Building Codes

The Code Enforcement Officer is in place to enforce the New York State building and fire code within the Village of Poland. He also ensures that all local zoning and planning laws are followed, issues building permits, makes periodic and final inspections, and will issue a certificate of compliance or a certificate of occupancy when work is completed to code. 

Effective June 1, 2008 the Village Codes Enforcer position will be eliminated and it will be the responsibility of the mayor "to provide for the enforcement of all laws, local laws, rules and regulations and to cause all violations thereof to be prosecuted".  This is pursuant to Village Law Section 4-400(1)(b).
