Manorhaven, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 82 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 82-19
Compliance with order required
Operative Text
Any dwelling, dwelling unit or rooming unit designated as unfit for human habitation pursuant to § 82-16 and ordered vacated as provided in § 82-18 shall be vacated within such reasonable time as the Building Inspector may specify in the order. No such dwelling, dwelling unit or rooming unit shall again be used for human habitation nor placard removed until written approval is secured from the Building Inspector.
Under Manorhaven, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 82 § 82-19, when a dwelling, dwelling unit, or rooming unit has been officially declared unfit for human habitation and ordered vacated, occupants must leave within the timeframe the Building Inspector specifies in the order. The unit cannot be reoccupied or have its posted placard removed until the Building Inspector issues written approval. This rule creates a clear two-step process: mandatory vacation followed by an official clearance before any return to use.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Manorhaven, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 82 § 82-19 are generally expected to ensure that any unit covered by a vacation order is emptied within the deadline the Building Inspector sets. Compliant operators typically address the underlying conditions that led to the unfit designation and then formally request written approval from the Building Inspector before allowing any reoccupancy or removing posted placards. Proceeding without that written clearance—even after repairs are made—would not satisfy the requirements of § 82-19.

Under Manorhaven, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 82 § 82-19, tenants living in a unit subject to a vacation order have a right to know the specific deadline by which they must vacate, as set by the Building Inspector. Importantly, the same provision protects tenants from being returned to an unsafe unit, since reoccupancy is prohibited until the Building Inspector provides written approval. Tenants who have questions about the status of a vacated unit or their rights during displacement may consider contacting the Manorhaven Building Inspector's office directly or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
