Greece, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 162A (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 162A-11
Action in cases of noncompliance
Operative Text
A. Whenever a notice or notices referred to above have been given, and the violations continue to exist beyond the time specified in the notice or notices, the Building Inspector or his/her duly authorized representative may authorize the work to be done and pay the cost thereof out of general Town funds. B. The Town shall be reimbursed for the cost of the work performed or services rendered by direction of the Building Inspector or his/her representative, as hereinabove provided, by assessment and levy upon the lots or parcels of land wherein such work was performed or such services rendered, and the expense so assessed shall constitute a lien and charge on the real property on which it is levied until paid or otherwise satisfied or discharged and shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as other Town charges.
Under Greece, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 162A § 162A-11, when a property owner fails to correct a cited violation within the timeframe stated in a notice, the Town of Greece is authorized to step in and have the necessary work completed using general Town funds. The Town then recovers its costs by placing an assessment against the property where the work was performed. That assessment becomes a lien on the real property and is collected alongside other Town charges until it is fully paid or otherwise resolved.

Under ch. 162A § 162A-11, compliant property owners in Greece, N.Y. generally respond to Building Inspector notices promptly and complete required corrective work before the deadline stated in the notice. Failing to do so opens the door for the Town to perform the work itself and charge the full cost back to the property through a formal assessment and lien. Operators typically keep records of completed repairs and any correspondence with the Building Inspector to document timely compliance.

Section 162A-11 of Greece, N.Y.'s Code of Ordinances establishes a mechanism that can result in the Town itself correcting unresolved property violations when a landlord ignores official notices. While this provision is primarily directed at the property owner's obligations to the Town, tenants living in a property with outstanding violations may find it relevant context when exploring their options. Tenants can contact the Greece Building Department to inquire about the status of any open notices on a property, and tenant-rights organizations can help identify additional avenues for addressing habitability concerns.
