Auburn, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 182 § 182-62
Order to vacate
Operative Text
Whenever a notice of violation, as provided in § 182-67 of this chapter, has not been complied with, the Housing Code Inspector may order the dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, or rooming unit to be vacated. A copy of such notice to vacate shall be served on the owner, agent, operator, and the occupant, as provided in § 182-67 of this chapter.
Under Auburn, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 182 § 182-62, when a property owner or operator fails to comply with a previously issued notice of violation, the Housing Code Inspector is authorized to order a dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, or rooming unit to be vacated. The order to vacate must be formally served on the owner, agent, operator, and occupant in accordance with the procedures set out in § 182-67 of the same chapter. This provision gives inspectors a meaningful enforcement tool beyond the initial notice when violations go unaddressed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 182-62, a failure to remedy conditions cited in a notice of violation can escalate to an order requiring the property to be vacated — a significant operational and financial disruption. Compliant operators generally address all items listed in a notice of violation within the timeframe specified and maintain documentation of corrective actions taken. Staying in communication with the Housing Code Inspector and resolving violations promptly are practices that operators in Auburn typically follow to avoid reaching the vacate-order stage.

Section 182-62 of Auburn's housing code gives occupants a right to receive formal notice if a vacate order is issued — the law requires that a copy be served on the occupant, not just the owner or operator. If you receive such a notice or believe a vacate order has been improperly issued, tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help you understand what options may be available. Tenants may also wish to review § 182-67, which governs how notices must be served, to determine whether proper procedures were followed.
