Section 190-63 of the Newburgh Code gives tenants a basis to raise concerns when a residential structure has loose, overhanging, or unsecured objects on its exterior — including dangerous ice and snow accumulations — that have not been addressed. Tenants who observe such conditions may report them to the appropriate Newburgh code enforcement or housing inspection office, which has authority to require the property owner to remedy the hazard. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Newburgh housing code can help residents understand the range of options available when a landlord does not respond to such concerns.
