Under Newburgh, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 190 § 190-15, code enforcement inspectors and other authorized personnel are required to carry official identification credentials and must show those credentials to occupants or owners upon request before or during entry into any dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, rooming unit, or premises. The rule establishes a baseline of transparency and accountability for government-initiated inspections. It applies any time an authorized inspector enters a covered property.

Section 190-15 of Newburgh's housing code means that property owners and managers can expect any code enforcement inspector who arrives at their property to carry official identification. A compliant operator generally asks to see that identification before granting entry, and keeps a record of the inspector's name and credentials as part of standard property management practice. Knowing this requirement helps operators distinguish authorized inspectors from unauthorized individuals claiming official status.

Under ch. 190 § 190-15 of the Newburgh Code of Ordinances, tenants have the right to ask any person claiming to be a code enforcement inspector to show official identification before entering their dwelling unit. If an inspector refuses to produce identification upon request, tenants may contact the Newburgh code enforcement agency directly to verify the individual's authorization. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local Newburgh ordinances can provide general information about what options may be available if this identification requirement is not followed.
