It shall be unlawful to conduct any sale of
personal property or real property at a public auction, with or without
a license, except between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., nor
shall any personal property of whatever kind or description be brought
into any premises within the Village for the purpose of sale or exposure
for sale at any public auction.
All sales of personal property and real property
at a public auction shall be conducted indoors, that is, within the
premises whereat the sale is advertised. Every article of personal
property sold by public auction shall, if practicable, be removed
by sunset on the day of such sale, or no later than the following
day. No personal property shall be displayed or sold at or near the
front entrance of the premises where the sale is intended to be conducted,
on the front lawn or front portion of said premises or upon any Village
property or sidewalk.
The Village Board may waive the payment of a
license fee for the issuance of a license for the conduct of a sale
by public auction which has as its objective the solicitation of funds,
gifts or contributions for charitable, religious, educational, Village
or Russell Gardens Association purposes, provided that a license is
duly applied for, notwithstanding that an exemption may be granted
in the applicant's favor.
Nothing herein contained shall affect, limit
or curtail the right of private sale of property, real or personal,
which sale does not otherwise conflict with the provisions of this
Article.
The person to whom such license is issued and
the owner or tenant of the premises on which such sale or activity
is conducted shall be jointly and severally responsible for the maintenance
of good order and decorum on the premises during all hours of such
sale or activity. No such person shall permit any loud or boisterous
conduct on said premises nor permit vehicles to impede the passage
of traffic on any roads or streets in the area of such premises. All
such persons shall obey the orders of any member of the Nassau County
Police Department or the Fire Department in order to maintain the
public health, safety and welfare.
