Cochecton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 135 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 135-8
Reinspection
Operative Text
At the end of the time period specified in the notice of violation, it shall be the duty of the Town Building Inspector to make or cause to be made a reinspection of the dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house or rooming unit or premises, and if compliance has not been established, appropriate legal action shall be instituted.
Under Cochecton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 135 § 135-8, once the deadline stated in a notice of violation expires, the Town Building Inspector is required to return and reinspect the property. If the reinspection reveals that the cited conditions have not been corrected, the town is obligated to initiate legal proceedings. The provision creates a mandatory follow-up mechanism rather than leaving reinspection to the inspector's discretion.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Section 135-8 of Cochecton's housing code means that a notice of violation carries a built-in reinspection deadline that the Town Building Inspector is required to honor. Operators who receive a notice of violation generally document all corrective work completed before that deadline, so that compliance is clearly demonstrable at reinspection. Failure to achieve compliance by the stated date triggers a mandatory referral to legal action, making timely remediation a practical priority.

Section 135-8 gives tenants a degree of assurance that a notice of violation issued for their dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, or rooming unit will not simply be forgotten — the Town Building Inspector is duty-bound to reinspect once the correction deadline passes. If conditions remain uncorrected after reinspection, the town must pursue legal action, which tenants may be able to reference when asserting their rights. Tenants who believe a reinspection has not occurred as required can contact the Cochecton Town Building Inspector's office or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
