Greenwood Lake, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 62 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 62-11
Enforcement
Operative Text
All inspections, regulations, enforcement and hearings on violations of this code, unless expressly stated to the contrary, shall be under the direction and supervision of the Building Inspector, Supervisor of the Department of Public Works, Fire Inspector, Health Office and the Police Department.
Section 62-11 of Greenwood Lake's Code of Ordinances establishes which local officials and departments are responsible for overseeing the rental housing code. Unless a specific provision says otherwise, authority over inspections, enforcement actions, and violation hearings is shared among the Building Inspector, the Department of Public Works Supervisor, the Fire Inspector, the Health Office, and the Police Department. This distributed structure means multiple agencies may have jurisdiction depending on the nature of a given code issue.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Section 62-11, compliant operators in Greenwood Lake generally maintain their properties in a condition that can withstand review by any of the five designated enforcement bodies — the Building Inspector, Department of Public Works Supervisor, Fire Inspector, Health Office, or Police Department. Because authority is shared, a property may be subject to inspection or enforcement action from more than one of these agencies. Operators familiar with this provision typically keep records and documentation accessible in the event that any of these departments initiates a review or hearing.
