The Code Enforcement Officer may bring an appropriate legal proceeding to punish the responsible person for such violation or, in an appropriate case and with the prior approval of the Town Board, a proceeding to enjoin such violation. C. Whenever the Code Enforcement Officer determines that an emergency exists which requires immediate action to protect the public health, safety or welfare, he may issue an order stating the existence of such emergency and require that such action be taken, as may be deemed necessary, to protect the public health, safety and welfare. D. Occupancy certificates or installation permits may be invalidated for a conviction of a violation of this chapter if the violation has not been corrected.
Spencer, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 98 § 98-57 establishes the process by which the Code Enforcement Officer responds to violations of the mobile home and mobile home lot chapter. When a violation is found, written notice must be given to the responsible permit holder describing the violation and the steps and deadlines required to correct it. The officer may pursue legal action to punish or enjoin violations, issue emergency orders when public health or safety is at immediate risk, and invalidate occupancy certificates or installation permits if a violation is not corrected after a conviction.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Spencer, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 98 § 98-57, operators and permit holders responsible for mobile homes or mobile home lots are expected to respond promptly to any written notice of violation issued by the Code Enforcement Officer, including meeting the correction deadlines specified in that notice.
