Newburgh, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 190 § 190-18
Notice of violation becomes final order
Operative Text
Any notice of violation provided for in § 190-16 shall automatically become a final order if a written request for a hearing is not filed in the office of the head of the code enforcement agency within 10 days after receipt of the notice.
Under Newburgh, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 190 § 190-18, a notice of violation issued under § 190-16 carries a built-in deadline: if no written hearing request is submitted to the head of the code enforcement agency within 10 days of receiving the notice, that notice automatically converts into a final order. This means the violation is treated as conclusively established without any further proceedings. The 10-day window begins running from the date the notice is received, not the date it is issued.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to a § 190-16 notice of violation should be aware that § 190-18 sets a strict 10-day window to contest the notice in writing with the head of the code enforcement agency. Compliant operators generally track the receipt date of any such notice and submit a timely written hearing request if they wish to dispute the findings. Allowing the deadline to pass without action results in the notice becoming a binding final order by operation of law.

Section 190-18 of Newburgh's Code of Ordinances means that if a landlord receives a § 190-16 notice of violation and does not request a hearing within 10 days, that notice becomes a final order — which can be relevant to tenants living in the affected property. Tenants may want to be aware of this timeline when monitoring whether code violations at their residence are being formally contested or allowed to become final. Local tenant-rights organizations or a housing attorney can help tenants understand what a final order means for their living situation and what options may be available to them.
