South Glens Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 107 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 107-3
Order prohibiting occupancy
Operative Text
Upon failure of compliance with the aforementioned order, the consolidated Board of Health, in addition thereto, may issue a further order to be affixed conspicuously upon such building or dwelling and served upon the owner or his agent and the occupant or lessee thereof requiring all persons to vacate such building or dwelling and to discontinue its use within a period of not less than 10 days from the date of posting of said further order and the mailing of copies thereof to the owner or his agent and the occupant or lessee by registered mail at the last known addresses of such owner or his agent and the occupant or lessee. Until such time as the consolidated Board of Health shall find that such building or dwelling is in a sanitary or habitable condition and the nuisance abated and an order is issued to that effect, such building or dwelling shall not be occupied. The time for compliance with the further order shall commence to run from the time of personal service thereof upon the owner or his agent and the occupant or lessee or upon the receipt of such order by registered mail by such person.
Under South Glens Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 107 § 107-3, when an owner or occupant fails to comply with an initial health order, the consolidated Board of Health is authorized to issue a follow-up order requiring all persons to vacate the building or dwelling. This further order must be posted visibly on the property and delivered by registered mail to the owner or agent and the occupant or lessee, with at least 10 days given before the vacate requirement takes effect. The property must remain unoccupied until the Board of Health formally determines that it has been restored to a sanitary and habitable condition and issues an order to that effect.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 107-3, property owners and managers who receive an initial health order from the consolidated Board of Health should act promptly to address any cited conditions, because noncompliance can trigger a formal vacate order posted on the building and served by registered mail. A compliant operator generally keeps current contact information on file with the Board so that registered mail notices reach the appropriate party without delay, and documents all remediation efforts to support a finding that the property has been restored to a habitable condition. Operators typically seek the Board's formal clearance order before allowing any re-occupancy, since the provision prohibits use of the property until that determination is made.

Section 107-3 of the South Glens Falls Code of Ordinances provides occupants and lessees with formal notice rights: any vacate order must be conspicuously posted on the building and sent to the tenant's last known address by registered mail, and the compliance period of at least 10 days does not begin until personal service or receipt of the mailed order. Tenants should be aware that a property subject to a vacate order under this provision cannot lawfully be re-occupied until the consolidated Board of Health issues a written finding that the building is sanitary and habitable. Tenants facing displacement under this provision may wish to contact a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand available options, including any rights related to relocation or the landlord's obligation to remediate conditions.
