Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 176 § 176-6
Notice of violation
Operative Text
Whenever the Code Enforcement Officer determines that there has been a violation or that there are reasonable grounds to believe that there has been a violation of any provision of this chapter or any rule or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, he shall give notice of such violation or alleged violation to the person or persons responsible for such violation. Such notice shall be in writing and shall specify the alleged violation and shall provide a reasonable time for compliance, and shall be served upon the owner, agent, operator or occupant, as the case may require. Such notice shall be deemed to be properly served upon such owner, agent, operator or occupant if a copy is served upon him personally; or if a copy thereof is sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, to the last known address of such person; or if a copy is posted in a conspicuous place in or about the building affected by the notice, and if a copy is mailed by registered mail on the same day it is posted to the owner, agent, operator or occupant; or by such other method authorized by the laws of the State of New York. Such notice shall inform the person to whom it is directed of his right to apply for a hearing before the Code Enforcement Officer as provided in § 176-12 of this chapter. Such notice may contain an outline of remedial action which, if taken, will effect compliance with the provisions of this chapter and with rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto.
Section 176-6 of Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 176 establishes the process by which the Code Enforcement Officer formally notifies responsible parties of housing code violations or alleged violations. The written notice must identify the specific violation, set a reasonable deadline for coming into compliance, and be delivered through an approved method such as personal service, registered mail, or conspicuous posting. The notice must also inform the recipient of their right to request a hearing under § 176-12 and may include an outline of corrective steps that would bring the property into compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 176-6 of Hudson's housing code, compliant property owners and operators generally maintain current mailing addresses on file with the city so that any written violation notice reaches them without delay. Upon receiving such a notice, operators typically review the specified violation and the compliance deadline, and may pursue the remedial actions outlined in the notice to resolve the matter. Owners and agents are also entitled to request a hearing before the Code Enforcement Officer as referenced in § 176-12, a right that the notice itself is required to communicate.

Section 176-6 of Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 176 means that occupants, not just owners or agents, may be served with a formal notice of violation when a Code Enforcement Officer identifies a housing code problem. As a recipient of such a notice, an occupant has the right to apply for a hearing before the Code Enforcement Officer under § 176-12, which provides a formal avenue to respond to or contest the alleged violation. Tenants who have questions about a notice they have received or about their rights under Hudson's housing code may find it helpful to consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office for general guidance.
