East Rochester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 111 § 111-9 places the burden of abatement squarely on the property. Compliant operators generally maintain dwellings, dwelling units, yards, and courts in a condition that avoids a nuisance declaration in the first place, and when a Health Officer order is issued, they respond promptly by correcting deficiencies, making repairs, or taking whatever abatement action the order specifies. Keeping records of inspections, maintenance work, and correspondence with the Health Officer is a practice commonly associated with orderly compliance.
