Oneida, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 77 § 77-25
Order to vacate
Operative Text
Whenever a notice of violation, as provided in the preceding section, has not been complied with, the Chief Officer of the Agency may placard and issue a final order, pursuant to § 77-34 , directing the premises or any part thereof to be vacated and a copy of said order shall be served, in addition to the persons responsible, on the tenants affected thereby.
Under Oneida, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 77 § 77-25, when a property owner or responsible party fails to comply with a previously issued notice of violation, the Chief Officer of the Agency is authorized to take escalating action. This includes posting a placard on the property and issuing a final order — pursuant to § 77-34 — requiring that the premises, or a portion of them, be vacated. A copy of that final vacate order must be served not only on the responsible parties but also on any tenants who are directly affected by it.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 77-25, a failure to remedy conditions cited in a prior notice of violation can trigger the Chief Officer of the Agency to post a placard and issue a binding vacate order under § 77-34. Operators who act promptly to correct cited violations before this escalation stage generally avoid the more disruptive consequence of a formal vacate order. Maintaining documentation of remediation efforts and communicating proactively with the Agency are practices commonly associated with compliant property management.

Section 77-25 of Oneida's Code of Ordinances requires that tenants directly affected by a vacate order receive a copy of that order, meaning tenants have a right to formal notice when such action is taken against their home. If you receive a placard or vacate order, tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help you understand what the order means and what options may be available. Tenants may also wish to review § 77-34, which governs the underlying authority for vacate orders, to better understand the scope of any action taken.
