Gloversville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 170 § 170-14
Service of notices and orders
Operative Text
Whenever the enforcement officer finds that there has been a violation of this chapter or of any rule or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, he shall give notice to the person or persons responsible, with a copy of the same being kept and maintained in the files of the Gloversville Fire Department. Such notice shall be in writing, shall further include a description of the real estate sufficient for identification, shall further include a statement of the reason or reasons that the notice or order is being issued, shall further set forth a reasonable time for the performance of any act it requires, and shall further be served upon the owner or agent or upon the occupant, as the case may require. Service shall be via personal service or by registered letter or in any other manner authorized or required by law.
Section 170-14 of Gloversville's Code of Ordinances establishes how official notices and orders must be delivered when a violation of Chapter 170 is found. Any written notice must identify the property, explain the reason for the notice, and give a reasonable timeframe for corrective action. A copy of every such notice is kept on file with the Gloversville Fire Department, and delivery must occur through personal service, registered mail, or another legally recognized method.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 170-14, property owners and their agents are among those who may receive official violation notices from the enforcement officer. A compliant operator generally maintains current contact information so that personal service or registered mail reaches the right party without delay, and keeps records of any notices received along with the deadlines for required action. Because a copy is filed with the Gloversville Fire Department, operators can also confirm whether a notice has been issued against a property they manage.

Section 170-14 gives occupants a right to receive written notice when a violation affecting their dwelling is found under Chapter 170, with the notice specifying the property, the reason for the order, and the time allowed for correction. Tenants who believe a violation exists but have not seen any notice may contact the Gloversville Fire Department, which is required to maintain copies of all such notices on file. Those seeking to understand their options can reach out to a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office for general guidance on how this provision may apply to their situation.
