Port Chester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 197 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 197-30
Recording of notice
Operative Text
Whenever a notice, order or complaint has been issued for any infraction of this law, the Commissioner may file a copy of such notice, order or complaint in his office. Such recording shall constitute appropriate information of such notice, order or complaint to any subsequent purchaser, transferee, grantee, mortgagee or lessee of the property affected thereby.
Under Port Chester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 197 § 197-30, when a notice, order, or complaint is issued for a violation of the housing law, the Commissioner has the authority to file a copy of that document in the official office records. Once filed, that recorded copy serves as formal notice to anyone who later buys, receives, mortgages, or leases the affected property — meaning future parties to a transaction cannot claim ignorance of the outstanding violation.

Property owners and managers subject to Port Chester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 197 § 197-30 should be aware that any unresolved notice, order, or complaint may be placed on official record by the Commissioner. A compliant operator generally resolves outstanding violations promptly, since a recorded filing follows the property and becomes binding notice to future buyers, lenders, and tenants. Operators involved in a sale or transfer of a property with open violations typically disclose and address those issues as part of the transaction process.

Under Port Chester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 197 § 197-30, tenants and prospective tenants have an interest in knowing whether a property carries any recorded notices, orders, or complaints filed by the Commissioner. Because such recordings constitute official notice to all subsequent parties — including lessees — individuals considering renting a property may look into whether any filings exist in the Commissioner's office records. Tenant-rights organizations or local housing offices can help explain how to search for recorded violations and what options may be available when a property has outstanding infractions.
General guidance for tenants — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult a tenant-rights organization or attorney for advice on your case.
