The Rockland County Office of Buildings and Codes is investigating at least 19 violations by Elegant Party Rental at 35 Commerce Street in Spring Valley stemming from possibly illegal construction. A complaint filed with the office led to the discovery of two shed-like structures that were possibly illegally constructed on the backend of neighboring commercial properties. Meanwhile, Rockland County Executive Ed Day says it’s too early to tell yet if the Wednesday fire at a Spring Valley apartment building had any code violations yet…
The fire remains under investigation. Day says the illegally constructed sheds cannot be used or occupied. The owner must apply to the Spring Valley Zoning Board of Appeals for a variance. If approved, the owner would need to re-apply for building permits at the County Office of Buildings and Codes and then have the structures inspected to ensure they fully comply with New York’s various codes.
