In 1983 the Town of Addison, by Local Law, opted out of the enforcement of the State of New York Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. Since then Steuben County has contracted with a qualified code enforcement official. Permit fees cover the costs of said Code Enforcement Services and any costs not covered by permit fees are billed to the Town of Addison.
The Code Enforcement Official (CEO) in the Town of Addison on behalf of Steuben County is Marv Rethmel. You can email Marv Rethmel or call 607-590-8432.
