Town of Babylon board approves accessory-apartment permits and a series of renewals

The Accessory Apartment Review Board for the Town of Babylon approved three new accessory-apartment permits and a series of renewals at its meeting, with inspectors’ reports on file and voice votes recorded for each item.

The chair opened the meeting, led the pledge and called the roll. Applicant Shamsul Chaudhuri of 309 Woods Road, North Babylon, was sworn, submitted proof-of-residence and an affidavit of posting and confirmed that the accessory apartment is on the first floor with one bedroom and is not currently occupied. The board approved the application after a motion; the chair told Chaudhuri, “You can take down your sign, and expect renewal in 3 years.”

Robert Dalton Nappy appeared next and gave his address; staff noted the property inspection occurred on 01/23/2026 and that the ground-floor, one-bedroom accessory apartment is not occupied. The board approved Nappy’s application by voice vote.

Grace Ocustania of 897 Deer Park Avenue was sworn and presented similar documentation; her first-floor, one-bedroom unit was not occupied and the board approved the application, with staff confirming that the permit will arrive by mail and the renewal interval is three years.

Board staff then presented a sequence of renewals by affidavit. The board approved each renewal by voice vote; items recorded on the public record (as read aloud) included files for Cruz (file 6407), Andrea Ciacchio (8924), Chidori (2559), Napo (2509), Cotone (2498), Issing (3578), Backus (3577), Loiza (917), Bukikyo (3778), Castillo (33291), Haber (6895), Sullivan (5450), Martino (1465), Arif (3974) and Dunninger (3697). For each approved renewal the chair instructed applicants to remove posted signs and noted the three-year renewal cycle.

A reserve-calendar item (Daiko, File 5555 at 81 Feustel Street, Lindenhurst) was presented as a completed garage conversion; staff stated the inspection had been performed and approved and the board voted to approve the item. The board also moved to accept the minutes of March 10 and then adjourned.

The meeting record includes inspection dates entered into the file (for example, Chaudhuri’s inspection on 01/09/2026 and Nappy’s on 01/23/2026) and evidence-of-residence documents such as New York driver’s licenses and utility bills. The board provided standard procedural direction—removal of posted signs after approval and mailed permits—with renewals slated every three years.

No contested votes, formal appeals or requests for continuance were recorded during the session; the remainder of the transcript records informal conversation after adjournment and does not affect the public record.
