Fort Edward, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 79A (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 79A-8
Fees
Operative Text
A nonrefundable fee per rental unit in the amount adopted by the Town Board pursuant to Town Code § 50-1 and listed on the Fee Schedule will be charged to the landlord/owner if, on initial inspection, the rental unit is found to be noncompliant with codes, requiring a second inspection by the Code Enforcement Officer.
Under Fort Edward, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 79A § 79A-8, when a rental unit fails its initial code inspection and a second inspection by the Code Enforcement Officer becomes necessary, the landlord or owner is charged a nonrefundable fee for each noncompliant unit. The fee amount is not fixed in this provision itself but is set by the Town Board under Town Code § 50-1 and published on the official Fee Schedule. This fee applies per rental unit and is triggered specifically by the need for a follow-up inspection due to initial noncompliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 79A § 79A-8, operators who ensure their rental units meet applicable code standards before the initial inspection avoid the nonrefundable re-inspection fee altogether. Compliant landlords typically review the current Fee Schedule adopted under Town Code § 50-1 so they understand the per-unit cost that would apply if a second inspection is required. Keeping units in continuous code compliance is the most straightforward way to avoid triggering this fee.
