Garden City, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 127-45
Failure to comply with notice
Operative Text
For any and every violation of any other provision of this chapter and upon failure to comply with written notice thereof or order to remove such violation within 10 days after service of such notice or order or any extended date of compliance granted in accordance with the provisions of this section, the owner, agent or contractor of any structure or of any land where such violation has been committed or shall exist, and the owner, general agent or contractor, lessee or tenant of any part of a structure or land, in or on which part such violation has been committed or shall exist, and the general agent, builder, contractor or any other person who commits, takes part or assists in such violation or who maintains any building or premises in which such violation shall exist, shall be guilty of an offense and shall be punishable as provided in Chapter 1 , General Provisions, Article II , Penalties for Offenses, for each and every day or part thereof during which such violation continues after said 10 days, or, if an extension of time is given by the Building Official, for each and every day after the extended date.
Garden City, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 § 127-45 establishes that when a written notice or order is issued for a violation of Chapter 127, the responsible parties have 10 days to correct the problem—or longer if the Building Official grants an extension. If the violation persists beyond that deadline, every person connected to the violation (including owners, agents, contractors, lessees, and tenants) may be found guilty of an offense. Penalties accrue on a per-day basis for each day the violation continues past the compliance deadline.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Garden City, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 § 127-45, compliant property owners and managers treat any written notice or order as a firm deadline, taking documented corrective action within the 10-day window. If full correction is not possible in time, operators typically communicate with the Building Official to request a formal extension before the deadline passes, since only an officially granted extension shifts the per-day penalty clock. Keeping records of all correspondence, inspection reports, and completed repairs helps demonstrate timely good-faith compliance.

Garden City, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 § 127-45 is notable because it can apply not only to owners and contractors but also to lessees and tenants who commit or maintain a violation on their portion of a property. Tenants who receive a notice or order should be aware that the 10-day compliance period applies to them as well, and that daily penalties can accumulate if the violation is not corrected or an extension is not obtained. Tenant-rights organizations or a licensed attorney familiar with local housing code can help clarify what obligations and options exist under this provision.
