Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 176 § 176-9
Extension of time for compliance
Operative Text
The Code Enforcement Officer may extend the compliance time specified in any notice or order issued under the provisions of this chapter where there is evidence of intent to comply within the period specified, provided that reasonable conditions exist which prevent immediate compliance.
Section 176-9 of Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 176 gives the Code Enforcement Officer discretionary authority to grant additional time beyond a compliance deadline stated in a notice or order. Two conditions must both be present for an extension to be available: the recipient must have shown a genuine intent to comply, and there must be reasonable circumstances that make immediate compliance impractical. The provision does not create an automatic right to more time; the decision rests with the enforcement officer.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 176-9, property owners or managers who receive a compliance notice or order and cannot meet the stated deadline may have a path to an extension if they can demonstrate both a clear intent to comply and a legitimate reason why compliance within the original period is not feasible. Compliant operators typically document their remediation efforts, communicate proactively with the Code Enforcement Officer, and keep records of any conditions—such as contractor availability or supply delays—that support a request for additional time. Maintaining this paper trail helps substantiate the two statutory conditions the officer must find before granting relief under this section.

Section 176-9 governs how the Code Enforcement Officer can adjust deadlines set in housing-related notices or orders issued under ch. 176, which can affect how quickly a landlord must address a cited condition in a rental unit. Tenants who are aware of an open compliance order may want to monitor whether an extension has been granted and whether the underlying conditions justifying it are genuine, since extensions are only permitted when both intent to comply and reasonable obstacles are present. Tenant-rights organizations in Hudson or the City's code enforcement office can be consulted to understand how a pending extension under this provision may affect a specific housing complaint.
