Sleepy Hollow — Title 4 Ch. 6 Property Maintenance; Removals § 4-6-4
Release of liens
Operative Text
Upon payment of the cost and expense, after notice of lien has been recorded, the lien shall be released by the village, or by the person in whose name the lien has been filed, and a release of lien document shall be forwarded to the property owner as soon as practicable thereafter.
Under Sleepy Hollow Title 4 Ch. 6 § 4-6-4, once a property owner pays the costs and expenses associated with a recorded lien, the village or the lienholder is required to formally release that lien. A release-of-lien document must then be sent to the property owner as soon as practicable. This provision ensures that payment of the underlying debt results in a documented, official clearing of the encumbrance on the property record.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 4-6-4, property owners who have had a lien recorded against their property can obtain a formal release by paying the full costs and expenses tied to that lien. Compliant operators typically retain copies of all payment records and confirm receipt of the release-of-lien document to ensure their property title reflects the cleared status. Keeping organized records of lien notices, payments, and release documents is a practice generally associated with smooth property management and title clarity.

While § 4-6-4 primarily governs the relationship between the village and property owners regarding lien releases, tenants may have an indirect interest in whether liens on a rental property have been properly resolved, as unresolved liens can affect property ownership and habitability. Tenants who have concerns about liens or property maintenance issues in Sleepy Hollow can contact the village directly to inquire about recorded liens under Title 4 Ch. 6. Tenant-rights organizations can also help explain how property liens may relate to a tenant's housing situation.
