Tuckahoe, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 12 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 12-147
Record of hearing
Operative Text
The Village Clerk shall keep a summary of testimony and a copy of every relevant notice or order, the request for a hearing, entries of appearance, findings of fact, if any, and the final determination and such record shall be maintained as a public record.
Section 12-147 of Tuckahoe's Code of Ordinances requires the Village Clerk to compile and preserve a formal record of each hearing. This record includes a summary of testimony, relevant notices or orders, the hearing request, entries of appearance, any findings of fact, and the final determination. Because the record is designated a public record, it is accessible to members of the public.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Section 12-147, the Village Clerk—not the landlord—is responsible for maintaining the official hearing record, but property owners and managers should be aware that all documents submitted during a hearing, including notices and orders, become part of that permanent public record. Compliant operators generally retain their own copies of any materials they submit or receive in connection with a hearing. Knowing that the record is publicly accessible can inform how operators document and present their positions during proceedings.

Section 12-147 establishes that the hearing record—including testimony summaries, notices, findings of fact, and the final determination—is a public record maintained by the Village Clerk. Tenants who participated in a hearing, or who are affected by its outcome, may request access to that record through the Village Clerk's office. Tenant-rights organizations can help individuals understand how to obtain and use these records in connection with their housing situation.
