                   2.) The structures, owners or representative of the owner can provide documentation that will meet the qualifications as   set forth by New York State Law.

Codes Office Informational Update

August 2009 Update

 

CODE ENFORCEMENT

 

The first half of the year was quite busy.  We are ahead of last year with permit requests and new procedures are in place to identify parcels with violations.  The Town Board hired a clerk for the office and we keep regular hours Tuesday thru Thursday 9 a.m. to noon.  We are available on request at other hours if needed.  The Real Property Index is being updated with current home-owner information as well as 911 addresses and should be a benefit to other committees and departments within the next quarter.

 

Working closely with the Town Assessor we can now track the history of each parcel, which has generated requests from insurance companies, would-be-purchasers, agents and other county agencies.  For a small town we are pretty well up on County and State mandates which in turn has benefited our residents with lower insurance rates and safer places to live.

 

Did you know that 80% of the Code Officer's time is spent investigating and doing the necessary paperwork on complaints received through the phone or by letter from county agencies.  So when we request your permit applicaions to be in our office at least a month prior to your expected start date on any projects, it isn't we want to slow down your plans, but to give us time to gather all requested information and to make sure that permiits, once generated, comply with all current codes laws.

 

A few changes to our current fee schedule are being proposed in the fall, so be sure and come to the monthly town meetings and voice you opinion.
