North Hempstead Councilwoman Christine Liu is increasing efforts to enforce a law against the use of gas-powered leaf blowers, working closely with the town’s Public Safety Commissioner Derek Skuzenski to crack down on their illegal use.
The existing law – passed in 2019 under former Supervisor Judi Bosworth – prohibits commercial landscapers from using gas-powered leaf blowers from June 15 through Sept. 15 annually. Despite this ban, Liu said she still receives calls from constituents that the law is consistently ignored.
