Operative Text
At least five days prior to the enforcement of the order by the Town/Village, a registered or certified letter shall be transmitted to the owner of said premises and the mortgagee, if any, if his name is known to the Town/Village Clerk-Treasurer or can be ascertained by reasonable inquiry, advising that the order is to be enforced and carried out as above set forth; and within said period, a notice of intention shall be posted on the structure proceeded against. Notice by any other method of service as provided for in the Civil Practice Law and Rules, in lieu of a registered or certified letter as above stated, shall also be permitted.
Under East Rochester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 111 § 111-16, before the Town/Village carries out an enforcement order against a property, it must give advance written notice to the property owner and any known mortgagee at least five days beforehand. This notice must be sent by registered or certified mail, though other service methods recognized under New York's Civil Practice Law and Rules are also acceptable. During that same five-day window, a notice of intention must be physically posted on the structure that is the subject of the order.

Property owners subject to an enforcement order under ch. 111 § 111-16 can generally expect to receive at least five days' advance written notice before the Town/Village acts, delivered by registered or certified mail to the address on record with the Clerk-Treasurer. Operators who keep their contact information current with the Town/Village Clerk-Treasurer help ensure that any such notice reaches them in time. Owners who receive this notice, or observe a posted notice of intention on their structure, typically review the underlying order and consult appropriate professionals to understand the scope of the required action.

Section 111-16 of East Rochester's Code of Ordinances establishes a procedural protection requiring the Town/Village to provide at least five days' written notice before enforcing an order against a property, with a physical notice also posted on the structure. Tenants who observe a posted notice of intention on their building may use that as a signal to inquire with the Town/Village Clerk-Treasurer about the nature of the underlying order and its potential impact on their housing. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help residents understand what an enforcement action under ch. 111 § 111-16 may mean for their occupancy.
