B. Time within which conditions must be remedied: service of notice. Such notice to remedy shall provide for a five-day period for compliance therewith. It shall be sufficient service of such notice if it is personally served upon the owner, agent, person in control of the premises and/or tenant or is posted in a conspicuous place upon the premises affected and a copy thereof mailed to the owner, person in control of the premises and/or agent of said premises.

Spring Valley, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 147 § 147-9 establishes a formal process by which a code inspector can issue a written notice requiring that violations found on a property be corrected within five days. The notice is considered properly served if it is handed directly to the owner, agent, person in control, or tenant, or if it is posted visibly on the property and a copy is mailed to the relevant parties. Importantly, if the same violation recurs within 12 months of an initial notice, the inspector may skip the notice step entirely and issue an immediate summons.
