Pelham, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 54 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 54-5
Manner of execution of work
Operative Text
Where enforcement of a provision of this code causes any repairs, alterations or changes to buildings, such repairs, alterations or changes shall be done in a workmanlike manner and shall comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, codes and regulations having jurisdiction in the Village of Pelham, including regulations concerning permits, inspections and approvals.
Section 54-5 of Pelham's Code of Ordinances establishes that whenever code enforcement triggers repairs, alterations, or changes to a building, that work must be carried out in a workmanlike manner. The provision also requires that all such work comply with every applicable law, ordinance, code, and regulation in effect in the Village of Pelham—including rules governing permits, inspections, and approvals. In other words, compliance with one code requirement does not excuse non-compliance with any other applicable standard.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 54-5, property owners and managers who undertake repairs, alterations, or changes in response to code enforcement are expected to ensure that the work meets professional workmanship standards and satisfies all relevant Village of Pelham requirements. Compliant operators typically secure the necessary permits before work begins, schedule required inspections, and obtain final approvals before considering the matter closed. Keeping documentation of permits, inspection records, and contractor qualifications is a common practice for demonstrating adherence to § 54-5.

Section 54-5 establishes that any building work triggered by code enforcement in Pelham must meet workmanlike standards and satisfy all applicable local laws, permits, and inspection requirements—not just the minimum needed to address the cited violation. If repairs made to a rental unit appear to have been done poorly or without required permits or inspections, tenants may have grounds to raise that concern with local code enforcement authorities. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Village of Pelham regulations can help residents understand what documentation to request and what options may be available under § 54-5.
