Hastings-on-Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 224 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 224-11

A. Upon the failure, neglect or refusal of any owner, person or agent so notified to properly comply with this chapter within 20 days after the service of notice as provided herein, the Building Inspector is hereby authorized and empowered to pay for the correction of such violation, subject to the approval of the Village Manager of the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson. B. When the village has effected the correction of the violation or has paid for its removal, the actual cost thereof, plus the accrued legal rate of interest per annum from the date of the completion of the work, if not paid by such owner prior thereto, shall be charged to such owner by the village, and such charge shall become due and payable by said owner or person at the time of the payment of such bill. C. Where the full amount due the village is not paid by such owner within 20 days after the correction of such violation as provided in Subsections A and B above, then, and in that case, the Building Inspector shall cause to be filed in the office of the Village Clerk a sworn statement showing the cost and expense incurred for the work, the date the work was completed and the location of the property by section, lot and block on which said work was done and the name of the reputed owner thereof. The filing of such sworn statement shall constitute a lien and privilege on the property and shall remain in full force and effect for the amount due in principal and interest, plus cost of court, if any, for collection, until final payment has been made. Said costs and expenses shall be collected in the manner fixed by law for the collection of taxes and, further, shall be subject to a delinquent penalty at the legal rate of interest in the event that the same is not paid in full on or before the date the tax bill upon which such charge appears becomes delinquent. Sworn statements filed in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be prima facie evidence that all legal formalities have been complied with and the work has been properly and successfully done and shall be full notice to every person concerned that the amount of the statement, plus interest, constitutes a charge against the property designated and described in the statement and that the same is due and collectible as provided by law.
