Fallsburg, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 218 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 218-17
Maintenance after casualty damage
Operative Text
A. Within a period of 30 days after casualty damage to any premises, the owner and operator shall take the following steps: (1) Contract for the repair and restoration of damaged areas and removal of all related debris; and (2) Contract for the demolition and removal of any part of the premises not to be repaired and restored and for the removal of debris in connection therewith. B. The work to repair, restore, demolish or remove, as set forth above, must be completed within 90 days after the casualty damage occurs.
Under Fallsburg, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 218 § 218-17, when a property suffers casualty damage, the owner and operator face two firm deadlines. Within 30 days of the damage, they must have contracts in place—either for repair and debris removal, or for demolition and removal of any portions not being restored. All of that contracted work must then be fully completed within 90 days of the casualty event.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Section 218-17 of the Fallsburg Code sets a strict two-stage timeline that compliant property owners and operators follow after any casualty event. Within the first 30 days, operators generally secure written contracts covering repair, restoration, and debris removal—or, for portions not being saved, demolition and removal contracts. Operators also track the 90-day completion deadline carefully, since both the contracting and the finished work are separate obligations under this provision.

Section 218-17 gives tenants a clear benchmark for evaluating whether an owner is responding adequately after a casualty event: contracts should be in place within 30 days and all work finished within 90 days. If an owner appears to be missing these deadlines, tenants may document the conditions and consider reaching out to Fallsburg's local code enforcement office to report a potential violation. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York housing law can also help residents understand what options may be available when a landlord fails to meet the maintenance obligations set out in this provision.
