Kings Point, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 117 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 117-9
Notice of violation; abatement; hearings; appeals
Operative Text
A. An appearance ticket and/or a notice of violation may be issued by the Building Inspector for a violation of this chapter. It shall be served either personally upon the person or by posting it in a conspicuous place upon the property affected. If it is served by posting it upon the property, a copy thereof shall be mailed to the person for whom it is desired by certified mail; a return receipt shall not be required. B. If a notice of violation is served: (1) The notice, in addition to such other information the Building Inspector deems appropriate: (a) Shall describe the property, the violation, and the remedial action to be taken that will effect compliance with this chapter. (b) Shall prescribe a reasonable time within which such person shall be required to effect compliance with this chapter. If there are multiple violations, different periods may be required for different violations. (c) Shall state that the person served, or any other interested person, may request a hearing before the Superintendent of the Building Department prior to effecting all or any part of the violations. Such request must be made in writing and received by the Building Department at the Village Hall within five days from service of the notice of violation. If said five-day period ends in a day when the Village Hall is closed, the period shall be extended to the next day that the Village Hall is open. The failure to file within said five-day period shall be deemed a waiver of any right to appeal the decision. (2) If a hearing is requested, it shall be commenced no later than seven days after the request is made, provided that, for good cause, the Superintendent of the Building Department may postpone such hearing for a reasonable time. If, after the hearing, the Superintendent finds that no violation exists or that such unusual, extraordinary, or undue hardship shall occur by enforcement of the notice of violation, he may withdraw the notice of violation in whole or in part. If he does not withdraw the notice of violation in whole, he shall issue an order requiring the effectuation of compliance within a prescribed reasonable time. The proceedings at such hearing shall be informal and shall be summarized in a written report by the Superintendent, which shall be filed in the Building Department. (3) Any party aggrieved by the decision of the Superintendent, within five days of notice of the decision, which may be oral or in writing, may appeal said decision to the Board of Trustees. If said five-day period ends in a day when the Village Hall is closed, the period shall be extended to the next day that the Village Hall is open. The failure to file within said five-day period shall be deemed a waiver of any right to appeal the decision. (4) If an appeal is taken, after hearing the appeal, the Board of Trustees finds that no violation exists or that such unusual, extraordinary, or undue hardship shall occur by enforcement of the notice of violation, it may vacate or modify the notice of violation in whole or in part. If it does not vacate the notice of violation in whole, it shall issue an order requiring the effectuation of compliance within a prescribed reasonable time. The proceedings of the appeal shall be informal and shall be summarized in the Board's minutes with a copy that shall be filed in the Building Department.
Kings Point Code of Ordinances ch. 117 § 117-9 establishes the process by which the Village's Building Inspector may issue an appearance ticket or notice of violation for housing-code infractions, either by personal service or by posting on the property with a certified-mail copy. The notice must describe the violation and set a reasonable deadline for correction, and the person cited—or any interested party—has the right to request an informal hearing before the Superintendent of the Building Department within five days of service. Decisions from that hearing can be further appealed to the Board of Trustees, also within five days, with the understanding that missing either deadline is treated as a waiver of the right to appeal.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Kings Point Code ch. 117 § 117-9, property owners who receive a notice of violation are expected to review it carefully for the described deficiency and the compliance deadline set by the Building Inspector. Operators who believe a violation was issued in error, or that enforcement would cause undue hardship, generally submit a written hearing request to the Building Department at Village Hall within the five-day window to preserve their options. If the Superintendent's decision is still unfavorable, a compliant operator is aware that a further written appeal to the Board of Trustees must also be filed within five days of receiving that decision.

Kings Point Code ch. 117 § 117-9 gives tenants and other interested persons the right to participate in the notice-of-violation process—not just the property owner—by requesting an informal hearing before the Superintendent of the Building Department within five days of the notice being served. If the outcome of that hearing is unsatisfactory, any aggrieved party may escalate the matter to the Board of Trustees through a written appeal filed within five days of the Superintendent's decision. Tenants seeking to understand these rights or navigate the timeline may find it helpful to consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office familiar with Kings Point Village procedures.
