Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 186 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 186-9
Notice of violation
Operative Text
A. Whenever the Village Engineer determines that a premises containing a rental unit is in violation of the housing code, a notice of violation will be issued to the owner which shall set forth the following, at a minimum: (1) The location of the subject property; (2) Specific violations of the housing code; and (3) A reasonable time, not to exceed 30 days, for the correction of any violations, except that any violations which are deemed to be an imminent threat to life and safety are cause for an accelerated period for correction and/or immediate rejection or revocation of a rental unit registration certificate as the facts may justify. B. Such notice may contain any additional information as determined by the Village Engineer which may be necessary to achieve the goals of this article. C. Except for non-qualifying violations as set forth above, for purposes of this article, the Village Engineer, upon good cause shown, may grant additional time to correct violations of the housing code beyond 30 days. Any such extensions shall be requested and issued in writing stating the reasons for such extension and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of this article. D. The notice of violation shall be mailed by first-class mail to the owner at the address provided pursuant to this article or personally served upon the owner by delivering the notice to the owner or by delivering the notice to a person of suitable age and discretion at the owner's residence or place of business. E. On or before the deadline for correction of the violation, the owner must schedule a re-inspection of the premises. Upon re-inspection, if the Village finds noncompliance with the notice of violation or additional violations of the housing code, the rental unit registration certificate may be denied or revoked as applicable with such denial or revocation provided in a written statement setting forth the reasons for the denial or revocation.
Under Croton-on-Hudson Code of Ordinances ch. 186 § 186-9, when the Village Engineer identifies a housing code violation at a rental property, a formal notice of violation must be issued to the property owner detailing the location, the specific violations, and a correction deadline of no more than 30 days. Violations posing an imminent threat to life or safety can trigger a shorter correction window or immediate suspension of the rental unit registration certificate. If the owner fails to correct violations by the deadline or additional violations are found at re-inspection, the rental unit registration certificate may be denied or revoked.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 186-9, compliant operators treat a notice of violation as a time-sensitive document requiring prompt action: they review the specific violations listed, begin remediation, and schedule a re-inspection on or before the stated deadline. If 30 days is insufficient, operators generally submit a written extension request to the Village Engineer explaining the reasons for the delay before the deadline passes. Operators also ensure their mailing address on file is current, since the notice is delivered by first-class mail or personal service to the address provided under this article.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 186-9 establishes a formal process through which the Village Engineer can compel a rental property owner to correct housing code violations, with a correction window of up to 30 days and an even shorter timeline for life-safety hazards. Tenants who believe their unit has housing code violations may contact the Village of Croton-on-Hudson to request an inspection, which can trigger the notice-of-violation process under this provision. If violations go uncorrected, the owner's rental unit registration certificate can be denied or revoked, and tenants may also wish to consult a tenant-rights organization to understand how this process intersects with their broader housing rights.
