Lysander, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 195 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 195-28
A. Whenever the Building Inspector determines that there are reasonable grounds to believe that there has been a violation of any provision of this chapter or of any regulation adopted pursuant thereto, he shall give notice of such alleged violation to the person to whom the permit or certificate was issued, as hereinbefore provided. Such notice shall be in writing, shall include a statement of the reasons for its issuance, shall allow a reasonable time for the performance of any act it requires and shall be served upon the owner or his agent, as the case may require; provided, however, that such notice or order shall be deemed to have been properly served upon such owner or agent when a copy thereof has been served with such notice by any other method authorized or required by the laws of New York, and finally, such notice shall contain an outline of remedial action which, if taken, will effect compliance with the provisions of this chapter, or any part thereof, and with the regulations adopted pursuant thereto. B. Any person affected by any notice which has been issued in connection with the enforcement of any provision of this chapter, or of any regulation adopted pursuant thereto, may request and shall be granted a hearing on the matter before the Zoning Board of Appeals, provided that such person shall file in the Town Clerk's office a written petition requesting such hearing and setting forth a brief statement of the grounds therefor within 10 days after the notice was served. The filing of the request for a hearing shall operate as a stay of the notice and the suspension except in the case of an order issued under Subsection E of this § 195-28 . Upon receipt of such petition, the Building Inspector shall set a time and place for such hearing and shall give the petitioner written notice thereof. At such hearing, the petitioner shall be given an opportunity to be heard and to show why such notice should be modified or withdrawn. The hearing shall be commenced not later than 20 days after the day on which the petition was filed; however, upon application of the petitioner, the Building Inspector may postpone the date of the hearing for a reasonable time beyond such twenty-day period when, in his judgment, the petitioner has submitted good and sufficient reasons for such postponement. C. After such hearing, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall make findings as to compliance with the provisions of this chapter and the regulations issued thereunder and shall issue an order in writing sustaining, modifying or withdrawing the notice which shall be served as provided in Subsection A of this § 195-28 . Upon failure to comply with any order sustaining or modifying a notice, the permit of the mobile home park affected by the order shall be revoked. D. The proceedings at such a hearing, including the findings and decision of the Zoning Board of Appeals and together with a copy of every notice and order relating thereto, shall be entered as a matter of public record in the office of the Town Clerk, but the transcript of the proceedings need not be transcribed unless judicial review of the decision is sought as provided by this section. Any person aggrieved by the decision of the Zoning Board of Appeals may seek relief therefrom in any court of competent jurisdiction as provided by the laws of New York. E. Whenever the Building Inspector finds that an emergency exists which requires immediate action to protect the public health, he may, without notice or hearing, issue an order reciting the existence of such an emergency and requiring that such action to be taken as he may deem necessary to meet the emergency, including the suspension of the permit or license. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, such order shall be effective immediately. Any provisions of Subsections C and D shall be applicable to such hearing and the order issued thereafter.

If an order is not complied with, the mobile home park permit may be revoked. In emergency situations threatening public health, the Building Inspector may act immediately—including suspending a permit—without prior notice or hearing.

For Property Managers

Operators of mobile home parks subject to Lysander Code ch. 195 § 195-28 generally maintain records of all written violation notices received from the Building Inspector, including the stated reasons and required remedial actions, and track the deadlines those notices impose. A compliant operator typically takes the remedial steps outlined in any notice within the time allowed, or files a written petition with the Town Clerk within 10 days to request a hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeals if the notice is disputed. Failure to comply with a final order sustaining or modifying a notice can result in revocation of the mobile home park permit under § 195-28(C).

For Tenants

Residents of mobile home parks in Lysander may find it relevant that § 195-28 requires violation notices to be in writing, to state the reasons for issuance, and to allow reasonable time for corrective action—creating a documented public record filed with the Town Clerk. If a notice is issued and a hearing is held, the proceedings and the Zoning Board of Appeals' decision become part of the public record, which residents may access. Tenants who believe conditions in their park implicate this provision may consider contacting the Lysander Building Inspector's office, reviewing the public record at the Town Clerk's office, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general information about how § 195-28 enforcement works.
