The state gave the village 30 days from Oct 6 to make the changes or face state action. The overall inadequacy of the housing inspections — as well as problems with slum housing and absentee landlords — led County Executive Ed Day to order the Rockland County Department of Health to use the county’s sanitary code to inspect housing across the county.
