Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 176 § 176-13
Notice of hearing; time limit; rights of applicant
Operative Text
Upon receipt of a request for a hearing as provided in § 176-12 , the Code Enforcement Officer shall set a time and place for such hearing and shall give the applicant at least 10 days' written notice thereof. Such hearing shall commence not later than 30 days after the date on which the request was filed; however, hearings may be postponed beyond such thirty-day period for good and sufficient reason. At such hearing, the applicant or his representative shall be given an opportunity to show cause why such notice of violation should be modified or withdrawn.
Section 176-13 of Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 176 establishes the procedural framework for hearings requested in response to a notice of violation. Once a hearing is requested under § 176-12, the Code Enforcement Officer must schedule the hearing, provide at least 10 days' written notice to the applicant, and begin the hearing no later than 30 days after the request is filed, though postponements are allowed for good cause. At the hearing, the applicant or their representative has the opportunity to present arguments for why the violation notice should be changed or withdrawn.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 176-13, a property owner or manager who has received a notice of violation and requested a hearing can expect the Code Enforcement Officer to provide written notice of the hearing date and location at least 10 days in advance. Compliant operators generally keep records of when a hearing request was filed to confirm the 30-day commencement window is being observed, and they prepare documentation or representation to present at the hearing. Being organized and responsive to written notices from the Code Enforcement Officer is a hallmark of effective property management under this provision.

Section 176-13 establishes procedural rights that apply when a hearing is requested under § 176-12, which can be relevant to tenants in buildings where a violation notice has been issued. Tenants may want to be aware that the hearing process has defined timelines — at least 10 days' written notice and a start date within 30 days of the request — which are meant to ensure timely resolution. Tenant-rights organizations in the Hudson area can help explain how the hearing process under ch. 176 may intersect with tenant interests and what options may be available for participating in or monitoring the outcome.
