Larchmont, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 215 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 215-42
Request for hearing
Operative Text
Within 10 days of the date of service of a notice, the notice shall constitute a final order unless any person affected by the notice requests a hearing thereon before the Board of Trustees and serves a written request within the ten-day period, in person or by mail, on the Building Inspector. Such request for a hearing shall set forth briefly the grounds or reasons on which the request for a hearing is based and the factual matters contained in the notice of violation which are to be disputed at the hearing. The Village Board of Trustees, upon receipt of the request, shall, within 30 days therefrom and upon five days' notice to the party aggrieved, set the matter down for hearing.
Under Larchmont, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 215 § 215-42, when a notice of violation is issued, it automatically becomes a final order after 10 days unless a hearing is requested within that window. To prevent the notice from becoming final, an affected person must submit a written request to the Building Inspector — either in person or by mail — within those 10 days, briefly stating the grounds for the challenge and identifying which factual matters in the notice are disputed. Once the Village Board of Trustees receives a valid request, it must schedule a hearing within 30 days and provide at least five days' advance notice to the requesting party.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to a notice of violation under ch. 215 § 215-42 should be aware that the 10-day window for requesting a hearing begins running from the date the notice is served. Operators who wish to contest a notice generally ensure their written request is delivered to the Building Inspector within that period and clearly identifies the disputed factual matters. Keeping records of the date and method of delivery — in person or by mail — helps document that the request was timely submitted.

Section 215-42 of the Larchmont Code gives any person affected by a notice of violation the right to request a hearing before the Village Board of Trustees, which can prevent the notice from automatically becoming a final order. Tenants who believe a notice contains factual errors or was improperly issued can exercise this right by submitting a written request to the Building Inspector within 10 days of service, describing the basis for the challenge. Those uncertain about how to frame their request or what grounds may apply can consult a tenant-rights organization or housing attorney for general guidance on the process.
