Why is the Village of Pelham Manor so fussy about requiring building permits for every little thing?
A. Most importantly, the Village of Pelham Manor takes its responsibility of enforcing the provisions of the New York State Residential Code very seriously. In addition, up to date building records are a valuable resource for banks when approving financing, insurance companies when determining insurable value for premiums or property losses and, in general, for helping to ensure that property taxes are allocated equitably among all property owners.
