Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 124-58
Final order
Operative Text
(A) Grounds for a default. The notice of intent shall automatically become a final order if there is no compliance or compliance has not been achieved to the satisfaction of the Code Officer, or if there has been no request for an appeal within the period specified, or, if having requested an appeal, there has been no appearance at the hearing by the person who has requested the appeal. The resulting order shall be served in the same manner as the original notice. (B) Authority of Code Officer. In the event of a default as set forth in (A) above, the Code Officer shall post a placard on the property or, if applicable, on the defective equipment as access permits, and is authorized to take such other action as set forth in § 124-57(B)(7) .
Under Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 § 124-58, a notice of intent issued by the Code Officer automatically becomes a final order when a property owner fails to achieve satisfactory compliance, misses the deadline to request an appeal, or requests an appeal but does not appear at the scheduled hearing. Once a default occurs, the resulting final order must be served in the same manner as the original notice. The Code Officer is then empowered to post a placard on the property or defective equipment and to pursue additional enforcement actions authorized under § 124-57(B)(7).
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to a notice of intent under § 124-58 of Huntington's Code of Ordinances generally ensure that compliance is achieved to the Code Officer's satisfaction before any deadline expires, or that a timely appeal is both requested and attended. Operators who miss the appeal window or fail to appear at a scheduled hearing risk having the notice automatically convert into a final order, which can result in a placard being posted on the property and further enforcement measures under § 124-57(B)(7). Maintaining clear records of compliance efforts and any correspondence with the Code Officer is a practice commonly associated with avoiding default under this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants living in a property subject to § 124-58 of Huntington's Code of Ordinances should be aware that when a landlord defaults on a notice of intent—by failing to comply, missing the appeal deadline, or not appearing at a hearing—the notice automatically becomes a final order enforceable by the Code Officer. This can lead to visible consequences such as a placard being posted on the property or equipment, and may trigger additional enforcement actions under § 124-57(B)(7). Tenants who believe a violation exists or that enforcement is warranted may consider contacting the Huntington Code Officer's office directly or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for information about available options.
