Albany, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 231 § 231-108 establishes the process by which the City formally notifies responsible parties of housing code violations. When authorized City personnel determine that a violation has occurred or that reasonable grounds exist to believe one has occurred, they must issue a written notice that identifies the specific violation and sets a compliance deadline. That deadline cannot exceed 30 days, and the notice must be served according to the procedures outlined in Chapter 133A of the Albany City Code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Albany, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 231 § 231-108, compliant property operators treat any written notice of violation as a time-sensitive document, since the compliance window can be as short as a few days and cannot exceed 30 days from the date of the order. Operators generally maintain records of all notices received, track the specified deadlines carefully, and document corrective actions taken to demonstrate compliance before the deadline expires. Keeping current contact information on file with the City can help ensure that notices served under Chapter 133A reach the responsible party without delay.

Albany, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 231 § 231-108 gives tenants an important reference point: when City inspectors identify a housing code violation, a formal written notice must be issued to the responsible party with a mandatory correction deadline of no more than 30 days. Tenants who are aware of unaddressed conditions in their unit may contact Albany's code enforcement office to inquire whether a notice of violation has been issued and whether the compliance deadline has passed. Tenant-rights organizations in the Albany area can help residents understand how an outstanding notice of violation might be relevant to housing court proceedings or other enforcement paths available under local law.
