Too Many People, Too Many Times

The owner of a house at 49 Gannet Drive in Montauk, Eileen Alvaliotis of Massapequa, has received citations from East Hampton Town alleging overcrowding and excessive turnover. She was in Town Justice Court Monday to be arraigned on a total of 27 charges.

Under town code, a homeowner can only rent a house twice a season. In addition to the charge of excessive turnover, Ms. Alvaliotis and her husband, who was in the courtroom but not identified, were said to have converted several non-living spaces into bedrooms, including a closet that was reportedly being used as a child’s bedroom.

After entering Ms. Alvaliotis’s not-guilty plea to the misdemeanors, East Hampton Town Justice Lisa R. Rana set her next court date for Monday. Ms. Alvaliotis asked for more time, saying she had five young children at home.

“No, there are health and safety issues here,” Justice Rana said.

Also on Monday, the arraignment process began for alleged code violations in a house on Ocean Boulevard, East Hampton, off Queens Lane, that is owned by the Hamptons Country Day Camp. David S. Skolnick, 32, of Plainview and Doris E. Rosen, 60, of Jericho, both listed on the camp’s website as directors, were not present for their arraignment. Nor were any of the camp’s officers.

“They should have been here today,” Justice Rana said to Brian C. Doyle of the Bridgehampton law firm Farrell Fritz, representing the defendants. She set the return date for the arraignments for Aug. 31, after Michael Sendlenski, the prosecuting attorney for East Hampton Town, told her the house no longer had pressing health and safety issues that would have merited a more immediate return.

Mr. Doyle would not comment afterward.
