Tuckahoe, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 12 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 12-144
Final order
Operative Text
Any notice of violation provided for in § 12-141 shall automatically become a final order if written request for a hearing is not filed in the office of the Commissioner and Village Clerk within 10 days after receipt of the notice. A copy of the order shall be served as provided in § 12-141 of this chapter.
Under Tuckahoe, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 12 § 12-144, a notice of violation issued under § 12-141 carries a built-in deadline: if no written hearing request is filed with the Commissioner and Village Clerk within 10 days of receiving the notice, that notice automatically converts into a final order. Once it becomes final, the order is served using the same procedures described in § 12-141. This mechanism means the opportunity to contest the violation expires quickly and without further action by the issuing authority.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in Tuckahoe should be aware that under § 12-144, any notice of violation received under § 12-141 has a strict 10-day window for response. Compliant operators typically track the date a notice is received, confirm whether a hearing is warranted, and ensure any written hearing request is filed in the office of the Commissioner and Village Clerk before that window closes. Allowing the deadline to pass without a filing results in the notice automatically becoming a binding final order.

Tenants in Tuckahoe who receive a notice of violation under § 12-141 should understand that § 12-144 gives any recipient only 10 days from receipt to file a written hearing request with the Commissioner and Village Clerk before the notice becomes a final order.

Tenants facing this situation may benefit from consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Tuckahoe's local ordinances to understand what avenues remain available.
