Certificate Holder Mailing Address

Richard Osborne, Code Enforcement Officer
107 Main Street
Windsor, NY 13865

Use this address when the jurisdiction needs to be listed as a certificate holder on a contractor's insurance documentation.

Additional Notes

Code Enforcement Officer Richard Osborne is reached through the main Village office line. A department email exists on the village site but is Cloudflare-obfuscated and could not be reliably decoded to plain text, so it was omitted rather than guessed. The separate Town of Windsor operates its own Code Enforcement/Zoning Office (124 Main St, (607) 655-3118, townofwindsorny.gov) — a distinct jurisdiction from the Village; do not conflate the two, though residents sometimes reach the Town office by mistake.

What You Need Before Applying for a Permit

Most building departments ask for the same core package before they'll issue a permit: a completed application naming the property owner and contractor, the contractor's state license number and proof of insurance (general liability, and workers' comp if employees are on the job), a notice of commencement or equivalent recorded filing for larger jobs where the state requires one, and scaled plans or a site plan for anything beyond minor repairs. Roofing, fence, pool, and solar permits typically have their own simplified checklists — Village of Windsor's department (above) can confirm exactly what applies to your project.

Why this matters for insurance: permit history is one of the first things an underwriter or adjuster checks. Unpermitted work — a finished basement, an added bedroom, a rebuilt roof — can complicate a claim or even void coverage for that portion of the loss, and it routinely surfaces during a home inspection. Pulling the right permit up front, and keeping the closed-permit record on file, protects both the property's value and its insurability at resale.
