The City of Syracuse is introducing an Emergency Abatement Program to remediate code violations that create an immediate threat or repeated threat to the health and safety of tenants in occupied rental housing. The goal of this program is to prevent unnecessary tenant displacement and housing instability due to safety and habitability issues that go unaddressed by the owner or property manager and to invest in the preservation of rental housing stock. Contractors with relevant work experience in plumbing, HVAC, roofing, electrical, or structural work are encouraged to submit qualifications to join the City’s qualified contractor pool. All work shall be consistent with the requirements of the City of Syracuse and be pursuant to all other relevant city, state, and international building code standards.
