Johnson City, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 166 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 166-14
Jurisdiction
Operative Text
A. The Board shall hear and decide appeals from and review any order, requirement, decision or determination made by the enforcement officer. B. The concurring vote of three members of the Board shall be necessary to reverse any order, requirement, decision or notice of determination of the enforcement officer. Every decision of such Board is subject to review by the courts of competent jurisdiction. Such appeal may be taken subsequent to a decision by the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Section 166-14 of the Johnson City Code of Ordinances establishes the jurisdiction of the Board to hear and decide appeals challenging orders, requirements, decisions, or determinations made by the enforcement officer. To overturn any such enforcement action, at least three Board members must vote in favor of reversal. Any Board decision can be further reviewed by a court of competent jurisdiction, and an appeal may also follow a decision by the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 166-14, property owners and managers who receive an order or determination from the enforcement officer have a formal avenue to challenge that action before the Board. A compliant operator generally keeps thorough records of all enforcement communications so that any appeal can be supported with clear documentation. Because reversing an enforcement decision requires the concurring vote of three Board members, operators typically present well-organized evidence when pursuing this process.

Section 166-14 gives the Board authority to review enforcement officer decisions, which can be relevant to tenants when housing conditions or code compliance are at issue. Tenants who believe an enforcement determination affects their rights may look into whether an appeal to the Board—or subsequent court review—is an appropriate path to explore. Tenant-rights organizations in the Johnson City area can help residents understand how the appeals process under § 166-14 might apply to their circumstances.
