hello can anyone explain the scope of authority of a town of oyster bay code enforcement agent. I know they are re-active in nature as opposed to pro active but can they respond to a written complaint on one issue and then make observations and add on multiple alledged violations? I had a code guy come to my house on a anonymous to me complaint so I'm not even sure what the original issue was but because I have requested him to furnish me with the town codes I was in violation of he has become upset and is threatening me with writting additional summons. He listed multiple violations on his notice of violation and I intend to adress each alledged violation. I just want to know if he can respond to one complaint and then go on a witch hunt? thanks ps sorry for the spelling error in the title

hey codejoke! go back and re read my post ! There is no dought he will come up with some codes you are in violation on but! the real issue here is that as I state most if not all city's and town are in fact complaint driven not pro-active, now the code officer is in violation of your rights to due process ( constitutional law violation ) . this is more serious they your so called code violation , so force him to reveal who complained , then they ( the city code officer) will have to show how that person was injured . Thats the issue here . Without revealiung the complaintent there is no action that code enforcement can get involved in , end of matter.

I watch the town of Huntington zoning board of appeals hearings on CH 18 Cable vision and they pick up all sorts of other code violations on a home in addition to the original complaint to me its sad they should issue brown shirts to these people,they make it sound like they are doing you a big favor.
