Request for hearing
Operative Text
A. Any person affected by any notice of violation issued in connection with the enforcement of any provision of this law as provided in § 197-22 or of any rule or regulation adopted pursuant thereto may request and shall be granted a hearing before the Board of Trustees, provided that such person shall file, in the office of the Commissioner and Village Clerk, a written request for such hearing, setting forth a brief statement of the grounds therefor, designating the person and his address upon whom orders may be served and setting forth the reasons why such notice of violation should be modified or withdrawn. If this request is filed within 10 days after the service of notice of violation, compliance with such notice shall not be required while the hearing is pending. B. Final order. Any notice of violation provided for in § 197-23 shall automatically become a final order if written request for a hearing is not filed in the office of the Commissioner and Village Clerk within 10 days after receipt of the notice. A copy of the order shall be served as provided in § 197-23 of this law.
Section 197-25 of Port Chester's Code of Ordinances establishes a hearing process for anyone who receives a notice of violation under the village's housing law. A person who disagrees with a violation notice may request a formal hearing before the Board of Trustees by submitting a written request within 10 days of receiving the notice. If that request is filed on time, the person is not required to comply with the notice while the hearing is pending. If no request is filed within that 10-day window, the notice of violation automatically becomes a final order.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 197-25, property owners and managers who receive a notice of violation have a narrow 10-day window to contest it by filing a written hearing request with the Commissioner and Village Clerk. A compliant operator who disputes a notice typically submits a written request that includes a brief statement of grounds, the reasons the notice should be modified or withdrawn, and a designated address for service of orders. Operators who do not act within that period should be aware that the notice converts automatically into a final order under the same section.

Section 197-25 gives tenants and other affected persons the right to request a hearing before the Board of Trustees if they receive a notice of violation connected to the enforcement of Port Chester's housing law. That request must be filed in writing with the Commissioner and Village Clerk within 10 days of receiving the notice, and doing so generally suspends any compliance obligation while the hearing is pending. Tenants navigating this process may find it helpful to consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand the options available under § 197-25.
