Glen Cove Chapter 199 (Nuisances) and the property-maintenance provisions of Chapter 168 give Code Enforcement authority over blighted, unsafe and unsanitary properties, with abatement and chargeback for non-compliant owners.
Chapter 199 was adopted on 8-25-1981 and covers § 199-1 through § 199-14. It empowers the city to declare specific conditions - including unsightly fences, accumulated rubbish, dead vegetation, abandoned vehicles, vermin harborage and similar nuisances - as subject to summary abatement. Chapter 168 (Housing Standards) imposes minimum maintenance standards on residential structures. Both chapters can be enforced together for severely deteriorated buildings, with the city potentially seeking demolition orders for unsafe structures.
Penalties under § 1-15 (up to $1,000 / 15 days per day) plus full cost recovery for any city-performed abatement, recordable as a tax lien.
