Bronxville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 192 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 192-8
Claimed violation
Operative Text
If a tenant of a multiple dwelling notifies the owner or managing agent of any claimed violation of the Multiple Dwelling Maintenance Code, the Superintendent of Buildings or his or her designated qualified deputy shall upon receipt of written notification from the tenant that within a reasonable time after such notification by the tenant to the owner or managing agent the condition complained of has not been corrected, or in the absence of such written notification by the tenant to the Superintendent of Buildings, he or she may at his or her discretion inspect the property and determine whether a violation exists. If the Superintendent of Buildings determines that a violation exists, he or she shall in writing with copy to the tenant notify the owner or managing agent of such violation and prescribe a reasonable time for its correction (such time not to exceed 30 days in the absence of compelling circumstances). Failure of the owner or managing agent to correct the violation within the time limit prescribed shall constitute a violation subject to the penalties referred to in § 192-10 of this chapter.
Under Bronxville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 192 § 192-8, when a tenant in a multiple dwelling reports a maintenance code violation to the owner or managing agent and the problem goes uncorrected within a reasonable time, the tenant may notify the Superintendent of Buildings in writing, who then has discretion to inspect the property and determine whether a violation exists. If a violation is confirmed, the Superintendent must notify the owner or managing agent in writing—with a copy to the tenant—and set a correction deadline of no more than 30 days unless compelling circumstances justify a longer period. An owner or managing agent who fails to correct the violation within that prescribed time is subject to the penalties set out in § 192-10 of the same chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 192-8, compliant property owners and managing agents in Bronxville multiple dwellings generally respond promptly to tenant maintenance complaints and complete repairs within a reasonable time after notification, so that the matter does not escalate to a formal inspection by the Superintendent of Buildings. When the Superintendent does issue a written violation notice, operators typically document their corrective actions and complete them within the deadline stated in that notice—ordinarily no more than 30 days. Failure to meet the prescribed correction deadline triggers the penalty provisions of § 192-10, so maintaining clear records of repair timelines and communications is a common practice among compliant operators.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 192-8 of the Bronxville Code gives tenants in multiple dwellings a formal pathway when a maintenance complaint to the owner or managing agent goes unaddressed: the tenant may submit written notification to the Superintendent of Buildings, who then has discretion to inspect and, if a violation is found, issue a written correction order with a copy provided to the tenant. This written copy can serve as documentation of the official finding, which may be relevant if a tenant later needs to reference the violation in other proceedings. Tenants seeking to understand their options under this provision may find it useful to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with Bronxville's Multiple Dwelling Maintenance Code.
