Notice of violation
Operative Text
Upon a finding by the Code Enforcement Officer that a rental dwelling or dwelling unit has violated any provisions of this chapter, the Code Enforcement Officer shall give notice to the owner or designated agent to correct said violation within 24 hours of receipt of said notice by the owner or designated agent. Upon failure to correct said violation within 24 hours, the Code Enforcement Officer may revoke the owner's permit issued pursuant to this chapter. The Code Enforcement Officer shall, in his/her judgment, give a violator reasonable time to repair or correct any violation of any provision of this chapter.
Under Delhi, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 228 § 228-12, when a Code Enforcement Officer finds that a rental dwelling or dwelling unit violates the chapter's requirements, the owner or their designated agent must be formally notified and given 24 hours to correct the violation. If the violation is not corrected within that window, the officer has the authority to revoke the rental permit issued under this chapter. The officer also retains discretionary authority to grant a violator a reasonable amount of additional time to make repairs or corrections, depending on the circumstances.

Operators subject to Delhi, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 228 § 228-12 generally maintain their rental properties in continuous compliance with the chapter so that a notice of violation does not trigger the 24-hour correction clock. Compliant operators typically have a designated agent on record who can receive official notices and coordinate prompt repairs, since failure to act within 24 hours of receipt can result in permit revocation. Keeping documentation of repair timelines and communications with the Code Enforcement Officer is a practice commonly associated with demonstrating responsiveness under this provision.

Under Delhi, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 228 § 228-12, tenants living in a rental dwelling that has been found in violation have an interest in knowing that the law requires the owner to be notified and given 24 hours to correct the problem, with permit revocation as a possible consequence of inaction. Tenants who believe a violation exists may consider contacting the local Code Enforcement Officer to initiate an inspection, or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options. Keeping records of reported conditions and any communications with the landlord or enforcement office can be useful when following up on whether a violation has been addressed under this provision.
