Moving of buildings — See Ch. 75.
Editor's Note: This local law also repealed former Ch. 77, Buildings, Unsafe, adopted 11-19-1979 as Ch. 55 of the 1979 Code, as amended.
The Code Enforcement Officer of the Village of Springville will be charged with the responsibility of carrying out the obligations and duties set forth in this chapter.
No owner of a building or structure in the Village of Springville shall cause or permit said building or structure to become dangerous or unsafe to the public. In the event that any building or structure now or hereafter becomes dangerous or unsafe to the public, from any cause whatsoever, said owner shall repair or remove said building or structure.
If upon review of said report the Village Board resolves that the Code Enforcement Officer has established the reasonable likelihood of an unsafe or dangerous condition, the Village Board may in its discretion direct the Code Enforcement Officer to issue a notice to remedy pursuant to § 77-5 of this chapter. If the Village Board directs the Code Enforcement Officer to issue a notice to remedy pursuant to § 77-5 of this chapter, the Village Board shall also at that time schedule a hearing to be held before the Village Board pursuant to § 77-7. The hearing shall be scheduled to accommodate compliance with the scheduling mandates of § 77-7A.
If in accordance with § 77-4 of this chapter the Village Board directs the Code Enforcement Officer to issue a notice to remedy, the Code Enforcement Officer shall prepare a notice to remedy to be served upon the owner of said building or structure. Said notice shall provide the following information:
Notice that, upon the failure of the owner to comply with the order of the Code Enforcement Officer, the Village of Springville Board of Trustees may direct the removal of said building or structure, with the cost thereof assessed against the land upon which the building or structure is situated.
The time and place of a hearing to be held before the Village Board of the Village of Springville.
Said notice shall advise that it is issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter of the Code of the Village of Springville and shall have annexed to it a copy of this chapter of the Code of the Village of Springville.
A notice to remedy required by § 77-5 above shall be served upon all owners as shown by the records of the Assessor. Service shall be either personally or by registered mail addressed to the last known address of the party to be served. If notice is served by registered mail, a copy of such notice shall be posted on the premises within two days of mailing. Personal service shall be made upon an individual identified within New York Civil Practice Law and Rules § 303, Subdivision 1 of § 308, § 309, § 310, § 311 or § 318 or Estates, Powers and Trusts Law § 11-4.4.
Upon receipt of a report from the Code Enforcement Officer that a building or structure is dangerous or unsafe to the public, the Village Board of the Village of Springville may conduct a hearing to determine whether said building or structure is dangerous or unsafe to the public and has not been repaired or removed as ordered by the Code Enforcement Officer. Said hearing shall be commenced not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days from the date of delivery or mailing of the notice to remedy set forth in § 77-5 above. At said hearing, all parties having ownership interest in the property at issue shall be afforded the opportunity to be represented by counsel, question witnesses, offer proof and arrange for stenographic recording of said hearing. Adjournments and continuances of said hearing may be permitted by the Village Board for good cause with notice thereof to the respondent property owner.
When, in the opinion of the Code Enforcement Officer, there is imminent danger of the failure or collapse of a building or structure or any part thereof which endangers life or property or when a building or structure or part thereof has fallen or collapsed and renders occupancy of the premises dangerous or unsafe, the Code Enforcement Officer shall have the right to require the occupants to vacate the same forthwith and, upon approval of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Springville, order the demolition of the building or structure or any part thereof. In such cases when the Code Enforcement Officer shall require the vacation or demolition of a building or structure, the Code Enforcement Officer shall immediately cause a notice to be posted conspicuously at or about the premises reading substantially as follows: "These premises are dangerous and unsafe and their use or occupancy is prohibited. Village of Springville Code Enforcement Officer." Thereafter, no person shall enter upon such premises except for the purpose of making required repairs or of demolishing the unsafe building or structure or part thereof or for the purpose of inspection in connection therewith.
When, in the opinion of the Code Enforcement Officer, a vacant building or structure creates an imminent danger to life or property such that a hearing pursuant to § 77-7 cannot be accommodated, the Code Enforcement Officer, upon such notice to the property owners as is feasible and upon approval of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Springville, shall arrange for the repair, enclosure and/or security of said building or structure.
Any person, firm, corporation or association wishing to demolish or repair a building or structure in the Village of Springville for any reason shall make application per Chapter 73 for a permit to the Code Enforcement Officer and pay the fee as provided in § 73-16, Fees, of the Code of the Village of Springville. The application procedure for a permit under this chapter shall be the same as for a building permit.
Any person committing an offense against any provision of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be punishable as provided in Chapter 1, General Provisions, Article II, Penalties for Offenses, of the Code of the Village of Springville.
The provisions of this chapter shall be in addition to and in furtherance of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code in the Property Maintenance Code of New York State.
