Service of notice
Operative Text
Notices of violation shall be served as follows: A. By personal service; B. By registered or certified mail to the person whose name and address has been filed with the Department in accordance with this Part 3 and, if desired, to the occupant of a copy of such notice; C. If the current name and address of the person upon whom an order may be served is not on file or if such person refuses acceptance of such service or of registered or certified mail, by posting a copy to the premises, addressed to the owner, lessor or his respective agent; or D. By regular mail.
Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 245 § 245-84 establishes the official methods by which notices of violation may be delivered to property owners, lessors, or their agents. Valid service can occur through personal delivery, registered or certified mail to an address on file with the Department, posting on the premises when no address is on file or when the recipient refuses delivery, or regular mail. The rule ensures that a notice of violation is considered properly served even when a property owner is difficult to reach or declines to accept delivery.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 245 § 245-84, operators who keep a current name and mailing address on file with the Department help ensure that any notices of violation reach them promptly through registered or certified mail. Compliant property managers typically maintain up-to-date contact information with the Department, since failure to do so can result in notice being posted directly to the premises and still deemed valid. Being reachable through official channels is a standard practice that supports timely awareness of any compliance issues.

Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 245 § 245-84 outlines how notices of violation are formally delivered, which can be relevant to occupants because a copy of a notice may optionally be sent to them as well. If a tenant believes a violation notice has been improperly served or that a landlord has not received or acted on a notice, tenant-rights organizations or a local housing authority may be able to clarify what steps are available. Understanding the service methods under this provision can help tenants follow the status of any enforcement action affecting their home.
