Sand Lake, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 115 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 115-9
Administration and enforcement
Operative Text
A. The authority and responsibility for publicizing, administering and enforcing this chapter shall be in the town's fair housing officer, to be designated by the Supervisor of the Town of Sand Lake. B. Where sufficient cause exists to believe that the terms of this chapter have been violated, the fair housing officer shall institute a suit in Town Court against the alleged violator within 120 days following the issuance of the charge.
Section 115-9 of Sand Lake's fair housing ordinance establishes that a designated fair housing officer, appointed by the Town Supervisor, is responsible for publicizing, administering, and enforcing the chapter's requirements. When credible evidence of a violation exists, that officer is obligated to bring a legal action in Town Court against the alleged violator, and must do so within 120 days of the charge being issued. This provision sets both the institutional home for enforcement and a firm procedural deadline for initiating legal proceedings.

Under Sand Lake Code ch. 115 § 115-9, the town's fair housing officer holds the authority to investigate potential violations and, where sufficient cause is found, to file suit in Town Court. Operators who stay informed about the chapter's requirements and maintain clear records of their fair housing practices are generally better positioned to respond if a charge is ever issued. Being aware that the officer has a 120-day window to initiate legal action after a charge helps property managers understand the timeline of any formal enforcement process.
