Newburgh, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 190 § 190-25
Recording of notices
Operative Text
Whenever a notice or order has been issued for any infraction of this chapter, the head of the code enforcement agency may file a copy of such notice or order in the office of the City Clerk or agency having jurisdiction. Such recording shall constitute appropriate information of such notice or order to any subsequent purchaser, transferee, grantee, mortgagee or lessee of the property affected thereby.
Under Newburgh, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 190 § 190-25, when a notice or order is issued for a housing code violation, the head of the code enforcement agency has the authority to file a copy of that notice or order with the City Clerk or another agency of jurisdiction. Once filed, that recorded notice is considered legally sufficient notice to anyone who later buys, receives, mortgages, or leases the property — meaning future parties to a transaction cannot claim ignorance of the outstanding violation.

Property owners and managers subject to Newburgh, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 190 § 190-25 should be aware that any code enforcement notice or order issued against a property may be recorded with the City Clerk, creating a public record attached to the property itself. Compliant operators generally resolve outstanding violations promptly so that no such recorded notice clouds the property's title or discourages future buyers, lenders, or tenants. Unresolved recorded notices can follow a property through ownership changes, so operators typically confirm that violations are formally closed before completing any sale or lease transaction.
