Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 160 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 160-29
Final order
Operative Text
The failure of the applicant or his attorney to appear and participate at the administrative hearing shall result in the automatic affirmance of the denial. The denial shall stand and is final as to the Town of Huntington. The final order of denial shall be served upon the applicant or applicant’s attorney in the same manner as the original notice of denial.
Under Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 160 § 160-29, when a person who has been denied a permit or approval fails to show up and participate in the administrative hearing scheduled to contest that denial, the denial is automatically confirmed without further review. The denial then becomes final and binding at the Town of Huntington level. A formal written order reflecting that final denial must be delivered to the applicant or their attorney in the same way the original denial notice was sent.
Plain English — not legal advice.
For property owners or managers operating under ch. 160 § 160-29, a compliant approach to the administrative process generally involves ensuring that either the applicant or a designated attorney appears and actively participates at any scheduled hearing contesting a denial. Missing the hearing triggers an automatic affirmance, meaning the denial stands without any further opportunity to be heard at the Town level. Operators typically track hearing dates carefully and confirm receipt of all notices to avoid an unintended final order.

Under § 160-29, tenants or applicants who have received a denial and wish to challenge it should be aware that failing to appear at the administrative hearing results in the denial becoming automatically final. Once that final order is issued, it is served in the same manner as the original denial notice, and the Town of Huntington considers the matter closed at the administrative level. Those facing a denial may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource to understand what options, if any, remain after a final order is entered.
