Recording of orders
Operative Text
Whenever an order has been issued for any infraction of this chapter or other law or ordinance designated, the Code Enforcement Officer may file a copy of such order in the office of the City Clerk/Treasurer.
Under Canandaigua, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 748 § 748-18, when a code enforcement order is issued for a violation of the housing chapter or another designated law or ordinance, the Code Enforcement Officer has the discretion to file a copy of that order with the City Clerk/Treasurer's office. This creates an official public record of the enforcement action tied to the property. The provision does not require filing in every case — it grants the officer the option to do so.

Property owners and managers subject to enforcement actions under ch. 748 § 748-18 should be aware that a copy of any order issued against a property may be placed on file with the City Clerk/Treasurer. Compliant operators generally resolve cited violations promptly, in part because a recorded order can become part of the property's public record and may be visible to prospective buyers, lenders, or insurers. Keeping documentation of corrective actions taken can be useful if questions arise about the status of a recorded order.
