Newark, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 90-16
Coordination of enforcement
Operative Text
Inspection of premises and the issuing of orders in connection therewith under the provisions of this chapter shall be the exclusive responsibility of the Code Enforcement Officer of the municipality. Wherever, in the opinion of the Code Enforcement Officer, it is necessary or desirable to have inspections of any condition by any other department, he or she shall arrange for this to be completed in such manner that the owners or occupants of buildings shall not be subjected to visits by numerous inspectors nor to multiple or conflicting orders. No order for correction of any violation under this chapter shall be issued without the approval of the Code Enforcement Officer.
Under Newark, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 § 90-16, the Code Enforcement Officer holds sole authority over property inspections and the issuance of correction orders within the chapter's scope. When input from other municipal departments is needed, the Code Enforcement Officer is responsible for coordinating those inspections so that property owners and occupants are not subjected to redundant visits or contradictory directives. No correction order for a violation under this chapter can be issued without the Code Enforcement Officer's explicit approval.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 90 § 90-16, compliant property owners and managers generally deal with a single point of contact — the Code Enforcement Officer — rather than fielding visits from multiple inspectors or receiving conflicting orders from different departments. Operators familiar with this provision understand that any correction order they receive must have been approved by the Code Enforcement Officer, which provides a clear chain of accountability. Keeping records of all inspection notices and orders, along with the dates received, helps operators track compliance obligations under this coordinated framework.

Section 90-16 of Newark, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 establishes that tenants and occupants are entitled to a coordinated inspection process, meaning they should not face repeated visits from multiple inspectors or receive conflicting correction orders. If a tenant believes inspections or orders are being issued outside this coordinated structure, they may consider contacting the Code Enforcement Officer's office directly to seek clarification. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Newark's housing code can also help occupants understand how this provision applies to their building's inspection history.
