Home Improvements
If you are thinking about doing ANYTHING to your home – inside or out – It would be well advised to make a phone call to or stop by the Building Department. This should be one of your first priorities. After all, permits are required to insure your safety as well as insure compliance with Building Codes.
Pool Season
Please remember pools are potential death traps, especially for little kids. Any pool that is 24 inches or more in depth (which includes residential in ground pools, above ground pools, inflatable pools, hot tubs, spas and even fixed wading pools) requires a building permit and must comply with New York State Building Codes and the Town of Mamakating Codes.
Premises Identification
Please remember your approved address number (Your 911 #) should be placed in a position to be plainly legible and visible from the street or road fronting the property. These numbers shall contrast with the background. Address numbers shall be Arabic numerals or alphabet letters. Numbers shall be a minimum of 4 inches high with a minimum stroke width of .5 inch.
