Pelham, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 54 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 54-26
Second notice
Operative Text
If, upon reinspection, the alleged violation is determined by the Enforcement Officer or the Assistant Enforcement Officers not to have been corrected, a second notice of violation may be issued requiring correction of the condition within a reasonable time, depending on the seriousness of the violation. In addition, the Enforcement Officer may require a meeting with the property owner or violator if the condition is hazardous or imminently hazardous to determine why the notice was not honored and/or to establish a compliance schedule to assist in a tenant education program.
Under Pelham, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 54 § 54-26, if a reinspection reveals that a previously cited violation has not been corrected, the Enforcement Officer or Assistant Enforcement Officers may issue a second notice of violation. This second notice sets a new correction deadline calibrated to how serious the violation is. When the uncorrected condition is hazardous or imminently hazardous, the Enforcement Officer may also require a meeting with the property owner to understand why the first notice went unaddressed and to establish a compliance schedule, which may be connected to a tenant education program.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners operating under Pelham, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 54 § 54-26 generally ensure that any cited violation is fully corrected before a scheduled reinspection, because a finding of non-compliance can trigger a second notice with a new—and potentially shorter—deadline. When a condition is classified as hazardous or imminently hazardous, compliant operators typically respond promptly to any meeting request from the Enforcement Officer and come prepared to explain remediation steps and timelines. Maintaining documentation of repair efforts and contractor communications can help demonstrate good-faith progress toward compliance.

Section 54-26 of Pelham's Code of Ordinances provides a mechanism that can benefit tenants when a landlord fails to correct a cited violation after the first notice: the Enforcement Officer may issue a second notice and, for hazardous conditions, may require the property owner to meet and establish a compliance schedule. Tenants who believe a violation remains uncorrected after an initial inspection may contact the Enforcement Officer's office to inquire about reinspection status under this provision. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help residents understand what options are generally available when a landlord does not address a cited condition.
