Request for hearing
Operative Text
Any person affected by any notice of violation issued in connection with the enforcement of any provision of this chapter or of any rule or regulation adopted pursuant thereto may request and shall be granted a hearing before the head of the code enforcement agency, provided that such person shall file, in the office of the head of the code enforcement agency, a written request for such hearing, setting forth a brief statement of the grounds therefor, designating the person and his address upon whom orders may be served and setting forth the reasons why such notice of violation should be modified or withdrawn. If this request is filed within 10 days after the service of notice of violation, compliance with such notice shall not be required while the hearing is pending.
Under Newburgh, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 190 § 190-28, anyone who receives a notice of violation related to the city's housing or property code has the right to request a formal hearing before the head of the code enforcement agency. To trigger this right, the affected person must submit a written request to that agency's office that briefly explains the grounds for the challenge, identifies a contact address for service of orders, and states why the violation notice should be modified or withdrawn. If that written request is filed within 10 days of receiving the notice, the person is not required to comply with the notice while the hearing remains pending.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to a notice of violation under ch. 190 § 190-28 should be aware that the ordinance provides a formal hearing pathway that can pause compliance obligations. Compliant operators typically keep careful records of when violation notices are served, since the 10-day window for filing a written hearing request is measured from the date of service. Operators generally ensure that any written hearing request submitted to the code enforcement agency's office includes a clear statement of grounds, a designated contact address for service of orders, and the specific reasons the notice should be modified or withdrawn.

Tenants and other affected parties have an explicit right under Newburgh, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 190 § 190-28 to contest a notice of violation by requesting a hearing before the head of the code enforcement agency. This right is preserved by filing a written request within 10 days of service of the notice, and doing so generally suspends any compliance requirement while the hearing is pending. Those who believe a violation notice is incorrect or unfair may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Newburgh's code enforcement process to understand the full range of options available.
