Tuckahoe, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 12 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 12-164
Recording of notice
Operative Text
Whenever a notice, order or complaint has been issued for any infraction of this chapter, the Commissioner may file a copy of such notice, order or complaint in his office. Such recording shall constitute appropriate information of such notice, order or complaint to any subsequent purchaser, transferee, grantee, mortgagee or lessee of the property affected thereby.
Under Tuckahoe, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 12 § 12-164, when a notice, order, or complaint is issued for a violation of Chapter 12, the Commissioner has the authority to file a copy of that document in the official office records. Once recorded, that filing serves as formal notice to anyone who later acquires an interest in the property — whether as a buyer, transferee, grantee, mortgagee, or tenant — meaning they are considered to have been informed of the outstanding violation regardless of whether they personally received the original document.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Chapter 12 of the Tuckahoe Code should be aware that under § 12-164, any unresolved notice, order, or complaint may be recorded in the Commissioner's office and will follow the property through future transactions. Compliant operators generally resolve outstanding violations promptly so that no such record attaches to the property before a sale, refinancing, or new lease is executed. Prospective buyers, lenders, and tenants conducting due diligence may discover these recorded documents, making timely resolution a standard part of responsible property management.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 12-164 of the Tuckahoe Code means that if a property you are renting or considering renting has an outstanding violation recorded by the Commissioner, that record is treated as public notice — you are considered informed of it even if no one told you directly. Tenants who discover a recorded notice, order, or complaint related to their unit may wish to contact the Village of Tuckahoe or a local tenant-rights organization to understand what the violation involves and what remedies may be available. Raising the existence of a recorded violation as part of a housing complaint or lease negotiation is one path tenants sometimes explore with the guidance of a housing counselor or attorney.
