It is the intention of the Lindenhurst Village
Board pursuant to the Village Law, and all other applicable and successor
laws and rules, to maintain a clean, wholesome, attractive community
and to guard against the creation of nuisances and conditions that
may endanger the health, safety and welfare of Village residents;
spread disease; create fire hazards; reduce the value of property;
interfere with the use and enjoyment of adjoining properties and interfere
with the comfort and well-being of the public.
A portable on demand storage unit (POD) or other
temporary storage facility placed, located or maintained on a sidewalk,
street, roadway or public right-of-way shall be deemed abandoned and
a hazard to the general public, and the Village shall be authorized
to impound such units without notice to the owner or occupier of the
property and/or the owner of the storage unit. Such owners and/or
occupiers shall be jointly and severally liable to the Village in
the sum of $500 for each unit impounded and a storage fee of $20 per
unit for each day, or part thereof, that the unit(s) are stored by
the Village.
