Board sets April 15 public hearing on NYMIR-recommended 'prior written notice' local law
Summary
The Hopewell Town Board set a public hearing for April 15, 2026 on a Local Law creating a prior written notice (Notice of Defects) requirement, following strong recommendation from NYMIR to reduce liability.
The board voted March 18 to set a public hearing on a proposed local law establishing prior written notice for notice-of-defects claims. Supervisor William Namestnik said the insurer NYMIR "is highly recommending this Local Law to prevent liability." The hearing was scheduled for the next Town Board meeting on April 15, 2026 at 7:00 PM (motion carried Ayes 3, Nays 0).
The local-law proposal was presented as a liability-mitigation measure per the town's insurer; the board did not adopt the law at this meeting but set the hearing so residents may comment before any formal enactment.
