Rye, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 108 § 108-49
Notice of violation
Operative Text
Whenever the Building Inspector determines that there has been a violation of any of the provisions of this chapter or any rule or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, he shall give notice of such violation or alleged violation to the person or persons responsible for the violation. Such notice shall specify in writing the alleged violation, provide a reasonable time for compliance and be served upon the owner, agent, operator or occupant, as the case may require.
Under Rye, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 108 § 108-49, when the Building Inspector identifies a violation—or alleged violation—of the chapter's provisions or related rules, a written notice must be issued to the responsible party. That notice must describe the specific violation and allow a reasonable period of time for the violator to come into compliance. The notice may be directed to an owner, agent, operator, or occupant, depending on who bears responsibility for the condition at issue.

Property owners and managers subject to Rye, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 108 § 108-49 should be aware that the Building Inspector is authorized to serve written violation notices directly on owners, agents, or operators. A compliant operator generally maintains records of any such notices received, tracks the compliance deadline stated in the notice, and takes documented corrective action within the time allowed. Keeping lines of communication open with the Building Inspector's office is a common practice when questions arise about the scope or timeline of a required correction.
