Newburgh, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 190 § 190-29
Hearing
Operative Text
Upon receipt of a request for a hearing as provided in § 190-28 , the head of the code enforcement agency shall set a time and a place for such hearing and shall give the applicant at least 10 days' written notice thereof. Such hearing shall commence not later than 30 days after the date on which the request was filed; however, hearings may be postponed beyond such thirty-day period for good and sufficient reason. At such hearing, the applicant, or his representative shall be given an opportunity to show cause why such notice of violation should be modified or withdrawn.
Section 190-29 of Newburgh's Code of Ordinances establishes the procedural framework for hearings requested in response to a notice of violation. Once a hearing request is received, the code enforcement agency must provide at least 10 days' written notice of the hearing's time and place, and the hearing must begin within 30 days of the filing date unless there is good cause for a postponement. At the hearing, the person who received the violation notice has the opportunity to present arguments for why that notice should be modified or withdrawn.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 190-29, property owners or managers who have received a notice of violation and requested a hearing can expect the code enforcement agency to schedule the proceeding and deliver written notice at least 10 days in advance. Compliant operators typically keep records of when the hearing request was filed to confirm the 30-day commencement window is being observed. Preparing documentation and evidence to demonstrate why the violation notice should be modified or withdrawn is a standard part of participating in this process.

Section 190-29 provides tenants and other applicants with procedural protections when contesting a notice of violation, including the right to at least 10 days' written notice before a hearing begins. The hearing must generally commence within 30 days of the request being filed, giving applicants a defined timeline to prepare their case. Tenants who believe a violation notice affects their housing situation may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to understand how to present their position at a § 190-29 hearing.
