Remedies for violations
Operative Text
A. Upon determination by the Code Enforcement Officer that there has been a violation of any provision of this chapter, notice of such violation shall be given to the person responsible for obtaining or maintaining the building/installation/occupancy permit for the mobile home, mobile home lot or mobile home park lot in violation. Such notice shall be in writing and shall state the nature of the violation and the remedial actions necessary to correct it. The notice shall also specify the dates by which remedial action must be taken to correct such violation. B. The Code Enforcement Officer may bring an appropriate legal proceeding to punish the responsible person for such violation or, in an appropriate case and with the prior approval of the Town Board, a proceeding to enjoin such violation. (See § 97-43 for penalties.) C. Whenever the Code Enforcement Officer determines that an emergency exists which requires immediate action to protect the public health, safety or welfare, he may issue an order stating the existence of such emergency and require that such action be taken as may be deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and welfare. D. Occupancy certificates, building permits or installation permits may be invalidated for a conviction of a violation of this chapter if the violation has not been corrected.
Barton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 97 § 97-8 establishes the process by which violations of the town's mobile home regulations are addressed. When the Code Enforcement Officer identifies a violation, written notice must be issued to the responsible party describing the problem and setting deadlines for correction. The officer may pursue legal action or, with Town Board approval, seek an injunction, and in emergencies may issue immediate protective orders. Permits and occupancy certificates can be invalidated if a violation is not corrected after a conviction.

Under Barton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 97 § 97-8, operators of mobile home parks or lots who receive a written violation notice from the Code Enforcement Officer are generally expected to address the stated deficiencies within the deadlines specified in that notice. Compliant operators keep records of corrective actions taken and confirm that remediation is completed before any deadline passes. Failure to correct a violation can result in legal proceedings, injunctions, or the invalidation of occupancy certificates, building permits, or installation permits, with penalties referenced in § 97-43.
