Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 176 § 176-18
Promulgation of rules; effect of rules
Operative Text
The Code Enforcement Officer is authorized to make and adopt such written rules and regulations as may be necessary for the proper enforcement and interpretation of this chapter and to secure the intent thereof. Such rules and regulations shall not be in conflict with the provisions of this chapter or any other ordinances of the City of Hudson, nor shall they have the effect of waiving any provisions of this chapter or any other ordinance. Such rules and regulations shall have the same force and effect as the provisions of this chapter, and the penalty for violation thereof shall be the same as the penalty for violation of the provisions of this chapter. Such rules and regulations shall be submitted to the Common Council by the Building Inspector. Failure of the Common Council to approve, reject or modify such rules and regulations within 30 days after submission shall be deemed to constitute approval thereof. Said rules and regulations, as approved by the Common Council, shall be on file and available as a matter of public record.
Under Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 176 § 176-18, the Code Enforcement Officer has authority to create written rules and regulations to clarify and carry out the chapter's requirements, provided those rules do not conflict with or waive any existing city ordinances. Once drafted, the rules are submitted to the Common Council, which has 30 days to approve, reject, or modify them — silence within that window counts as approval. Approved rules carry the same legal weight as the chapter itself, and violations of those rules are subject to the same penalties as violations of the underlying chapter.

Property owners and managers operating under ch. 176 § 176-18 should be aware that the Code Enforcement Officer may issue supplemental written rules that carry full regulatory force once approved by the Common Council. Compliant operators generally monitor the public record for newly adopted rules, since those rules are filed and available as public documents. Because violations of these administrative rules trigger the same penalties as violations of the chapter itself, staying current with any rule updates is a standard part of responsible property management in Hudson.

Section 176-18 of Hudson's Code of Ordinances ensures that any rules the Code Enforcement Officer adopts to implement the chapter are publicly available as a matter of record, giving tenants a means to review the full scope of applicable requirements. If a landlord's conduct appears to violate either the chapter or any supplemental rules adopted under this provision, tenants can reference those publicly filed rules when raising a concern with the Code Enforcement Officer or the Common Council. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Hudson's local code can help residents understand how these administrative rules interact with their housing rights.
