A Residential Knox Box is defined as a small, wall-mounted safe that holds keys to a building or home to be utilized by the fire department, emergency medical services, and sometimes the police department to ensure quick access to a building or residence. Residential Knox Boxes reduce forced entry that may cause property damage and ultimately provides residents with a back-up plan during a crisis.

Please contact the East Hampton Village Fire Marshal’s office at 631-324-0763, for answers to your Knox Box questions.

A filled-out Demolition Permit Application must be accompanied by a shut off letter from the gas and electric companies along with a complete asbestos survey if built prior to 1974.

As rain or melting snow flows over roads, driveways and lawns, it can pick up pollutants like motor oil, fertilizers, litter and pet waste. This “stormwater” that is not absorbed and filtered by the ground is not treated and usually flows into a storm drain system or directly into nearby waterbodies. This becomes stormwater pollution and can be harmful to aquatic life and create human health risks.

The Village of East Hampton is noted for its beautiful trees. This is the result of a public-private tree program that is over a hundred years old. The Department of Public Works partners with the Ladies Village Improvement Society (LVIS) in taking care of trees in public areas of the Village including maintaining, removing, and replacing trees. In the event a tree must be removed, the Department of Public Works consults with the LVIS Tree Committee and an independent arborist before tree removal is approved.
