Violation; notice; order to remedy
Operative Text
A. It shall be unlawful for any persons, partnership, corporation, or entity to use a dwelling or structure as a housing rental unit without issuance of a rental permit from the Code Enforcement Officer pursuant to this chapter. B. In the event that a violation of this chapter or of the Uniform Code or any other applicable law, ordinance or regulation is found in any existing building structure, a list of violations with the specific code numbers shall be sent to the owner or landlord and corrected within a period not exceeding 30 days. C. If, upon a follow-up inspection, the violations are found to still exist, the Code Enforcement Officer shall issue an order to remedy and inform the person in violation of the penalties involved and grant, as a time limit, a maximum amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
Section 190-9 of Elbridge's housing code makes it unlawful to operate a residential rental unit without first obtaining a rental permit from the Code Enforcement Officer. When a code violation is identified in an existing rental structure, the owner or landlord receives written notice listing the specific violation codes and has up to 30 days to correct them. If a follow-up inspection reveals the violations remain unresolved, the Code Enforcement Officer may issue a formal order to remedy, notify the responsible party of applicable penalties, and set a final correction deadline of no more than 30 days.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 190-9, compliant rental operators in Elbridge secure a valid rental permit from the Code Enforcement Officer before placing any unit into service. When a violation notice is received, operators generally document the cited code numbers, complete all required repairs, and confirm corrections within the 30-day window to avoid a formal order to remedy. If a follow-up inspection is scheduled, having records of completed work on hand helps demonstrate compliance and may prevent escalation to the penalty stage described in § 190-9(C).
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 190-9 establishes that rental units in Elbridge must be permitted and kept free of code violations, which provides a baseline of habitability protections for renters. If a tenant believes their unit has code violations, they may contact the Elbridge Code Enforcement Officer, who has authority under § 190-9 to inspect, issue violation notices, and ultimately order remediation. Tenants can also consult a local tenant-rights organization to understand how an unresolved order to remedy under this provision might be relevant to their situation.
