Correction of violations
Operative Text
Any such violations found by the Village Code Enforcement Official shall be corrected before the premises shall be occupied and a tenancy certificate of occupancy issued.
Under Valatie, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 261 § 261-5, any violations identified by the Village Code Enforcement Official must be fully corrected before a rental unit can be occupied and before a tenancy certificate of occupancy is issued. This rule creates a sequential requirement: correction of violations comes first, and the certificate follows only after that correction is complete. The provision effectively ties the legal right to occupy a rental premises to the resolution of outstanding code violations.
