Under Larchmont, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 215 § 215-40, when a violation of the housing chapter or its regulations is identified, the Building Inspector must issue a written notice to the responsible party. That notice must spell out the specific violation(s), the corrective steps required, and a compliance deadline of no more than 30 days. The notice also informs the recipient of their right to request a hearing, and if no hearing is requested within 10 days of service, the notice automatically becomes a formal order of the Building Inspector.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Larchmont, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 215 § 215-40 should be aware that a written notice from the Building Inspector carries a built-in deadline: if no hearing is requested within 10 days of service, the notice converts into a binding order. Compliant operators typically track the date of service carefully, review the specified violations and required corrections, and act within the stated timeframe—which cannot exceed 30 days. Those who believe a notice is in error generally have the option to request a hearing under § 215-29 before the notice ripens into an order.
