Newark, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 90-24
Notice of violation
Operative Text
A. 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 provisions of this chapter or any rule or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, he or she 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. Service shall be made either personally or, if not by personal service, sent by mail addressed to the owner at the address of record. If the letter is returned, a copy shall be posted in a conspicuous place in or about the structure affected by such notice. Service of such notice in the foregoing manner upon the owner's agent or upon the person responsible for the structure shall constitute service of notice upon the owner. Issuance of a summons by a Code Enforcement Officer or a member of the Newark Police Department having jurisdiction will also constitute service of notice. The notice shall also set forth the consequences and effect of failure to comply with the said notice, which may include monetary fines or liens placed on personal property. B. All notices shall contain the following statement: An appeal from any or every part of this notice may be taken to the Housing Code Board of Appeals, provided a written notice of appeal is served or mailed to the Building Inspector of the Village of Newark within 10 days after the receipt of this notice of violation. No appeal may be had after expiration of said ten-day period.
Newark, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 § 90-24 establishes the process by which the Code Enforcement Officer formally notifies responsible parties of housing code violations. The written notice must identify the specific alleged violation, set a reasonable deadline for correction, and spell out potential consequences such as monetary fines or property liens. Recipients have a 10-day window from receipt of the notice to file a written appeal with the Building Inspector of the Village of Newark if they wish to challenge any part of the notice.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Newark, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 § 90-24, compliant property owners and managers typically maintain a current address of record with the village so that any violation notice reaches them promptly. Operators who receive a written notice generally review the specified violation, take corrective action within the stated compliance period, and keep documentation of remediation efforts. If the notice is disputed, the 10-day appeal window to the Building Inspector is short, so operators commonly act quickly to evaluate whether an appeal to the Housing Code Board of Appeals is warranted.

Newark, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 § 90-24 gives tenants context for understanding what happens when a housing code violation is identified in their building — the Code Enforcement Officer must issue a written notice to the responsible party that names the violation and sets a compliance deadline. If a tenant believes a violation exists, they may contact the Code Enforcement Officer or the Village of Newark's building department to report conditions that may trigger this notice process. Tenants who receive or are affected by a notice and have questions about their rights can consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with New York housing law.
