New Hyde Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 139 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 139-47
Notice of removal
Operative Text
A. Service of the written notice provided for in this chapter may be personal but if notice cannot be made personally, such notice shall be mailed to the property owner at his last known address and a copy of the notice affixed to a conspicuous part of the building. B. In the event of a vacant lot, where the address of the owner, lessee, occupant or person in control thereof is not known, service of the notice may be made by affixing such notice to some object thereon where it is likely to be seen. C. If the owner of land in violation of this chapter is a nonresident, a notice to cut, trim or remove the brush, grass or rubbish or other material which is in violation of this chapter, mailed to such owner addressed to his last known address, shall be sufficient service of the notice.
New Hyde Park Code ch. 139 § 139-47 establishes the methods by which the municipality may legally deliver a notice of removal to a property owner or responsible party. Personal service is the preferred method, but if that is not possible, the notice may be mailed to the owner's last known address and posted visibly on the building. Special rules apply for vacant lots with unknown owners and for nonresident owners, ensuring that notice can still be validly served even when direct contact is unavailable.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 139 § 139-47, property owners and managers generally ensure that their current mailing address is on file with the municipality so that any notice of removal can be delivered without complication. A compliant operator typically responds promptly to any notice received by mail or posted on the property, since the ordinance treats such delivery as legally sufficient service. Nonresident owners in particular benefit from keeping their last known address updated, as a mailed notice to that address constitutes valid service under this provision.

Section 139-47 of New Hyde Park's Code of Ordinances governs how removal notices are served, which can be relevant to tenants who occupy a property subject to a violation notice. If a notice has been posted on a conspicuous part of a building, that posting may constitute valid legal service on the owner, and tenants may wish to be aware of any such postings. Tenants who have questions about a posted notice or its implications for their occupancy can consult a tenant-rights organization or seek general guidance from local housing authorities.
