Mamakating, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 120 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 120-7
Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
A. Any person or agent who, having been served with a notice or order to remove any violation of this chapter or any nuisance, fails to comply therewith within 30 days or within such further reasonable time therefor fixed by the code enforcement officers shall be guilty of a violation punishable, for each offense, as set forth in Chapter 1 , General Provisions, Article II , General Penalty. B. The term "person," as used in this section, shall include the owner, mortgagee or vendee in possession, assignee of rents, receiver, executor, trustee, lessee, agent or any other person, firm or corporation directly or indirectly in control of a dwelling or part thereof.
Section 120-7 of Mamakating's Code of Ordinances establishes that anyone who receives an official notice or order to correct a violation or nuisance under Chapter 120 and fails to do so within 30 days—or within any additional reasonable time granted by code enforcement officers—can be found guilty of a violation. Each failure to comply counts as a separate offense, with penalties set by the General Penalty provisions in Chapter 1, Article II. The term 'person' is defined broadly to include not just property owners but also mortgagees, lessees, receivers, agents, corporations, and others who exercise direct or indirect control over a dwelling or any part of it.

Property owners and managers subject to Mamakating, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 120 § 120-7 generally ensure that any notice or order issued by code enforcement officers is addressed promptly and within the 30-day compliance window specified. Because the provision defines 'person' broadly, responsibility can extend to agents, lessees, and others in control of a dwelling, meaning that property management arrangements do not necessarily shield an owner from liability. Compliant operators typically document their remediation efforts and communicate with code enforcement if additional time may be needed, since the ordinance does allow officers to grant a further reasonable extension.

Under Mamakating, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 120 § 120-7, tenants living in a dwelling where a violation or nuisance has been identified have an interest in knowing whether a compliance notice has been issued and whether the 30-day correction period has passed without action. If a landlord or other person in control of the dwelling has failed to comply with such an order, that noncompliance may be relevant to housing complaints or other proceedings. Tenants can reach out to Mamakating's code enforcement office to inquire about the status of any outstanding orders, or consult a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options may be available.
