Rye, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 108 § 108-52
Extension of time for compliance
Operative Text
The Building Inspector may extend the compliance time specified in any notice or order issued under the provisions of this chapter where there is evidence of an intent to comply within the period specified, provided that reasonable conditions exist which prevent immediate compliance.
Under Rye, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 108 § 108-52, the Building Inspector has discretionary authority to grant additional time beyond a compliance deadline set in a notice or order. Two conditions must be present for an extension to be considered: the recipient must have demonstrated an intent to comply, and there must be reasonable circumstances that make immediate compliance impractical. The provision does not create an automatic right to an extension; it is a discretionary tool available to the Building Inspector.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to a notice or order under ch. 108 § 108-52 who anticipate difficulty meeting a compliance deadline generally document their intent to comply and identify the specific conditions preventing timely action. Operators who communicate proactively with the Building Inspector—providing evidence such as contractor schedules, permit applications, or supply delays—tend to present the clearest case for a discretionary extension. Maintaining written records of all correspondence with the Building Inspector regarding any requested extension is a common practice among compliant operators.

Section 108-52 of Rye's Code of Ordinances gives the Building Inspector the power to extend deadlines for landlords or property owners, but only when genuine intent to comply and reasonable obstacles are both present. Tenants who are aware of an open violation affecting their unit may wish to monitor whether extensions are being granted and whether conditions at the property are actually improving. Tenant-rights organizations and local housing advocacy groups can help residents understand how this discretionary process works and what options may be available if a property's violations remain unresolved.
