Endicott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 160 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 160-16
Notice to abate violations; effect of failure to abate
Operative Text
Whenever upon inspection of any rooming house the enforcement officer finds that conditions or practices exist which are in violation of any provision of this chapter or any law or any legislation of the Village, the enforcement officer shall give notice in writing to the operator of such rooming house that unless such conditions or practices are corrected within a reasonable period, to be determined by the enforcement officer, the operator's rooming house permit will be suspended. At the end of such period, the enforcement officer shall reinspect such rooming house, and, if he finds such conditions or practices have not been corrected, he shall give notice in writing to the operator that the latter's permit has been suspended. Upon receipt of notice of suspension, such operator shall immediately cease operations of such rooming house, and no person shall occupy for sleeping or living purposes any rooming unit therein.
Under Endicott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 160 § 160-16, when an enforcement officer discovers violations at a rooming house, the operator receives a written notice giving a reasonable time to correct the problems. If the violations remain unaddressed after a follow-up inspection, the operator's rooming house permit is suspended in writing. Once suspended, operations must stop immediately and no one may use any unit in the building for sleeping or living.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to ch. 160 § 160-16 generally maintain rooming houses in continuous compliance with Village code so that inspections do not trigger a correction notice. When a written notice is issued, compliant operators address every cited condition within the timeframe the enforcement officer specifies and document the corrective steps taken before the reinspection. Failure to resolve violations by reinspection results in permit suspension and an immediate obligation to cease all rooming-house operations.

Section 160-16 of Endicott's rooming-house code protects occupants by requiring that permit suspensions be issued in writing and that operations stop immediately once a suspension takes effect, meaning no one may lawfully be required to remain in a suspended rooming house. Tenants who observe ongoing violations at their rooming house may contact the Village enforcement officer to request an inspection under this chapter. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help residents understand what options are available when a rooming house permit is suspended or when violations go unaddressed.
