Lindenhurst Village Hall Records

Village Hall at 430 South Wellwood Avenue, Lindenhurst, NY 11757 is the center of public records for the village. Mayor Michael A. Lavorata heads the administration. The Village Clerk is Kathleen Schrader, with Deputy Clerk Katherine McCaffrey and Treasurer Louise Schrader also on staff.

The Village Clerk serves as the Records Access Officer under New York's Freedom of Information Law (Public Officers Law Article 6). Any FOIL request for village records goes through this office.

Board of Trustees meeting minutes are public and go back years. They record who attended, what was discussed, and how votes went. Residents who speak at public hearings get named in the minutes, sometimes with their address. These minutes are useful for a phone directory search because they connect real people to specific locations in the village.

The village also keeps records related to local licenses and permits. Dog licenses, vendor permits, and other filings all require an applicant's name and address. Each one is a potential data point. The clerk's office can tell you what records are on file and how to request copies.

Building permit applications are public records. Every time someone applies to build, renovate, or make changes to a property in Lindenhurst, they file paperwork that includes the owner's name, property address, and contractor info. These permits cover everything from new decks to full home additions. The applications sit on file at the Building Department and can be requested through FOIL.

Code enforcement records are another source. When an inspector issues a violation, the notice goes to the property owner by name and address.
