Saugerties Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 148 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 148-4
Service of papers; notice of violations
Operative Text
Service of papers, notice of violations shall be: A. By delivering to and leaving a copy of the same with any person or persons violating, or who may be liable under any of the several provisions of this chapter; and B. By registered or certified mail to the most current address on file in the landlord registration statement upon the owner and/or managing agent; or C. If none is on file to the most current address in the Assessor's office by registered or certified mail to the owner and/or managing agent; and if such person or persons cannot be served by any of the aforesaid methods after diligent search shall have been made for him/her or them, then such notice or order may be served by posting the same in a conspicuous place upon the rental property where such violation is alleged to exist, or to which such notice may refer, or which may be deemed unsafe or dangerous, which shall be the equivalent of personal service of said notice upon all parties, including the owner and/or managing agent for whom such search shall have been made; or D. By any other method or service authorized pursuant to Article 3 of the New York State Civil Practice Law and Rules. E. Notice by mail to owners residing out of state. If the person or persons or any of them to whom said notice is directed do not reside in the State of New York and have no known place of business therein, the same may be served by delivering to or leaving with such person or persons or either of them a copy of said notice. If said person or persons cannot be found with a due diligence search, then by posting a copy of the same in a manner aforesaid and depositing a copy thereof in a post office in the Village of Saugerties, enclosed in a sealed wrapper addressed to said person or persons at his/her last known place of residence with the postage paid thereon, and said posting and mailing a copy of said notice shall be equivalent to personal service of said notice.
Section 148-4 of Saugerties Village's Code of Ordinances establishes the official methods by which notices of violations and other legal papers may be delivered to property owners, managing agents, or other responsible parties under Chapter 148. Valid service can occur through personal delivery, registered or certified mail to the address on file in the landlord registration statement or the Assessor's office, conspicuous posting on the rental property after a diligent search fails, or any method permitted under Article 3 of the New York State Civil Practice Law and Rules. Special provisions also apply when the recipient resides outside New York State, allowing for a combination of posting and mailing to the last known address.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 148-4, the address a property owner or managing agent has on file in the landlord registration statement is the primary mailing address used for official notices of violations. Operators who keep that registration current help ensure they actually receive any notices sent by registered or certified mail, rather than risking service by posting on the rental property or through the Assessor's office records. Out-of-state owners should be aware that § 148-4 provides a specific procedure for serving them, making an accurate and current address on file especially important for staying informed of any compliance matters.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 148-4 describes how the Village of Saugerties formally delivers violation notices to landlords and managing agents, which is relevant context for tenants who want to understand how enforcement actions under Chapter 148 are initiated. If a tenant believes a violation exists at their rental property, understanding that official notice can be served by posting on the property—when other methods fail—may help them recognize when enforcement proceedings have begun. Tenants seeking to understand their rights or the status of a violation may find it useful to contact the Village of Saugerties directly or consult a local tenant-rights organization familiar with § 148-4 and Chapter 148 enforcement procedures.
