Westbury, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 83-19
Notice or orders
Operative Text
All notice or orders required to be given hereunder may be served by delivering to and leaving a copy of the same with the person entitled to such notice. In case where any such person is absent from the Village, all notices or orders provided for herein shall be sent by registered mail to said person, so absent, to the last known address of said person or to the last address of said person as shown by the records of the Receiver of Taxes and/or in the office of the County Clerk of Nassau County. Whenever such service is made by registered mail, a copy of such notice or order shall also be posted in a conspicuous place on the front of said dangerous building or substandard building to which it relates. Such mailing and posting shall be deemed adequate service.
Section 83-19 of Westbury, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 establishes how official notices and orders related to dangerous or substandard buildings must be delivered. When the recipient is present in the Village, delivery is made in person. When the recipient is absent, the notice is sent by registered mail to their last known address—drawn from tax records or Nassau County Clerk records—and a copy is also posted visibly on the front of the affected building. Both the mailing and the posting together constitute valid, legally sufficient service under this provision.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners subject to a notice or order under ch. 83 § 83-19 should ensure their current mailing address is accurately reflected in the Village's Receiver of Taxes records and the Nassau County Clerk's office, since those are the sources the Village uses when a recipient cannot be reached in person. A compliant property owner generally monitors registered mail carefully, as delivery by that method—combined with posting on the building—is treated as full legal service even without a signature confirmation. Staying reachable through up-to-date records helps ensure that any notice regarding a dangerous or substandard building is received promptly.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants living in a building that has been designated dangerous or substandard under ch. 83 § 83-19 may observe a posted notice on the front of the building, which signals that registered-mail service to the owner has also been initiated. This posting is not merely informational—it is part of the legally recognized service process, meaning the owner is considered officially notified once both steps are completed. Tenants who have concerns about a dangerous or substandard building can contact the Village of Westbury's relevant code enforcement office or reach out to a tenant-rights organization to understand what options may be available to them.
