(2)
The placarding of residential structures shall occur as authorized
by the New York State Property Maintenance Code, New York State Fire
Code or subsequent superseding regulation.
B.
Notification. Prior to, or at the time of the placarding of a residential
structure, in accordance with the provisions of the New York State
Property Maintenance Code and New York State Fire Code, an authorized
designee shall notify the following agencies, either telephonically
or in writing via facsimile:
(1)
The Suffolk County Department of Social Services, to ensure the relocation
of all residents, if needed; and
(2)
The fire district in which the structure is located;
(3)
The Suffolk County Police Department, to whom the Town's police function
has been transferred pursuant to referendum, to ensure that the dangerous
structure remains unoccupied.
C.
The authorized official, after making the above notifications, shall
keep a record of the date, time and manner of such notifications.
There shall be created in the Office of the Town Attorney the
position of Code Compliance Coordination Officer. Appointment to such
position shall be made by the Town Attorney. The Code Compliance Coordination
Officer shall be contacted immediately by either the authorized official
who places the placard or his/her superior when he/she believes that
conditions exist which may result in the placarding of a residential
structure pursuant to the provisions of the New York State Property
Maintenance Code.
At all times while the placarding of a residential structure
pursuant to the provisions of the New York State Property Maintenance
Code is in effect, there shall be biweekly inspections by either the
Chief Fire Marshal, Chief Town Investigator or the Commissioner of
Planning and Development or one of their designees until such time
as all conditions are met for the removal of the placard on the subject
structure.
No person shall occupy a placarded premises or shall operate
placarded equipment. No person shall enter a placarded premises or
structure, other than a qualified technician making authorized repairs.
Any person found to be in violation of § 6A-5, Prohibited occupancy, shall be guilty of an unclassified misdemeanor and shall be subject to a fine of not less than $500 and no more than $10,000, or up to one year's imprisonment, or a term of probation permitted by law, or a combination of the aforementioned as permitted by law.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part of this
article shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to
be invalid or unconstitutional, such judgment shall not affect, impair,
or invalidate the remainder thereof but shall be confined in its operation
to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or part thereof directly
involved in the controversy and in which such judgment shall have
been rendered.
This article shall take effect immediately upon filing in the
office of the Secretary of State.
