Syracuse, N.Y., Rev. Gen. Ord. ch. 54 § 54-15
Notification to county of violations
Operative Text
The city shall continue to send notices to the County of Onondaga listing any health and safety violations found in properties inspected by the city. Any violation of section 54-5 shall be included on that list.
Under Syracuse Rev. Gen. Ord. ch. 54 § 54-15, the City of Syracuse is required to share information about health and safety violations discovered during property inspections with Onondaga County. Violations of section 54-5 must specifically be included in these notices. This creates an intergovernmental reporting mechanism that keeps county authorities informed about the condition of inspected properties.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Syracuse Rev. Gen. Ord. ch. 54 § 54-15 means that health and safety violations found during city inspections—including any section 54-5 violations—are not confined to city records but are also transmitted to Onondaga County. Compliant property operators generally work to resolve cited violations promptly, since the violation record reaches county-level authorities as well. Maintaining properties in good repair before inspections occur is a common practice among operators seeking to avoid entries on that shared list.

Under Syracuse Rev. Gen. Ord. ch. 54 § 54-15, tenants can be aware that health and safety violations identified by city inspectors, including those under section 54-5, are reported to Onondaga County—meaning the violation record exists at more than one level of government. This broader documentation can be relevant when tenants seek to understand the inspection history of a property. Tenants interested in learning about violations on record may consider contacting the City of Syracuse or Onondaga County directly, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on accessing that information.
