Where

Poquatuck Hall
1160 Village Lane, Orient, NY, 11957

Event Type

The town code includes regulations about many things that affect us including short-term rentals; building size and construction, noise; our visible environment including signs, lighting and dark skies; RV, trailer and boat storage; landscaping and dumpsters. Code enforcement (or lack of it) often comes up in our community meetings. It impacts many of the things that recent surveys say we value. Learn how code enforcement works and some ways it might be improved, and your role in ensuring compliance and enforcement.

Presenter: Margaret Steinbugler is vice-president of the Southold Peconic Civic Association. Prior to her retirement she was Director, of Materials/Structures at Pratt & Whitney. She holds BS in Engineering and MS in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering degrees from Princeton University.
