Manorhaven, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 82 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 82-32
Power to abate hazards
Operative Text
Whenever any violation of this chapter which, in the opinion of the Building Inspector, causes a direct hazard or immediate danger to the health, safety, morals or welfare of the occupants of a building or the public, has not been corrected within the time specified by the order issued under § 82-31 of this chapter, the Building Inspector may take such direct action as is necessary to abate the hazard or danger. Expenses incurred in the execution of such orders shall be recovered as provided in § 82-25 of this chapter.
Section 82-32 of Manorhaven's Code of Ordinances grants the Building Inspector authority to take direct corrective action when a code violation poses an immediate hazard to occupants or the public and has not been remedied within the timeframe set by a prior order under § 82-31. The provision allows the municipality to step in and physically abate the danger rather than waiting indefinitely for voluntary compliance. Any costs the village incurs in carrying out that abatement are recoverable through the mechanism established in § 82-25.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 82-32, property owners and managers in Manorhaven who receive a violation order under § 82-31 and fail to correct a hazardous condition within the specified deadline risk having the Building Inspector intervene directly to abate the problem. Compliant operators generally respond promptly to any orders citing immediate dangers to health, safety, morals, or welfare, ensuring repairs are completed before the stated deadline. Because § 82-25 provides a mechanism for the village to recover abatement expenses, unaddressed violations can result in financial liability beyond any other penalties.

Tenants who believe a hazardous condition exists may contact the Manorhaven Building Inspector to report the violation and inquire about the status of any outstanding orders issued under § 82-31. Tenant-rights organizations can help occupants understand what options are generally available when a landlord is unresponsive to a dangerous condition.
