The notice of completion of the   tentative  assessment  roll,  published pursuant to section five hundred   six of this chapter, shall state that the assessors have  completed  the   tentative assessment roll, that a copy thereof has been left with one of   their number or the town clerk, as the case may be, at a specified place   where  it may be seen and examined by any person until the day specified   by law for the hearing of complaints in  relation  to  assessments,  and   that  on  such  day  the  board  of  assessment review will meet to hear   complaints in relation to assessments at a specified time and place  for   a  period  of  at  least four hours, not necessarily continuous, between   nine o'clock in the morning and ten o'clock in the  evening  but  in  no   event less than two hours after six o'clock in the evening. In addition,   such notice shall set forth (1) a statement that the assessor will be in   attendance  with  such  tentative  assessment  roll at a specified place   during a specified  period  of  at  least  four  hours  not  necessarily   continuous,  between  nine o'clock in the morning and ten o'clock in the   evening on at least four specified days after the first  publication  of   such  notice  and  before  the  day  the  board  of assessment review is   required to meet to hear  complaints  and  (2)  the  date  on  which  as   required  by  law  the  board  of  assessment  review  will meet to hear   complaints in relation to assessments of real  property,  the  place  of   such  meeting  and  the  hours  of such meeting as fixed by the board of   assessment review and (3) a  statement  that  a  publication  containing   procedures  for  contesting an assessment is available at the assessor's   office.2. The  tentative  assessment  roll  shall  be  available  for  public   inspection from the date the tentative roll is completed and filed until   and  including  the  day or days the board of assessment review meets to   hear complaints. The assessor or his or her designee is required  to  be   in  attendance with such roll at a specified place during a period of at   least four hours not necessarily continuous between nine o'clock in  the   morning  and ten o'clock in the evening on at least four days during the   public inspection period prior to the day such board is required to meet   to hear complaints; provided that at least two such  days  shall  be  at   least  ten  days  subsequent  to  the filing of the tentative assessment   roll, of which one day shall be a Saturday. On at least one of the  four   days  the  hours  of  attendance  by the assessor or his or her designee   shall include not less than two hours after six o'clock in the  evening.   Such number of days may be increased to more than four by local law.3.  On  or before the day that the board of assessment review meets to   hear complaints in relation to assessments, the assessor shall  transmit   to  such  board  all  complaints  filed with and assessment stipulations   entered into by him or her pursuant to section five hundred  twenty-four   of this title.4.  The  assessor shall attend all hearings of the board of assessment   review; provided, however, that when an assessor  is  employed  by  more   than one assessing unit, such assessor may designate a member or members   of his or her staff to attend, appear and act on behalf of such assessor   before  any  board  of  assessment review. Every member of an assessor's   staff, who is designated to act on behalf  of  such  assessor  before  a   board  of  assessment review, shall have all powers and authority of the   assessor who designated him or her.5. As soon as possible after receiving the verified statement prepared   by the board of  assessment  review  pursuant  to  subdivision  four  of   section  five hundred twenty-five of this title, the assessor shall make   the changes in assessments on the assessment  roll  in  accordance  with   such  verified  statement, shall certify on such verified statement that   he has recorded on the assessment roll the changes  set  forth  in  such    verified statement and shall file such verified statement with the final   assessment  roll  filed pursuant to section five hundred sixteen of this   article.
