Operative Text
The City shall continue to send notices to the County of Monroe listing any health and safety violations found in properties inspected by the City. Any violation of § 90-54 shall be included on that list.
Under Rochester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 § 90-64, the City of Rochester is required to send notices to Monroe County identifying health and safety violations discovered during city property inspections. Any violation of § 90-54 must be specifically included on these notices. This provision establishes an ongoing intergovernmental reporting obligation, ensuring that county-level authorities are kept informed of local code enforcement findings.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers should be aware that under § 90-64, health and safety violations found during City inspections are not only a local matter — they are formally reported to Monroe County as well. A compliant operator generally maintains properties in good repair so that any city inspection does not result in a violation that triggers this cross-jurisdictional notification. Understanding that § 90-54 violations are explicitly required to appear on these county notices underscores the importance of addressing code issues proactively.

Section 90-64 gives tenants useful context: when the City of Rochester finds health and safety violations at an inspected property, those findings are shared with Monroe County, creating a broader record of the landlord's compliance history. Violations of § 90-54 are specifically required to be included in these notices, which may be relevant when pursuing complaints or understanding a property's enforcement history. Tenants who believe their unit has uninspected violations may consider contacting the City's code enforcement office or a local tenant-rights organization to learn about available options.
