Holley, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 146 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 146-9
Enforcement
Operative Text
Where sufficient cause exists to believe that the terms of this chapter have been violated, the Fair Housing Officer shall institute a suit in Village Court against the alleged violator within 120 days following the issuance of the charge.
Section 146-9 of Holley's fair housing ordinance establishes a time-bound enforcement mechanism: when there is sufficient cause to believe a violation of Chapter 146 has occurred, the designated Fair Housing Officer is required to file a lawsuit in Village Court against the alleged violator. This action must be initiated within 120 days of the charge being issued. The provision sets a procedural deadline that governs how and when the Village pursues enforcement, rather than leaving the timing to discretion.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Section 146-9, property owners and managers operating in Holley should be aware that the Village's Fair Housing Officer has a defined 120-day window from the issuance of a charge to bring a case in Village Court. Operators who maintain documented, consistent fair housing compliance practices are generally better positioned if a charge is ever issued. Keeping thorough records of tenant interactions, application processes, and housing decisions supports a clear compliance posture under Chapter 146.
