Peekskill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 332 § 332-14
Extension of time limit for compliance
Operative Text
The chief officer of the bureau may extend in writing the compliance time specified in any notice or order issued under the provisions of this chapter upon written request of the person served with a notice of violation under § 332-12 herein, where there is evidence of intent to comply within the period specified, provided that reasonable conditions exist which prevent immediate compliance.
Peekskill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 332 § 332-14 establishes a mechanism by which the deadline set in a housing violation notice or order can be formally extended. The bureau's chief officer holds the authority to grant such an extension in writing, but only when the person who received the notice has submitted a written request and can demonstrate both a genuine intent to comply and reasonable circumstances that make immediate compliance impractical. The extension is discretionary — it is not automatically granted simply because a request is made.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 332-14, property owners or managers who receive a notice of violation pursuant to § 332-12 and find themselves unable to meet the stated compliance deadline due to circumstances beyond their immediate control have a formal avenue to seek more time. A compliant operator generally submits a written extension request to the bureau's chief officer before the deadline lapses, clearly documenting the intent to remedy the violation and explaining the conditions preventing timely compliance. Maintaining records of contractor bids, supply delays, permit timelines, or other supporting evidence is consistent with the kind of showing the provision contemplates.

Section 332-14 of Peekskill's Code of Ordinances means that a landlord's compliance deadline on a housing violation order is not necessarily fixed — the bureau's chief officer can grant the landlord additional time if certain conditions are met. Tenants should be aware that an extension does not eliminate the underlying violation or the landlord's obligation to correct it; the duty to comply remains in place. Tenants who have concerns about how an extension affects their living conditions may contact the Peekskill housing bureau directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options are generally available.
