REMINDERS
The new LKA Monthly Maintenance Payment coupon booklet for fiscal year 2024/2025 has been mailed out to residents and should be used with your September payment.
If you participate in DIRECT WITHDRAWAL the new amount will be automatically deducted from your bank account on file. If you are sending payment through your online banking you will need to adjust the amount and make sure you have the correct payee mailing address which is 710 Whiskey Road, Ridge, NY 11961. If you mail your payments, please use the new payment coupons, and note the payment address is 710 Whiskey Road, Ridge, NY 11961. Residents may also drop off their payment. There is a drop box located at the entrance to the Administration Office.
Please note that the payment address has been changed from a PO Box to 710 Whiskey Road some months ago. The PO Box will be discontinued and will no longer accept payments. In order to avoid late charges PLEASE CHECK THE PAYMENT ADDRESS before sending in your payment.
There will be a luncheon on Thursday, August 8th to honor those residents who are 90 years old and over. If you have not received an invitation and would like to attend or if you need transportation to the Recreation Center, please call the office at 631-744- 6000.
Inflatable pool floats are not permissible in the pool as they can block the view of the lifeguards. Noodle sling chairs will be permitted.
Feeding wildlife is not allowed in Leisure Knoll and is against the law in Suffolk County and New York State.
The Suffolk County Resolution 621-2020 states, in part, that “no person shall purposely or knowingly feed, bait, or in any manner provide access to food to any wild animal in Suffolk County”. Section 5 goes on to state that “The feeding of wild birds, except nuisance birds and waterfowl shall be permitted outdoors, provided that such feeding does not create an unreasonable disturbance that affects the rights of surrounding property owners and renders other persons insecure in the use of their property”.
Excessive dropping accumulation or the attraction of rodents may be considered an unreasonable disturbance on surrounding property owners”.
Please read the attached article about Wildlife Health from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
