Appeals
Operative Text
A. Request for hearing. Any person affected by any notice of violation or order issued in connection with the enforcement of any provision of this chapter, or of any rule or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, may request and shall be granted a hearing before the Minimum Standards Appeal Board, provided that such person shall file in the office of the Housing Inspector, a written request for such hearing, setting forth a brief statement of the grounds therefor, designating the person of his address upon whom orders may be served, and setting forth the reasons why such notice of violation or order should be modified or withdrawn. If this request is filed within 10 days after the service of notice of violation or order, compliance with such notice shall not be required while the bearing is pending, except in emergencies or as otherwise provided. B. Hearing. Except in emergencies, upon receipt of a request for a hearing as provided in this section, the Minimum Standards Appeals Board shall set a time and place for such hearing and shall give the applicant at least 10 days' written notice thereof. Such hearing shall commence not later than 60 days after the date on which the request was filed; however, hearings may be postponed beyond such 60 days for good and sufficient reason. At such hearing the applicant or his representative shall be given an opportunity to show cause why such notice of violation or order should be modified or withdrawn. C. Finding of hearing. After a hearing held in accordance with this section and on consideration of the evidence presented, the Minimum Standards Appeals Board shall sustain, modify or withdraw the notice. If the notice of violation or order is sustained or modified, such decision shall be deemed a final order and shall be served as provided in § 128-59 on the person or persons whom the Minimum Standards Appeals Board shall find to be responsible for the violation. Where there are practical difficulties or unreasonable hardships in the literal enforcement of the provisions of this chapter, the Minimum Standards Appeals Board shall have the power to authorize a variance from the provision of this chapter, provided that the intent of this chapter shall be observed with respect to the safeguarding of the public health, safety, morals and welfare. D. Record of hearing. The Minimum Standards Appeals Board shall keep a summary of testimony and a copy of every relevant notice or order, the request for a hearing, entries of appearance, findings of fact, if any, and the final determination, and such record shall be maintained as a public record.
Section 128-70 of LeRoy Village's Code of Ordinances establishes a formal appeal process for anyone affected by a housing violation notice or order issued under Chapter 128. A person may request a hearing before the Minimum Standards Appeal Board by filing a written request with the Housing Inspector within 10 days of receiving the notice, which generally pauses the compliance requirement while the appeal is pending. The Board must schedule the hearing within 60 days, consider the evidence, and then sustain, modify, or withdraw the original notice — and may also grant variances where strict enforcement would create unreasonable hardship. All hearing records are maintained as public documents.

Property owners and managers subject to a violation notice or order under LeRoy Village Code Chapter 128 should be aware that § 128-70 provides a structured path to contest such notices before the Minimum Standards Appeal Board. A compliant operator who disagrees with a notice typically files a written request for a hearing with the Housing Inspector within the 10-day window, clearly stating the grounds for the appeal and a valid service address. Operators also generally document any conditions that might support a hardship variance, since the Board has authority under § 128-70 to authorize relief where literal enforcement would create unreasonable difficulties.

Section 128-70 of LeRoy Village's Code of Ordinances is relevant to tenants because it governs how violation notices and orders issued under Chapter 128 can be appealed by any affected person — which can include tenants in some circumstances. Tenants who believe a notice or order affecting their housing situation should be modified or withdrawn may consult a local tenant-rights organization to understand whether they qualify to file a written hearing request with the Housing Inspector under § 128-70. The Board's final determinations and hearing records are maintained as public records, which may be useful when seeking information about the enforcement history of a property.
