Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 54-60, a property owner or manager named as a respondent in a human-relations complaint can expect to receive official notice within ten calendar days of the complaint being received or initiated by the community relations administrator. That notice will arrive either in person or by certified mail and will include the complaint itself along with a summary of procedural rights and deadlines. Operators who manage multiple properties should ensure that mailing addresses on file with the village are current so that certified-mail notices are received promptly.
