North Hempstead, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 28 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 28-41
Additional penalty for certain offenses
Operative Text
Notwithstanding any other provision of this code, any person who, having secured a demolition permit pursuant to Article VIA, does not demolish the building and clear the site within 30 days shall be in violation of this code and shall be subject to a fine of $100 for each day that such violation continues.
Under North Hempstead Code § 28-41, once a person has obtained a demolition permit under Article VIA, they are required to complete the demolition and fully clear the site within 30 days. Failing to meet that deadline constitutes a code violation, regardless of what other provisions of the code may say. Each day the violation continues after the 30-day window carries a separate $100 fine.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers who pull a demolition permit under Article VIA in North Hempstead should treat the 30-day completion window in § 28-41 as a firm deadline. Compliant operators typically coordinate contractors, obtain necessary clearances, and confirm site clearance well before the deadline to avoid the $100-per-day fine that begins accruing the moment the violation starts. Keeping dated documentation of demolition progress and site clearance can be important if a compliance question arises.
