Building Permits: When Don’t You Need Them?
Many times residents are not aware or are in doubt whether they are required to obtain a permit for various repairs. In 1977, the State of New Jersey adopted the Uniform Construction Code, known as the U.C.C. The U.C.C. regulates when a construction permit is required. The regulation states, “A building or structure shall not be constructed, extended, repaired, removed, or altered “EXCEPT FOR ORDINARY REPAIRS”.
- Exterior and interior painting.
- Installation, repair or replacement of any interior finishes of less than 25 percent of the wall area in any given room, in a one or two family dwelling. This includes plastering and drywall installation. *Paneling shall not be considered an ordinary repair.
- Wall papering or vinyl wall covering.
- Replacement of glass in any window or door. Replacement glass shall be of a type and quality that complies with the minimum requirements of the code.
- Installation and replacement of any window or door, including garage doors, in the same opening without altering the dimensions or framing of the original opening. This shall include storm windows and storm doors. Installation and replacement of means of egress and emergency escape windows and doors may be made in the same opening without altering the dimensions or framing of the original opening, and shall not reduce the required height, width, or net clear opening of the previous window or door.
- Repair of any non-structural member such as a partition railing or kitchen cabinet.
- Repair or replacement of any interior or exterior trim, decoration or moldings.

Dozens of code violations issued in massive investigation on Long Island
Inspectors randomly inspected 42 residences this week, mostly around the Hampton Bays.
"In fact, 17 properties had no violations," said Town Code and Compliance and Emergency Management Administrator Steven Troyd. "This should be a warning to all landlords throughout the town, make sure you are in compliance with all town codes or you will face fines or incarceration."
It's one of the largest investigations of its kind in the town in recent history, officials tell Eyewitness News.
The town says it has issued a notice to the owner of a home on Hills Station Road in Shinnecock Hills for having 17 people living in a four bedroom house. The town says rooms were built in the basement, which is against code.
There also were no smoke alarms. The town says the owner of that property has been cited eight times in the past for failure to secure rental permits.
Town officials said they also issued notices to the Bel-Aire Cove Motel in Hampton Bays for having bedbugs and roaches. The town says within the past month the motel was without power for four days because it didn't pay its electric bill.
The owners of the properties have a certain length of time to fix the violations or face further penalties. The duration they have to remedy the violations depends upon the type of violation and if they have received one in the past.
The town says it conducted the investigations because it's a life and safety issue.
Code Enforcement
Code Enforcement in the Town of Southampton involves many sections of the town code. The code is viewable online.
Violation Investigations
We investigate violations such as:
- Property maintenance issues
- Litter and debris
- Overcrowded houses
- Parking complaints
- Noise complaints
- Rental law permit violations
- Peddler permit investigations
- Taxi permit investigations
- Building without a permit
Code Enforcement officials are sensitive to needs of the residents and investigate all complaints in an expeditious manner. If you report a complaint that we do not investigate, we will direct you to the proper department to resolve the situation.
Online Complaints
In an effort to become more efficient in our work, early in 2008, we added an online link to permit emailing of complaints directly to Code Enforcement. This has met with tremendous success and we have addressed many issues for the residents in this manner. Report a violation online.
Foreclosure Registration Program
The Town of Southampton has partnered with PROCHAMPS.com to administer its Foreclosure Property Registration program. In order to comply with the Foreclosure Property Registration Ordinance (Chapter 262 of the Code of the Town of Southampton) all Owners/Mortgagees/Trustees in possession of a foreclosed property or a party bringing a foreclosure action must register online via PROCHAMPS.com and pay a registration fee. Register with PROCHAMPS.com
Schedule
The department works seven days a week, primarily during the normal business hours. During the summer time, extended hours are scheduled to provide for investigation of weekend code violations that are reported.

SOUTHAMPTON, NY — Southampton Town has begun to warn residents of strategic code enforcement crackdowns in their communities.
Southampton has created a "compliance through education" component to a program aimed at strategic enforcement.
Letters are now being mailed to property owners, letting them know about the code enforcement efforts, meant to help enhance public safety, the town said.

According to town officials in the code enforcement department, as well as property owners in the Hamptons West area near Gabreski Airport, the move appears to be working.
So far, 135 letters along with copies of the law were sent out in December, warning property owners in Hamptons West that a strategic operation in their area would be coming in January.

Many property owners have called the code enforcement department, and have come into Town Hall seeking rental permits and asking what needs to be done to bring their properties up to code, town officials said.
"We already have had people come into the office and fill out permit applications as a result of those letters," said Public Safety and Emergency Management Administrator Steven Troyd. "Our goal is compliance and public safety."
The new approach comes on the heels of 3 recent crackdowns around Southampton Town, a release from Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman said.
Last week, a strategic code enforcement operation spotlighting the Old Quogue Road/Riverside area uncovered several violations, including overcrowded houses and excessive vehicles, town officials reported.
Code enforcement officers inspected 24 properties and issued 17 notices of violation and 2 summonses for illegal rentals, overcrowding, litter and debris, and excessive vehicles, Schneiderman's release said.
Two other strategic inspections; in October in the Hampton Bays area and in November in the Flanders/Riverside area, found numerous violations.
Violators are given 30 days to comply before inspectors return to make sure the properties have been brought into compliance with town code, town officials said.

I am so I wanted to try your sperm and now you finished so much of it in my mouth. My son-in-law flipped the switch and turned on the light in the room, Oleg stood in my wife's nightgown and I stood. Next to him naked with a fallen member. - But it's not fair Vit. - I gave you my sperm to drink.
