Montour Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 108 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 108-15
Village may bring properties into compliance
Operative Text
If, upon the expiration of the period provided for in the notice described in § 108-12B(3) , the remedial action described in said notice has not been satisfactorily completed in the judgment of the Zoning Officer, the Village may (but shall be under no obligation to) enter upon the subject property and take such remedial action and perform such other improvements, work or acts as are necessary to bring the subject property into compliance with the requirements of this chapter.
Under Montour Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 108 § 108-15, if a property owner fails to complete the remedial action specified in a compliance notice within the allotted time period, the Village of Montour Falls is authorized—though not required—to step in and perform the necessary corrective work itself. The Zoning Officer's judgment determines whether the owner's efforts have been satisfactory. This provision gives the Village a discretionary tool to address ongoing code violations when owners do not act on their own.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Montour Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 108 § 108-15 should be aware that once a compliance notice deadline passes, the Village holds the authority to enter the property and carry out any remedial work it deems necessary. Operators who comply fully and on time with the terms of a § 108-12B(3) notice avoid triggering this Village intervention power. Maintaining documentation of completed remedial actions and communicating with the Zoning Officer before the deadline can help demonstrate that corrective steps have been satisfactorily addressed.

Tenants living in properties subject to a compliance notice under Montour Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 108 § 108-15 may find it relevant that the Village itself can step in to correct code violations if a landlord fails to act within the required timeframe. This provision signals that the local government has a mechanism to address unresolved property conditions beyond simply issuing notices. Tenants who believe a property remains out of compliance after a notice deadline may consider contacting the Village Zoning Officer or a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options are available to them.
