Operative Text
Whenever the Commissioner determines that a dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house or rooming unit is unfit for human habitation as provided in § 12-140 , he shall give notice of such violation or alleged violation to the person or persons responsible for such violation. Such notice shall be in writing and shall specify the alleged violation and shall provide a reasonable time for compliance and shall be served upon the owner, agent, operator or occupant, as the case may require. Such notice shall be deemed to be properly served upon such owner, agent, operator or occupant if a copy thereof is sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, to the last known address of such person, or if a copy is posted in a conspicuous place in or about the building affected by the notice, and if a copy is mailed by registered mail on the same day it is posted to the owner, agent, operator or occupant; or by such other method authorized by the laws of the State of New York. Such notice shall inform the person to whom it is directed of his right to apply for a hearing before the Board of Trustees of the Village of Tuckahoe as provided in § 12-143 of this chapter. Such notice may contain an outline of remedial action which, if taken, will affect compliance with the provisions of this chapter and with rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto.
