be so placed that when in position each notice or signboard
shall not be separated for a distance between signs greater than 200
feet.
Whether or not such property shall have been
posted as hereinabove provided, no persons shall enter or go upon
any lands of the Village of Valley Stream, whether uplands or lands
under water, for the purpose of occupying the same or of erecting
any structure thereon or of removing from such lands any soil, topsoil,
sand or gravel, nor shall any person occupy such lands or erect any
structure thereon or remove therefrom any soil, topsoil, sand or gravel
without first obtaining the consent of the Board of Trustees of the
Village of Valley Stream and without complying in all respects with
the conditions, if any, upon which such consent shall be granted.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prevent any resident of
the Village of Valley Stream from using any Village park or waters
for ordinary public recreational purposes.
[Amended 11-19-2018 by L.L. No. 33-2018]
Any person or persons, firm, company, association,
corporation or business of any kind committing an offense against
