Malone, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 29 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 29-4
Appeals
Operative Text
A. The Board of Trustees is hereby designated to hear and decide any appeals or review any order, requirement, determination or decision made by the Fair Housing Officer. B. Any person aggrieved by a determination or action of the Fair Housing Officer shall file a request for review to the Board of Trustees within 30 days of the determination or decision. C. Upon receiving a request for review, the Board of Trustees will schedule a hearing on the appeal and notify all parties thereof. The Board of Trustees shall make a decision on the appeal within 35 days of the hearing. The Board of Trustees may reverse or affirm, wholly or in part, or may modify any order, requirement, decision or determination of the Fair Housing Officer.
Section 29-4 of Malone's Code of Ordinances establishes an appeals process for decisions made by the Fair Housing Officer. Any person who disagrees with a Fair Housing Officer's determination has 30 days to request a review before the Board of Trustees, which must then schedule a hearing and issue a decision within 35 days of that hearing. The Board of Trustees holds broad authority to reverse, affirm, or modify any order or determination that comes before it on appeal.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 29-4, property owners or managers who receive an adverse determination from the Fair Housing Officer have a defined window—30 days—in which a compliant operator would typically file a request for review with the Board of Trustees if they wish to contest the decision. Operators generally document all relevant correspondence and dates carefully, since the 30-day filing deadline is a firm procedural requirement under this section. The Board of Trustees is empowered to modify or reverse the Fair Housing Officer's decision, making this appeal pathway a meaningful avenue for contesting outcomes.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 29-4 gives tenants and other aggrieved parties the right to appeal any determination or action taken by the Fair Housing Officer by filing a review request with the Board of Trustees within 30 days of the decision. Once a request is filed, the Board must schedule a hearing and render a decision within 35 days, providing a structured timeline for resolution. Tenants who believe a Fair Housing Officer's decision was incorrect may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to understand how this appeals process applies to their circumstances.
