Norwood, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 136 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 136-8
Failure to comply
Operative Text
Upon failure to comply with the requirements of such notice, the Village Board may, but shall not be under obligation to authorize the work to be done and pay the cost thereof out of general funds appropriated by the Village Board for such purpose. In case of such failure to comply, the owner and/or person in control of the property whereon the violation occurs is deemed to consent to the right of entry by the Village officials for the sole purpose correcting such violation.
Under Norwood, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 136 § 136-8, if a property owner or person in control of a property fails to comply with a notice of violation, the Village Board has the discretionary authority—though not the obligation—to arrange for the required work to be completed using general village funds. When such a failure to comply occurs, the owner or person in control is considered to have consented to village officials entering the property for the limited purpose of correcting the cited violation. This provision establishes a municipal backstop mechanism, not a guarantee that the village will act.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Norwood, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 136 § 136-8 generally respond promptly to any notice of violation to avoid triggering the Village Board's discretionary authority to perform the work themselves. Compliant operators understand that non-compliance is treated under this section as implied consent to village officials entering the property solely to correct the stated violation. Keeping records of corrective actions taken in response to a notice can help demonstrate timely compliance.

Under Norwood, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 136 § 136-8, tenants should be aware that this provision empowers the Village Board to step in and correct property violations when an owner or person in control fails to act on a notice—though the village is not required to do so. If a property condition covered by ch. 136 remains unaddressed after a notice has been issued, tenants may consider contacting the Village of Norwood directly to inquire about the status of enforcement. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what options may be available when a landlord does not respond to a violation notice.
