Town of Babylon officials joined with colleagues from across Long Island on Friday, September 5, in Massapequa, to dedicate the street where Detective Stephen J. Mullen once lived, honoring his decades of law enforcement service and enduring legacy of courage.
Detective Mullen, who served in the Suffolk County
Street Dedicated In Honor Of Detective Stephen J. Mullen, 9/11 Responder
Police Department’s 1st Precinct, was widely recognized for his heroic actions during the 2000 plane crash near Republic Airport and for his tireless work at Ground Zero following the September 11th terrorist attacks. His career reflected an unwavering commitment to public safety and his community.
“Detective Mullen’s life of service reminds us of the extraordinary courage shown by all of our September 11th first responders,” said Councilman and Public Safety Chairman Terence McSweeney.
“Their sacrifices will never be forgotten, and this dedication ensures future generations will
remember the strength and selflessness of heroes like Detective Mullen.”
Councilman McSweeney also expressed gratitude to Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino for hosting the dedication.
“I want to extend my gratitude to Supervisor Saladino for bringing us together in this meaningful way,” McSweeney said.
“This tribute is a powerful reminder of how one individual’s service can inspire and uplift an entire community.”
Supervisor Saladino spoke of Detective Mullen’s lasting impact on Long Island. “Detective Mullen represented the very best of law enforcement— courage, compassion, and dedication,” said Saladino.
“By naming this street in his honor, we ensure that his service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.”
Legislator Tom Donnelly also reflected on Detective Mullen’s commitment to service. “Detective Mullen was a true hometown hero whose dedication extended far beyond the badge,” said Donnelly. “His work during some of our community’s darkest days showed incredible bravery, and it is only fitting that his name will forever be a part of the neighborhood he loved.”
The dedication ceremony was attended by members
of the Suffolk County Police Department, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, the Nassau County Police Department, and other law enforcement agencies, along with state and local elected officials.
Detective Mullen is survived by his wife and two sons, Patrick and James.
The newly named street will serve as a lasting reminder of his service, sacrifice, and devotion to both family and community.

In addition, Receiver Pravato encourages residents who recently purchased a home, condominium or co-op unit, or recently refinanced, to be sure that notification in writing is sent to Jeffrey P. Pravato, Receiver of Taxes, 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, NY 11771-1539 or email receiveroftaxes@ oysterbay-ny.gov.
“This will ensure that tax bills are received promptly by the homeowner,” said Tax Receiver Pravato. “A homeowner relying on a bank, attorney, or Nassau County to notify the Tax Office may find there is a delay in billing the homeowner directly, which can lead to the imposition of a late payment penalty.”
“When writing, property owners should include the legal property description, including the school district, section, block, and lot numbers, as well as the name and address to whom tax bills should be directed. In the case of condominiums, the building and unit number should be noted,” added Tax Receiver Pravato.
Residents may also report their information in person by visiting the Office of the Receiver of Taxes at Town Hall North at 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay or Town Hall South at 977 Hicksville Road, Massapequa. Both offices are open daily from 9:00 am to 4:45 pm to assist residents.
Property owners residing in incorporated villages must also notify their village assessor. Homeowners requiring further assistance should contact the Office of the Receiver of Taxes at (516) 624-6400.

“During our first meeting with Michele we knew immediately she was the person we wanted to help sell our home of 36 years. Every detail of the process was clearly explained to us and executed exactly as proposed. Michele helped us carefully review our offers and pointed out the positives and negatives of each one. In the end we got a terrific price for our home and we were very happy. We highly recommend Michele for her professionalism and many years of real estate knowledge.” ... Andrew & Sheryl Engel
“We give Michele & Mark Goodman our very highest recommendation!! My husband who is a real estate attorney & I knew that we wanted Michele and Mark to find a buyer for our home and quickly! That was a good decision!! They found a buyer within a few weeks & negotiated a price of $82,000 higher than our asking. We have already recommended this team to clients and will highly recommend them to friends & family. They are true professionals!!” ... Arnie & Resa Hauptman
“After researching and interviewing a number of realtors to sell our Massapequa home, we decided on using the Michele and Mark Goodman Team at Douglas Elliman Real Estate. Michele and Mark conducted thorough market research, had expert historical knowledge of the house and its community and were very knowledgeable of the various selling features the neighborhood offered. The Team’s confident approach to listing and marketing the property was effective, resulting in strong prospect interest and ultimately a very satisfying sales price within a short time frame. They also did an excellent job keeping us informed along the way and were, without fail, extremely responsive to questions sent to them regardless of the time of day.” ... Jeffrey Tomitz
