The village board has banned the hanging of laundry on front lawns, making it a violation punishable by up to $1,000 and 15 days in jail.
Some residents say they never realized it was a problem.
"The whole time I've been here, I've never seen that. That's a surprise," said Martha Curtis.
But village officials say it was becoming a problem, and next they'll take up another growing problem - living room couches on front porches.
"I've never seen couches on front porches," Curtis told WCBS 880 Long Island Bureau Chief Mike Xirinachs. "This is funny to me."
