Oneida, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 77 § 77-35
Extension of compliance time
Operative Text
The Chief Officer of the Agency may in his discretion extend the compliance time specified in any notice or order, issued under the provisions of this chapter where there is evidence of intent to comply within the period specified, provided that reasonable conditions exist which prevent immediate compliance. No such extension shall be granted except on written application stating the reasons therefor nor shall it be given for more than 90 days without further written application.
Under Oneida, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 77 § 77-35, the Chief Officer of the Agency has discretionary authority to grant additional time beyond the deadline set in a housing compliance notice or order. An extension may only be approved when there is evidence that the responsible party intends to comply and when reasonable conditions exist that prevent immediate compliance. Extensions are not automatic — they require a written application explaining the reasons, and no single extension may exceed 90 days without a new written application.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners or managers who have received a notice or order under ch. 77 and cannot meet the stated compliance deadline may seek relief under § 77-35 by submitting a written application to the Chief Officer of the Agency. A compliant operator generally documents the specific conditions preventing timely compliance and demonstrates a clear intent to remedy the violation within the requested period. Because no extension exceeds 90 days without a further written application, operators managing longer remediation timelines typically plan for successive applications well before each deadline expires.

Section 77-35 of Oneida's ch. 77 gives the Agency's Chief Officer discretion to extend a landlord's compliance deadline, which can affect how quickly a housing violation is corrected in a rental property. Tenants have an interest in knowing whether an extension has been granted, since it may delay resolution of conditions cited in a notice or order. Tenants who believe an extension is being misused or that conditions remain hazardous may consider contacting the Agency directly, reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization, or exploring whether the extension affects any legal remedies available to them.
