A message from your MBPOA Board of Directors regarding Grouper Laws
|
It has come to the attention of your Board of Directors that some homes have been rented to what is known as "Groupers." This basically means that there are too many unrelated people staying in a house.
East Hampton Town has "Grouper Laws" that do not permit more than four unrelated people to rent a house. A rented house may not have more then four cars parked at it. Grouping is one way to pay the rent. Shares are quite often sold to nonrelated people.
Hither Hills is zoned single family dwellings. This is to help protect our water supply from overusage and the return of septic to the aquifer. When you have large numbers of people in one house the draw down of the water and the return of waste are out of proportion. This is not good for the environment or the surrounding neighbors' wells.
If you think you have Groupers, or more than one family occupying a rental home in your area, please notify East Hampton Code Enforcement and have them look into it. It is against the Town Code to have more than four unrelated people living in one house or more than four cars parked at a rented house.
Call Code Enforcement at 631-324-3858 and report the violation that you saw and be sure to ask for a customer complaint number for your records. Hither Hills is a great area for everyone. To keep it that way do the right thing and call.
Your Board of Directors
