East Rochester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 111 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 111-14
Continuation of violation; notice of action by Board
Operative Text
If it shall be determined by the Board of Trustees after such public hearing that there is a failure of a responsible party to comply with any violation order within the time specified herein and that the property continues to exist and is being maintained in violation of this chapter, the Board shall make a finding to that effect, and the minutes of the meeting and a copy of the findings shall be made by the Town/Village Clerk-Treasurer and transmitted by registered or certified mail, or by any other method of service as provided for in the Civil Practice Law and Rules, to said property owner and to the occupants of said premises. Said determination shall contain the steps that will be taken by the Board of Trustees to discontinue and remedy said violation.
Section 111-14 of East Rochester's Code of Ordinances ch. 111 establishes what happens when a property owner fails to correct a housing violation within the required timeframe. After a public hearing, the Board of Trustees may formally find that the violation persists and document that finding in the meeting minutes. A copy of those findings, along with the steps the Board intends to take to remedy the situation, must then be sent by registered or certified mail—or another legally recognized method—to both the property owner and the occupants of the property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 111-14, a compliant property owner generally resolves any outstanding violation before the Board of Trustees convenes a public hearing to assess continued noncompliance. If the Board makes a formal finding against a property, the owner can expect to receive official written notice—sent by registered or certified mail or equivalent service—detailing both the finding and the remedial steps the Board plans to pursue. Operators who track violation deadlines carefully and document completed repairs are better positioned to demonstrate compliance before the Board reaches the finding stage.

Section 111-14 gives tenants a direct stake in the enforcement process: if a violation at their residence remains unaddressed, the Board of Trustees is required to send occupants a copy of its formal findings and the planned remedial steps by registered or certified mail or equivalent service. Tenants who receive such a notice have documentation that the Board has officially recognized the ongoing violation, which may be useful when engaging with local housing authorities or tenant-rights organizations. Those with questions about what the Board's planned steps mean for their living situation may wish to contact the East Rochester Town/Village Clerk-Treasurer's office or a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
