Property owners and managers operating in Potsdam should be aware that under § 219-11, the Code Enforcement Officer compiles and reports all enforcement activity—including inspections, transactions, and any appeals or litigation—to both the Town Board and the Secretary of State on an annual basis. This means that enforcement actions, violations, and related proceedings connected to a property become part of an official record that is reviewed and reported at the state level. Compliant operators generally maintain accurate records of any interactions with the Code Enforcement Office, as those interactions may appear in the annual summary.
