Pelham, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 54 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 54-28
Recording of violation notice
Operative Text
Whenever a notice or order has been issued for any infraction of this code, the Enforcement Officer or the Assistant Enforcement Officers shall keep on file a copy of such notice or order in the Department. This recording shall constitute notice of such violation, infraction or order to any subsequent purchaser, transferee, grantee, mortgagee or lessee of the property affected thereby.
Under Pelham, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 54 § 54-28, whenever an enforcement notice or order is issued for a code violation, the Enforcement Officer or Assistant Enforcement Officers are required to keep a copy of that notice or order on file within the Department. That filed record serves as official notice of the violation or order to anyone who later acquires an interest in the property — whether as a buyer, transferee, grantee, mortgagee, or tenant. In other words, the existence of a filed violation follows the property itself, not just the person who owned or controlled it when the violation was issued.

Property owners and managers operating under Pelham, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 54 § 54-28 should be aware that any enforcement notice or order issued against a property is recorded on file with the Department and attaches to the property as a matter of public record. Compliant operators typically resolve outstanding violations before transferring, selling, or refinancing a property, since the recorded notice will be visible to any subsequent purchaser, mortgagee, or lessee. Maintaining clear records of violation resolutions and obtaining written confirmation of closure from the Enforcement Officer are practices commonly associated with responsible property management under this provision.

Under Pelham, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 54 § 54-28, tenants are among the parties who receive constructive legal notice of any recorded violation or enforcement order affecting a property they lease. This means that a violation filed with the Department is considered known to a tenant as a matter of law, regardless of whether it was disclosed directly. Tenants who want to understand the violation history of a property they occupy or are considering leasing may look into requesting records from the Department, or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with Pelham's code enforcement process.
