Under § 108-54, property owners and managers should be aware that any order issued by a city officer or department — such as a code enforcement directive — may be subject to challenge in the New York Supreme Court via an Article 78 proceeding. Operators who receive such orders and believe them to be improper generally document the basis for their objection and act within applicable time limits, since Article 78 proceedings carry strict filing deadlines.
