Peekskill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 332 § 332-15
Transfer of ownership
Operative Text
No owner of any dwelling, dwelling unit or other premises, upon which any notice or order pursuant to this chapter has been served, shall sell, transfer, grant, mortgage, lease or otherwise dispose of such property to another until compliance of the provisions of such notice or order has been secured; or until such owner shall furnish to the purchaser, transferee, grantee, mortgagee or lessee, prior to such sale, transfer, grant, mortgage or lease a true copy of such notice or order and, at the same time, give adequate notification to the chief officer of the bureau of his intent to sell, transfer, grant, mortgage or lease, and supply to the chief officer in writing, the name and address of such person, persons, or firm to whom the sale, transfer, grant, mortgage, or lease is proposed. A purchaser, transferee, grantee, mortgagee or lessee, who has been informed of the existence of any notice or order issued pursuant to this chapter, shall be bound thereby.
Under Peekskill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 332 § 332-15, when a property subject to an outstanding housing notice or order is sold, transferred, mortgaged, or leased, the transaction cannot proceed freely until either the violation is fully remedied or specific disclosure and notification steps are completed. The rule requires that any incoming buyer, transferee, mortgagee, or lessee receive a true copy of the outstanding notice or order before the deal closes. Once informed of the notice or order, the incoming party becomes legally bound by it, meaning the obligation to address the violation travels with the property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners operating under Peekskill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 332 § 332-15 generally resolve any outstanding notices or orders before entering into a sale, transfer, mortgage, or lease. When full compliance is not yet achieved, compliant operators provide the incoming party with a true copy of the notice or order prior to closing and simultaneously notify the bureau's chief officer in writing of the intended transaction, including the name and address of the prospective buyer, transferee, or lessee. Keeping dated records of these disclosures and notifications helps demonstrate that the requirements of § 332-15 were met.

Under Peekskill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 332 § 332-15, tenants who are informed of an existing housing notice or order before signing a lease become legally bound by that notice, but they are also entitled to receive a true copy of it prior to the lease being executed. If a tenant believes this disclosure was not made as required, that fact may be relevant to any complaint or proceeding involving the property's housing conditions.
