Owego Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 162 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 162-10
Notice of violations
Operative Text
The Code Enforcement Officer shall, in his or her discretion, determine the severity of any code violations following an inspection. If a property owner is cited with a code violation, the Code Enforcement Officer will notify the owner, landlord or designated agent of the violation and provide the landlord with a reasonable amount of time in which to make repairs. This provision does not apply to emergency situations or code infractions deemed to be imminent hazards to the public health, safety and welfare. If the violations are not corrected by the reinspection date, an appearance ticket may be issued, and a court appearance will be required.
Under Owego Village Code of Ordinances ch. 162 § 162-10, when a code violation is found during an inspection, the Code Enforcement Officer has discretion to assess its severity and must notify the property owner, landlord, or their designated agent. The owner is then given a reasonable period to make the necessary repairs before a follow-up reinspection occurs. If violations remain uncorrected at reinspection, an appearance ticket can be issued requiring a court appearance. Emergency situations or conditions posing imminent hazards to public health, safety, and welfare are exempt from this notice-and-repair timeline.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 162-10 of the Owego Village Code, compliant property operators typically maintain open communication with the Code Enforcement Officer after receiving a violation notice and complete all required repairs within the timeframe provided. Keeping documentation of repair work and correspondence with the enforcement office is a common practice that supports demonstrating compliance by the reinspection date. Operators should be aware that emergency or imminent-hazard violations fall outside the standard notice process and may require immediate action without the benefit of a repair period.

Section 162-10 of the Owego Village Code establishes a process through which the Code Enforcement Officer notifies landlords of violations and sets a deadline for repairs, which can be relevant to tenants living in substandard conditions. Tenants who believe a property has unresolved code violations may contact the Owego Village Code Enforcement Office to inquire about inspection and complaint procedures. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand how unresolved violations documented under § 162-10 might relate to other housing rights or remedies available under New York law.
