Operative Text
A. Whenever the Chief Officer of the Agency determines that there has been a violation or that there are reasonable grounds to believe that there has been a violation of any provision of this chapter or any rule or regulation adopted pursuant hereto, he shall give written notice of such violation or alleged violation to the persons responsible for such violation. Such notice shall specify the alleged violations and shall provide 10 days for compliance. B. Service of such notice upon the persons responsible for such violation or violations shall be deemed sufficient: (1) If a copy is served upon him personally; or (2) If a copy thereof is sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, to the last known address of such person; or (3) If a copy is posted in a conspicuous place in or about the building affected by the notice and if a copy mailed by registered mail on the same day it is posted to the person responsible. C. Such notice shall inform the person, to whom it is directed, of his right to apply in writing within 10 days for a hearing before the Chief Officer of the Agency or his designated assistant. Such notice may contain an outline of remedial action which, if taken, will effect compliance with the provisions of this chapter and with rules and regulations adopted pursuant hereto.
Under Oneida, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 77 § 77-32, when the Chief Officer of the Agency finds or has reasonable grounds to believe a violation of Chapter 77 has occurred, a written notice must be issued to the responsible party specifying the alleged violation and granting 10 days to come into compliance. The notice can be delivered in person, by registered mail with return receipt, or by a combination of conspicuous posting and registered mail. The notice must also inform the recipient of their right to request a written hearing before the Chief Officer or a designated assistant within that same 10-day window.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Chapter 77 of the Oneida Code should be aware that under § 77-32, a formal written notice of violation triggers a 10-day compliance period. Compliant operators typically maintain current mailing addresses on file with the Agency so that registered-mail service is effective, and they document any remedial steps taken in response to the notice. Upon receiving such a notice, operators generally review the outlined remedial actions included in the notice and track the 10-day deadline for both compliance and any hearing request.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 77-32 of Oneida's Code establishes procedural protections that apply when a violation notice is issued under Chapter 77, which can affect housing conditions relevant to tenants. If a notice of violation is issued regarding a building where you live, the responsible party has 10 days to comply, and the notice itself must specify what the alleged violation is. Tenants who believe housing conditions in their building implicate Chapter 77 may wish to contact a local tenant-rights organization or the Agency directly to understand how the notice and hearing process under § 77-32 could relate to their situation.
