Director Markunas Discusses Hurdles Launching OBC
New City, NY – It’s been 9 months since New York State directed the County of Rockland to undertake the unprecedented task of assuming the functions and responsibilities of building and code enforcement in the Village of Spring Valley and we remind residents that it will take time to correct decades of mismanagement and neglect of the NYS Uniform Codes in the Village.
Since assuming control of the Village of Spring Valley Building Department, the Rockland County Office of Buildings and Codes (OBC) Director Ed Markunas provided a deep dive this week into the hurdles and challenges faced since launching this effort.
The update includes a glimpse at Spring Valley’s prior record-keeping and inspection process and major changes made to enhance enforcement efforts for fire and building safety code violations.
