Newark, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 90-29
Extension of compliance time
Operative Text
The Code Enforcement Officer may extend the compliance time specified in any notice or order issued under the provisions of this chapter where there is evidence of intent to comply within the period specified, provided that reasonable conditions exist which prevent immediate compliance.
Under Newark, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 § 90-29, the Code Enforcement Officer has discretionary authority to grant additional time beyond a compliance deadline set in a notice or order. Two conditions must both be present for an extension to be considered: the recipient must have shown a genuine intent to comply, and there must be reasonable circumstances that make immediate compliance impractical. This provision does not create an automatic right to an extension; it leaves the decision to the officer's judgment.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to a compliance notice or order under ch. 90 should be aware that § 90-29 allows the Code Enforcement Officer to grant more time when good-faith efforts toward compliance are evident. Operators who document their remediation steps, communicate proactively with the Code Enforcement Officer, and identify specific obstacles to timely completion are generally better positioned to demonstrate the intent and reasonable conditions the provision requires. Keeping written records of contractor bids, material delays, or other impediments can support a request for extended time under this section.

Section 90-29 of Newark, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 governs when a landlord's compliance deadline may be pushed back by the Code Enforcement Officer, which can affect how quickly housing conditions are corrected. Tenants have an interest in knowing whether an extension has been granted and on what basis, since the provision requires both demonstrated intent to comply and reasonable conditions preventing immediate action. Tenants who have concerns about a delayed correction may contact the Newark Code Enforcement Office directly, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization, to understand the status of any open order.
