Under Newark, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 § 90-33, when a property owner or operator fails to comply with a previously issued violation notice, the Code Enforcement Officer is authorized to order the affected dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, or rooming unit to be vacated. The vacate order must be formally served on the owner, agent, operator, and occupant in the manner specified by § 90-24 of the same chapter. This provision gives local code enforcement a mechanism to protect occupants and the public when housing violations go unaddressed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 90-33, a Code Enforcement Officer can escalate an unresolved violation notice into a formal vacate order covering the entire dwelling or individual unit. Compliant operators generally respond promptly to any violation notice issued under § 90-24 to prevent the situation from reaching the vacate-order stage. Maintaining records of corrective actions taken in response to violation notices can help demonstrate ongoing compliance efforts.

Section 90-33 of Newark's housing code means that if your landlord has not corrected a cited violation, the Code Enforcement Officer has the authority to order your unit or building vacated, and you are entitled to receive a copy of that notice. Receiving a vacate order is a serious housing event, and tenants in this situation may want to contact Newark's code enforcement office to understand the basis and timeline of the order. Tenant-rights organizations can also help occupants understand what options may be available when a vacate order is issued under § 90-33.
