Patchogue, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 238 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 238-3
Restrictions upon transfers
Operative Text
No owner of any premises subject to the provisions of this chapter, upon whom any notice of a violation has been served pursuant to the provisions hereof or as to whom there shall be pending any proceeding or action at law arising from the violation or alleged violation of the provisions of this chapter, shall sell, transfer, grant, mortgage, lease or otherwise dispose of the premises concerned until compliance has been had with such notice and until any and all proceedings in any court with respect to the same shall have been finally determined, unless such owners shall furnish to the purchaser, grantee, transferee, mortgagee or lessee, prior to such sale, grant, transfer, mortgage or lease, a true copy of any such notice and a notice indicating the pendency of any such proceeding and at the same time give at least 10 days' notice to the Building Inspector of the Village of Patchogue of the proposed sale, grant, transfer, mortgage or lease, together with the names and addresses of all parties thereto.
Section 238-3 of Patchogue's Code of Ordinances restricts what property owners can do with premises that are subject to an outstanding violation notice or a pending legal proceeding under Chapter 238. An owner in that situation generally cannot sell, transfer, mortgage, or lease the property until the violation is resolved and all related court proceedings are concluded. An exception exists if the owner provides the incoming buyer, lessee, or mortgagee with a true copy of the violation notice and a notice of any pending proceeding, while also giving the Village of Patchogue Building Inspector at least 10 days' advance notice of the transaction along with the names and addresses of all parties involved.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 238-3, property owners and managers operating in Patchogue who have received a violation notice or face a pending proceeding under Chapter 238 generally ensure that any planned sale, lease, or mortgage transaction is either completed after full compliance and resolution of court matters, or is preceded by proper written disclosure to the incoming party and timely notice to the Village Building Inspector. Compliant operators typically document that the required 10-day advance notice was delivered to the Building Inspector, including the names and addresses of all transaction parties. Keeping thorough records of violation status and disclosure steps is a common practice for operators navigating property transfers under this provision.

Section 238-3 creates protections relevant to tenants entering into a lease on property that may be subject to an outstanding violation or pending proceeding under Patchogue's Chapter 238. Under this provision, a prospective tenant is entitled to receive a true copy of any such violation notice and a notice of any pending proceeding before the lease is executed. Tenants who believe they did not receive required disclosures may wish to contact the Village of Patchogue Building Inspector's office or consult a tenant-rights organization to understand what options may be available.
