Fonda, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 112 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 112-16
Notice of violation
Operative Text
A. If the condition existing on property violates the provisions of this chapter, the Code Enforcement Officer shall serve or cause to be served a written notice, by certified mail or personal service, upon the owner, lessee, agent, tenant or other person with authority over said premises. B. Said notice shall contain substantially the following: the name of the owner, lessee, agent or other person with authority over the premises, the identification of the premises as the same appears on the current assessment roll of the Village, a statement of the condition of the premises as found on the inspection, a demand to maintain property and/or that the motor vehicles, motorized equipment, litter, appliance, rubbish, refuse, or debris be removed from the premises on or before five days after the mailing or service of such notice. C. Upon the failure of the owner, lessee, agent, tenant or other person with authority over the premises to correct the violation after receipt of the five days' notice, the enforcement officer shall file a complaint with the Village of Fonda Justice Court. In addition to the above-provided penalties, the Village Board may also maintain an action or proceeding in the name of the Village in a court of competent jurisdiction to compel compliance with or restrain by injunction the violation of any section of this chapter.
Under Fonda, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 112 § 112-16, when a property is found to violate the chapter's standards, the Code Enforcement Officer must deliver a written notice—by certified mail or personal service—to the owner, lessee, agent, tenant, or other responsible party. That notice must identify the property, describe the violation found during inspection, and demand that the problem (such as removal of motor vehicles, litter, appliances, rubbish, or debris) be corrected within five days. If the violation is not corrected within that five-day window, the enforcement officer is required to file a complaint with the Village of Fonda Justice Court, and the Village Board may also seek an injunction in a court of competent jurisdiction.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Fonda, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 112 § 112-16 generally ensure that any conditions involving motor vehicles, motorized equipment, litter, appliances, rubbish, refuse, or debris are addressed promptly upon receiving a written notice of violation. A compliant operator typically acts within the five-day period specified in the notice to correct the cited condition and documents that corrective action was taken. Failure to respond within that window can result in a formal complaint being filed with the Village of Fonda Justice Court and potential injunctive proceedings initiated by the Village Board.

Tenants who receive a notice of violation under Fonda, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 112 § 112-16 should be aware that the notice is a formal legal document requiring a response within five days of mailing or personal service. Because the provision allows the Code Enforcement Officer to file a complaint with the Village of Fonda Justice Court if the violation is not corrected, tenants may wish to review the notice carefully to understand exactly what condition must be remedied. Consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider can help clarify responsibilities and available options when a notice is received.
