Manorhaven, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 82 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 82-24
Demolition upon noncompliance
Operative Text
Whenever a notice or order to remove a violation or to secure, vacate or demolish a building has not been complied with, and when such failure to comply is deemed by the Building Inspector to constitute a nuisance, he may proceed to cause the structure to be demolished, repaired, altered, secured or vacated or may take such other action as is necessary to abate the nuisance. Whenever the Building Inspector, determines that such nuisance exists, he shall record sufficient proof to support such determination, and the owner, occupant, lessee or mortgagee shall be notified of such finding pursuant to § 82-29 of this chapter. Abatement authorized by this section shall not commence until at least 10 days after service of such notice.
Under Manorhaven Code § 82-24, when a property owner or other responsible party fails to comply with a notice or order to fix, secure, vacate, or demolish a building, and the Building Inspector determines that the uncorrected condition rises to the level of a nuisance, the village is authorized to step in and carry out the necessary work itself. Before any such action begins, the Building Inspector must document the basis for the nuisance finding and formally notify the owner, occupant, lessee, or mortgagee in accordance with § 82-29. Abatement cannot begin until at least 10 days have passed since that notice was served, giving affected parties a window to respond.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Manorhaven Code § 82-24 generally act promptly on any notice or order issued by the Building Inspector, since unresolved violations can be deemed a nuisance and trigger village-directed demolition, repair, or other abatement at the owner's potential expense. Compliant operators typically maintain records showing timely corrective action and stay alert to any formal findings recorded by the Building Inspector under this section. Owners, lessees, and mortgagees are all listed as parties entitled to notice under § 82-29, so ensuring contact information is current with the village can be important for receiving timely notification before the 10-day window begins to run.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants and occupants are among the parties who must be notified under Manorhaven Code § 82-24 before the village may begin abatement of a declared nuisance, giving them at least 10 days after service of notice before any demolition, repair, or vacating action commences. If you receive such a notice, tenant-rights organizations or a housing attorney familiar with Nassau County and village-level code enforcement can help explain what the finding means and what options may be available. Tenants who believe a building condition poses an immediate safety risk may also consider contacting the Manorhaven Building Inspector directly to inquire about the status of any outstanding orders under this section.
