Bellport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 13 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 13-4
Failure to maintain
Operative Text
In the event that the Building Inspector of the Village of Bellport shall determine that any premises subject to this chapter shall be lacking, damaged or otherwise in violation, the village board shall have the right to direct the appropriate agencies of the village to erect, replace, repair or maintain or cause to be erected, replaced, repaired or maintained any and all deficiencies after the owner of the land has been notified by registered mail at the address shown on the last previous assessment roll maintained by the village receiver of taxes, of the lack, damage or other violation of this chapter upon his land and is not repaired, replaced or otherwise corrected by or on behalf of such owner within 30 days after receipt of such notice, all costs and expenses incurred by the village in performing said work shall be assessed against the land on which said work shall be required to be done and shall be added to the tax bill applicable to said property for the next taxable period.
Under Bellport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 13 § 13-4, when the Village Building Inspector finds that a property covered by this chapter has deficiencies, damage, or violations, the village board may direct village agencies to carry out the necessary repairs or corrections. Before the village acts, the property owner must receive written notice by registered mail at the address on the village tax assessment roll, and is given 30 days from receipt of that notice to fix the problem. If the owner does not correct the deficiency within that window, the village may perform the work itself and recover all costs by adding them as a charge to the property's next tax bill.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners subject to Bellport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 13 § 13-4 generally keep their premises in compliance so that the Building Inspector does not identify deficiencies requiring notice. A compliant operator ensures that the address on the village receiver of taxes' assessment roll is current, since that is where any registered-mail notice under this section would be sent. Operators who receive such a notice typically address all cited deficiencies within the 30-day correction period to avoid the village performing the work and placing the resulting costs as a lien-like charge on the next property tax bill.

Tenants living on premises covered by Bellport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 13 § 13-4 may have an interest in knowing that the village has an independent mechanism to address unresolved property deficiencies when an owner fails to act after proper notice. If conditions on the property appear to violate this chapter, tenants can contact the Village of Bellport Building Inspector's office to inquire about an inspection. Tenant-rights organizations and local legal aid offices can help residents understand how this provision interacts with other housing protections and what general options may be available.
