Section 245-72 of Sleepy Hollow's Code of Ordinances designates the Department of Architecture, Land Use Development, Buildings and Building Compliance as the body responsible for administering and enforcing the Village's rental housing rules under Part 3.

Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 245-72, the primary point of contact for compliance matters related to Part 3 is the Village of Sleepy Hollow's Department of Architecture, Land Use Development, Buildings and Building Compliance. Operators who receive notices or inquiries from the Building Inspector are generally expected to respond through that office. Because the chief executive officer may also engage contracted investigators with board approval, landlords should be aware that enforcement contacts may come from authorized third parties acting on the department's behalf.

Section 245-72 establishes that the Department of Architecture, Land Use Development, Buildings and Building Compliance — through its Building Inspector — is the designated enforcement authority for Part 3 housing provisions in Sleepy Hollow. Tenants who believe a violation has occurred may direct complaints or inquiries to that department, as it holds the authority to investigate and act. If the department has engaged contracted investigators under the provision's delegation authority, those individuals may also be involved in any follow-up; tenant-rights organizations familiar with Sleepy Hollow's local code can help clarify the appropriate process.
