Transfer of ownership restricted
Operative Text
No owner of any dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, rooming unit or premises upon whom any notice or order pursuant to this chapter has been served shall sell, transfer, grant, mortgage, lease or otherwise dispose of such property to another until compliance with the provisions of such notice or order has been secured, or until such owner shall furnish to the purchaser, transferee, grantee, mortgagee or lessee, prior to such sale, transfer, grant, mortgage or lease, a true copy of such notice or order and, at the same time, give adequate notification to the Code Enforcement Officer of his intent to sell, transfer, grant, mortgage or lease, and supply the name and address of such person, persons or firm to whom the sale, transfer, grant, mortgage or lease is proposed. A purchaser, transferee, grantee, mortgagee or lessee who has been informed of the existence of any notice or order issued pursuant to this code shall be bound thereby.
Section 176-10 of Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 176 restricts what an owner can do with a property that is subject to an outstanding housing code notice or order. Before selling, transferring, mortgaging, leasing, or otherwise conveying such a property, the owner must either bring the property into full compliance first, or formally disclose the notice or order to the incoming party and notify the Code Enforcement Officer of the intended transaction, including the name and address of the prospective buyer, lessee, or other recipient. Any person who receives the property after being informed of the outstanding notice or order becomes legally bound by it.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in Hudson, N.Y. should be aware that Section 176-10 creates a hold on certain transactions whenever a housing code notice or order is outstanding against a dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, rooming unit, or premises. A compliant operator either resolves the cited violation before proceeding with any sale, mortgage, or lease, or provides the incoming party with a true copy of the notice or order and simultaneously notifies the Code Enforcement Officer in writing, supplying the full name and address of the prospective transferee. Keeping thorough records of compliance efforts and all communications with the Code Enforcement Officer is a practice commonly associated with meeting the requirements of this section.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 176-10 of Hudson's housing code gives tenants and other incoming parties meaningful protections when a property changes hands while a code violation notice or order is pending. If a landlord or seller was required to disclose an outstanding notice or order under this provision, the incoming party — including a new tenant — is legally bound by that order, which also means the obligations attached to it carry forward and cannot simply be erased by a change in ownership. Tenants who believe a transfer occurred without proper disclosure or Code Enforcement Officer notification may wish to contact the Hudson Code Enforcement Office directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options are generally available under this section.
