60 Days in Jail for Overgrown Grass in New York State
WVLA
September 22, 2020
Overgrown lawns are sprouting up in the village of Albany in Livingston Parish.
Officials in the Livingston Parish village say, the tall grass is not only a public nuisance, it’s a crime.
And they’re ready to enforce it.
Village police will be keeping a close eye on the unweildy weeds.
The main targets are empty fields left unkempt by owners.
If the grass gets above eight inches, the resident gets a letter.
From there, unruly land owners could face a fine of up to $500 or up to 60 days in jail.
