Brighton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 129 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 129-13
Service of notice
Operative Text
Every notice shall be served upon such owner, occupant or tenant by one of the following methods: A. By personal service; B. By certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to his or her last known address as shown on the latest completed assessment roll of the Town of Brighton; or C. By the posting of such notice in a conspicuous place upon the premises affected and a copy thereof mailed on the same day it is posted, addressed to his or her last known address as shown on the latest completed assessment roll of the Town of Brighton, such notice to be sent by registered mail.
Brighton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 129 § 129-13 establishes three acceptable methods for delivering official notices to property owners, occupants, or tenants: personal delivery, certified mail with return receipt to the address on the Town's latest assessment roll, or posting the notice conspicuously on the property while simultaneously sending a registered-mail copy to that same assessment-roll address. The rule ensures that notice recipients have a documented, verifiable record of when and how they were informed. All three methods are treated as legally valid service under this provision.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Brighton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 129 § 129-13, compliant property operators generally maintain accurate, up-to-date address records and retain documentation of whichever service method was used — whether personal delivery, certified mail with return receipt, or simultaneous posting and registered mailing. Keeping copies of return receipts, mailing confirmations, and posting records helps demonstrate that notice obligations were properly fulfilled. Operators typically verify that the address used matches what appears on the Town of Brighton's latest completed assessment roll, since that is the address standard the provision references.

Brighton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 129 § 129-13 defines the methods by which official notices must be delivered to tenants, meaning a notice served by any other method may not satisfy the legal requirements of this provision. Tenants who receive — or believe they should have received — a notice can review whether it arrived via personal service, certified mail with return receipt, or conspicuous posting combined with registered mail to their assessment-roll address. Those with questions about whether a notice was properly served may benefit from consulting a tenant-rights organization or reviewing the Town of Brighton's code directly.
