Sleepy Hollow — Title 4 Ch. 6 Property Maintenance; Removals § 4-6-7
Agents, etc., included
Operative Text
For all purposes of this chapter, any agent, servant, representative, or employee of any owner, lessee, occupant, possessor, or other person having any control of the subject property, shall be responsible for conditions on the property, and may be served with any notice required hereunder.
Sleepy Hollow Title 4 Ch. 6 § 4-6-7 extends responsibility for property conditions beyond the direct owner or occupant to anyone acting on their behalf — such as a property manager, leasing agent, or maintenance employee. Under this provision, these representatives can be held accountable for code violations and can be formally served with official notices just as the principal owner or occupant would be. The rule ensures that delegating day-to-day property management does not insulate the underlying owner from enforcement, and that notices reach the people actually controlling the property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Sleepy Hollow § 4-6-7, property owners and lessees should be aware that any agent, manager, or employee they authorize to oversee a property shares responsibility for maintaining it in compliance with Chapter 6. Compliant operators typically ensure that their representatives are informed of local property maintenance standards and understand that official notices served on those representatives carry the same legal weight as notices served on the owner directly. Keeping clear lines of communication between ownership and on-site staff helps ensure that any notice received by an agent is promptly escalated and addressed.

Sleepy Hollow § 4-6-7 means that tenants do not need to track down an absent owner to trigger enforcement — a property manager, leasing agent, or on-site employee can be served with required notices and held responsible for property conditions under Chapter 6. If a maintenance or habitability issue arises, tenants generally have the option of directing complaints to whichever representative actually controls the property, and that person is legally accountable under this provision. Tenant-rights organizations in the area can help residents understand what notices or complaints are available and how to document conditions effectively.
