Operative Text
All applications for variances shall be to the Department of State pursuant to 19 NYCRR Part 1205 .

This provision channels variance applications away from local bodies and toward a specific state-level process. The rule effectively standardizes how exceptions to the local code's requirements are sought and reviewed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Hudson Code § 176-17, property owners or managers who believe a provision of Chapter 176 creates an undue hardship or otherwise warrants an exception must submit their variance application to the New York State Department of State in accordance with 19 NYCRR Part 1205. Compliant operators familiarize themselves with the state-level procedural requirements before preparing any such application. Keeping documentation of the specific code requirement at issue and the grounds for the requested variance is a common practice when pursuing this process.

Section 176-17 of Hudson's Code of Ordinances means that if a landlord seeks a variance from Chapter 176's requirements, that request goes through the New York State Department of State under 19 NYCRR Part 1205—not a local board. Tenants may want to be aware of this process, as a granted variance could affect how the underlying code requirements apply to their housing. Tenant-rights organizations or legal aid services can help explain how the state variance process works and what, if any, opportunities exist for affected parties to participate.
