Port Jervis, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 319 § 319-23
Appeals from Board
Operative Text
Any person or persons jointly or severally aggrieved by any final order of the Board of Appeals may seek to have such order reviewed by the Supreme Court in the manner prescribed by Article 78 of the New York State Civil Practice Law and Rules.
Section 319-23 of Port Jervis, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 319 establishes a judicial review pathway for decisions made by the Board of Appeals. Any individual or group that is harmed or dissatisfied by a final Board order may challenge that decision in New York Supreme Court through an Article 78 proceeding, which is a standard mechanism under state law for reviewing the actions of administrative bodies. The provision does not set a separate local appeals process; it directs aggrieved parties to the state court system.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 319-23, a landlord who receives an adverse final order from the Board of Appeals is not without recourse — state law provides a defined path to seek judicial review in New York Supreme Court via an Article 78 proceeding. Operators who believe a Board decision was arbitrary, unlawful, or unsupported by the record generally document the full administrative record and act within the strict time limits that Article 78 imposes. Consulting with a licensed New York attorney familiar with administrative proceedings is a common step for property owners considering this route.

Section 319-23 means that tenants, like any other aggrieved party, have the right to seek review of a final Board of Appeals order in New York Supreme Court through an Article 78 proceeding if they believe the Board's decision was improper. Article 78 proceedings carry specific filing deadlines under state law, so understanding those timelines is important for anyone considering this path. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid offices can help explain what an Article 78 review involves and whether it may be relevant to a particular Board outcome.
