Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 245 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 245-65
Applicability to Building Code
Operative Text
Where enforcement of a provision of this Part 3 causes any repairs, alterations or changes to buildings, such repairs, alterations or changes shall be done in a workmanlike manner and shall comply with all applicable laws, codes and regulations and applicable sections of the Building Code of Sleepy Hollow.
Section 245-65 of Sleepy Hollow's Code of Ordinances establishes that whenever enforcement of Part 3 triggers physical work on a building—such as repairs, alterations, or changes—that work must meet two standards: it must be performed in a workmanlike manner, and it must comply with all applicable laws, codes, and regulations, including the Sleepy Hollow Building Code. The provision essentially links housing-regulation enforcement to broader construction and safety standards, ensuring that remediation work does not itself create new code violations. It applies to any party responsible for carrying out such work as a result of Part 3 enforcement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Part 3 enforcement in Sleepy Hollow should be aware that § 245-65 requires any resulting repair or alteration work to satisfy both a workmanship standard and full compliance with the Sleepy Hollow Building Code and other applicable regulations. Compliant operators typically obtain any necessary building permits before commencing work, hire qualified contractors, and document that completed work meets code requirements. Keeping records of inspections, permits, and contractor credentials is a common practice for demonstrating compliance under this provision.

Under § 245-65 of Sleepy Hollow's Code of Ordinances, tenants have an interest in knowing that repairs or alterations carried out as a result of Part 3 enforcement must be done properly—in a workmanlike manner and in accordance with the Sleepy Hollow Building Code. If work performed in a unit or building appears substandard or seems to have been done without required permits, tenants can document the conditions and raise the issue with the relevant local enforcement or building department.
