Davis Junction — Ch. 26 Art. III Vacant Building and Property Regulations § 26-216
Certification
Operative Text
A certificate of code compliance for vacant buildings issued by the village and payment in full of all fees imposed pursuant to this article are required prior to any occupancy of a vacant building.
Under Davis Junction Ch. 26 Art. III § 26-216, a vacant building must receive a village-issued certificate of code compliance and all associated fees under Article III must be paid in full before anyone may occupy that building. This rule creates a two-part prerequisite — certification and full payment — that must both be satisfied before lawful occupancy can begin. The provision applies to any vacant building subject to the village's vacant building and property regulations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners managing vacant buildings in Davis Junction should be aware that § 26-216 requires obtaining a certificate of code compliance from the village and clearing all outstanding Article III fees before allowing any tenant or occupant to move in. Compliant operators typically schedule inspections well in advance of an anticipated occupancy date to allow time for any required corrections and fee processing. Keeping records of the issued certificate and payment receipts helps demonstrate compliance with this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 26-216, a prospective occupant of a formerly vacant building in Davis Junction has an interest in confirming that the village has issued a certificate of code compliance and that all Article III fees have been paid before move-in. If occupancy occurred without these prerequisites being met, that fact may be relevant to raising a violation under the village's vacant building regulations. Tenant-rights organizations or a local attorney familiar with Davis Junction municipal code can help clarify what remedies or defenses may be available in such a situation.
