Mamakating, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 120 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 120-6
Enforcement
Operative Text
The Town Multiple Residence Code Enforcement Officer, Town Building Inspector and Town Fire Code Enforcement Officer shall be charged with the duty of enforcing the provisions of this chapter and shall have the power to enter, examine and inspect or cause to be examined and inspected any building or property for the purpose of carrying out the duties of such person or department under this chapter and are authorized and empowered to file formal complaints and issue notices of violation of this chapter to a court of competent jurisdiction. These officials are further authorized and empowered to prosecute said violations before a court of competent jurisdiction.
Chapter 120, Section 120-6 of Mamakating's Code of Ordinances designates three town officials — the Multiple Residence Code Enforcement Officer, the Building Inspector, and the Fire Code Enforcement Officer — as the authorities responsible for enforcing the chapter's requirements. These officials are empowered to enter and inspect buildings and properties, issue notices of violation, file formal complaints, and prosecute violations in court. The provision establishes a clear chain of enforcement authority rather than setting substantive housing standards itself.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Mamakating Code ch. 120 § 120-6, property owners and managers should be aware that multiple town officials hold concurrent authority to inspect their buildings and properties without needing to coordinate through a single office. Compliant operators generally maintain their properties in a condition that can withstand inspection at any time and cooperate with authorized entry by the Multiple Residence Code Enforcement Officer, Building Inspector, or Fire Code Enforcement Officer. Violations identified during such inspections can result in formal complaints filed and prosecuted in a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 120-6 of Mamakating's Code ch. 120 means that tenants have more than one avenue for reporting potential code violations — complaints can be directed to the Multiple Residence Code Enforcement Officer, the Town Building Inspector, or the Town Fire Code Enforcement Officer, all of whom carry enforcement authority. Each of these officials is empowered to inspect the property and, if warranted, issue notices of violation and pursue prosecution in court. Tenants who believe a violation exists may also consult a local tenant-rights organization to understand which official or process best fits the nature of their concern.
