Pelham, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 54 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 54-25
Service of notice
Operative Text
Notice of violation shall be served as follows: A. By personal service; or B. By registered or certified mail to the person whose name and address has been filed with this Department in accordance with this code, and, if desired, to the occupant a copy of such notice; or C. If the current name and address of the person upon whom an order may be served is not on file, by posting a copy of the notice in a conspicuous place on the premises and by mailing another copy to the premises, addressed to the owner, lessor or his respective agent.
Section 54-25 of Pelham, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 54 establishes three methods by which a notice of violation may be officially delivered: direct personal service, registered or certified mail to the address on file with the Department, or — when no current address is on file — by posting a copy conspicuously on the property and mailing another copy to the premises addressed to the owner, lessor, or their agent. The method used depends on what contact information the Department has available. Occupants may also receive a copy of the notice when the mailing method is used, though this is at the Department's discretion.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 54-25 of Pelham's Code of Ordinances ch. 54, compliant property owners and managers generally keep a current name and mailing address on file with the Department, which ensures that any notice of violation reaches them promptly through registered or certified mail rather than by posting on the premises. Operators who maintain accurate records with the Department are better positioned to receive timely notice and respond within any applicable deadlines. Reviewing and updating filed contact information whenever ownership, management, or mailing addresses change is a practice consistent with this provision's requirements.

Section 54-25 of Pelham, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 54 governs how notices of violation are formally served, which can affect whether an owner has received proper notice of a code issue at a rental property. Tenants who observe that a notice has been posted conspicuously on the premises may recognize this as the Department's fallback method when no owner address is on file. Tenants with concerns about code violations or notice procedures may wish to contact the relevant municipal Department, review their local tenant-rights resources, or consult a housing attorney or tenant-rights organization for general information about how this process applies.
