Farmingdale board sets hearing on Chapter 433 rental‑unit inspections, proposes $300 fee
Summary
Trustees set a public hearing to amend Chapter 433 (Rental Dwelling Units) to impose a two‑year inspection fee of $300, with penalties of $100 after 30 days and another $100 after 60 days; unpaid charges would be added to property taxes.
The Board voted on Aug. 19 to set a public hearing to amend Village Code Chapter 433 (Rental Dwelling Units). The proposed amendment would establish a two‑year inspection fee of $300 and penalties of $100 for non‑payment after 30 days and an additional $100 after 60 days; unpaid fees and penalties would be added to the property’s tax bill for the following tax year (Resolution #2025-08-17).
Trustee Walter Priestley moved the resolution and Deputy Mayor William Barrett seconded it. The action schedules public comment and formal consideration of the fee structure; the Board did not adopt the ordinance at the work session and will consider public input at the scheduled hearing.
