Canisteo, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 87 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 87-9
Fees
Operative Text
A. The Board of Trustees of the Village of Canisteo is hereby authorized to adopt, by resolution, a schedule of reasonable and uniform fees that are required to be paid for rental housing inspections, certificates of occupancy or any other associated fees that are now required or provided by this article or that may hereafter be required or provided for. Such resolution and the fees so established may be revised or amended from time to time by a resolution of the Village Board of Trustees. B. At the time of inspection, a check for all fees in full made payable to the Village of Canisteo is required. C. The inspection fee shall cover the initial inspection and one follow up inspection. Additional inspections or callbacks based on the initial inspection shall be charged the same as the initial inspection. D. A fee equivalent to the inspection fee shall be charged for missed inspection appointments by the owner, agent, or occupant unless sufficient prior notice is given to the Village Clerk or the Codes Enforcement Official. The Codes Enforcement Official shall give sufficient notice to the owner, agent, or occupant if he or she cannot be at the inspection site at the appointed time.
Section 87-9 of Canisteo's rental housing code establishes how inspection-related fees are set and collected for rental properties in the Village of Canisteo. The Board of Trustees sets a uniform fee schedule by resolution, which can be updated over time. The base inspection fee covers an initial visit and one follow-up; any additional inspections cost the same as the initial fee. Both property owners and the village's Codes Enforcement Official are held to a missed-appointment fee unless adequate advance notice is given to the appropriate village office.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 87-9, operators of rental housing in Canisteo are expected to pay all applicable inspection fees in full by check—made out to the Village of Canisteo—at the time of inspection. A compliant operator ensures that the initial inspection and any required follow-up are scheduled and attended, since additional callbacks beyond the first follow-up are billed at the same rate as the initial inspection. To avoid a missed-appointment fee equal to the full inspection fee, property owners, agents, or occupants generally provide sufficient advance notice to the Village Clerk or the Codes Enforcement Official if they cannot keep a scheduled inspection appointment.

Section 87-9 places the primary fee obligations on property owners and their agents rather than on occupants, though occupants are also subject to a missed-appointment fee if they fail to appear for a scheduled inspection without giving sufficient prior notice. Tenants who believe a landlord's failure to comply with the inspection fee or scheduling requirements under § 87-9 is affecting their housing conditions may raise that concern with the Village Clerk or the Codes Enforcement Official. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York village housing codes can help residents understand how this provision interacts with broader rental housing protections.
