Larchmont, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 215 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 215-41
Service of notice
Operative Text
Notice may be served personally or by prepaid telegram or by mail with postage prepaid, addressed to the last known address of the person to be served. In the case of an occupant who cannot be served as above, notice may be posted upon the door of his dwelling unit or rooming unit. Where it is ascertained that the owner does not reside on the premises, the last known address shall be the address of the owner as shown in the office of the Assessor. If the last known address cannot be ascertained, the notice may be posted on the outside front entrance of the building.
Section 215-41 of Larchmont's Code of Ordinances establishes the acceptable methods for delivering official notices under the village's housing regulations. A notice may be served in person, by prepaid telegram, or by prepaid mail sent to the last known address of the recipient. When personal or mail service is not possible, the rule permits posting the notice on the door of the dwelling unit, or on the building's front entrance if no address can be determined. For owners who live off-site, the address on file with the Assessor's office serves as the official last known address.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 215-41, compliant property owners and managers generally maintain a current mailing address on file with the local Assessor's office, since that record is used as the official last known address when the owner does not reside on the premises. Operators typically document each attempt at service — whether personal delivery, telegram, or prepaid mail — to demonstrate that proper notice procedures were followed. Keeping contact information current with the Assessor helps ensure that any notices issued under Chapter 215 actually reach the intended recipient without delay.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 215-41 sets out the methods by which official notices must be delivered to occupants, which means a notice posted on your unit door is legally recognized only when personal service and mail service were not feasible. If you believe a notice was not served in accordance with the methods described in § 215-41, that procedural question may be relevant to any proceeding arising from that notice. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Larchmont's housing code can help you understand whether the service method used in a particular situation met the requirements of this provision.
