Code Enforcement

The Building Department is the principle code enforcement agency of the Village for many non-police matters.  In addition to enforcing local zoning and the N.Y.S. Uniform Building and Fire Prevention Codes, which regulate the use and occupancy of private land and structures, the Building Inspector, Code Enforcement Officer, and Fire Inspectors are responsible for the enforcement of various other Village Code regulations.

The Building Inspector is responsible for the enforcement of the Village Code as it pertains to its zoning law, subdivision and site plan compliance, signs, wetlands, as well as the NYS Building and Fire Prevention Code.

The Code Enforcement Officer is principally responsible for the enforcement of local laws related to exterior property maintenance such as garbage, rubbish, recycling and refuse, street and sidewalk cleaning and maintenance (including snow removal); posting of signs in public rights-of-way and distribution of flyers and handbills.

The Fire Inspectors are responsible for the enforcement of the New York Fire Prevention and Building Code as it pertains to places of public assembly, business establishments, manufacturing sites and multiple residential dwellings.
