450 Violations Written Since Rockland’s Take Over of Sprig Valley Building’s Department

Since assuming control of the Village of Spring Valley Building Department, the Rockland County Office of Buildings and Codes has written 450 Notices of Violations citing nearly 4,000 violations.

Property owners are given an opportunity to remedy violations. If they are not corrected, fines are determined in an administrative hearing.

So far OBC has assessed $92,037 in civil penalties for violating New York State Uniform Codes of which $55,040 has been collected.

We will ensure every penny of issued fines are collected to hold landlords accountable for their negligence.

New York State directed the County of Rockland to undertake the unprecedented task of assuming the functions and responsibilities of building and code enforcement in the Village of Spring Valley and we remind residents that it will take time to correct decades of mismanagement and neglect of the NYS Uniform Codes in the Village.
