Saugerties Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 142 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 142-15

A. Upon the failure of an owner, occupant or operator having management or control of any property within the Village to maintain the premises in accordance with the requirements of this chapter, except for those requirements set forth in § 142-14 of this chapter for violations of snow and ice removal, and after five days' notice of said violation(s) is personally served on such owner, tenant or occupant by any duly appointed law enforcement officer of the Village of Saugerties [or within 10 days after the date of such notice in the event same is served by posting and mailing pursuant to the requirements of Subsection B(1) of § 142-7 of this chapter, or in the event said notice is returned to the Village because of inability to make delivery thereof], the Village may perform the same, and the property owner, tenant, occupant or other responsible person shall be liable to the Village for an amount equal to the actual cost of having the work performed, plus an administrative fee of $50 as compensation to the Village for supervising, administering and handling such work. B. The Code Enforcement Officer, Building Inspector, and any other duly appointed law enforcement officer of the Village of Saugerties is authorized to enforce this section of this chapter by submitting a written report thereof to the Board of Trustees within 10 days of the correction or removal of any violation(s) of this chapter. Said report shall describe the actions taken and shall include a compilation of all costs and expenses incurred by the Village. At the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Trustees, the Board shall confirm said costs and expenses, together with the administrative fee of $50, as an assessment against the real property involved, by duly adopted resolution. The property owner shall be given written notice of the actions taken and a compilation of all costs and expenses, including the administrative fee, at least 10 days before the aforementioned Board of Trustees meeting, wherein the property owner shall be given the opportunity to be heard regarding the charge to be imposed and to assert any objections thereto. C. A notice shall be deemed sufficient if delivered to the owner, occupant or operator in person or by certified mail to the property postal address and, if different, to the last known address of the owner appearing on the most recent tax rolls of the Village. D. Upon the adoption of a resolution by the Board of Trustees, the charge shall be billed to the owner of the premises abutting the sidewalk and mailed to him by the Village Treasurer or Village Clerk within five business days following the adoption of the resolution, and, if not paid in full to the Village Treasurer or Village Clerk by the tax collection date next following, a lien upon the premises abutting the sidewalk shall be collected by the Village Treasurer as an assessment upon said premises on the next real property tax statements issued by the Village Treasurer as provided by law. A copy of said resolution shall be mailed to the address of the resident involved, as said address appears upon the latest assessment roll of the Village of Saugerties. E. The collection of this charge shall not preclude the Village from pursuing any other civil or criminal remedies which may be available to enforce the violation of this chapter. F. Where violations of this chapter exist and pose an immediate hazard or danger to the health, safety or welfare of building occupants or of the public, the enforcement officer may issue an order citing the violation and directing such action by such municipal agency as is necessary to immediately remove or abate the hazards or danger without further notice to the property owner or person in possession being cited.
