Newark, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 90-35
Form of notice
Operative Text
Whenever the Code Enforcement Officer has declared a structure as unfit for human habitation, he or she shall give notice to the owner of such declaration and placard the structure as unfit for human occupancy. Such notice shall: A. Be in writing. B. Include a description of the real estate sufficient for identification. C. Include a statement of the reason or reasons why it is being issued. D. State the time to correct the conditions. E. State the time the occupants must vacate the structure. F. Include the statement for appeal.
Under Newark, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 § 90-35, when a Code Enforcement Officer formally declares a structure unfit for human habitation, that determination must be communicated to the property owner in a written notice and physically posted on the structure. The notice must identify the property, explain the reasons for the declaration, set deadlines for correcting the conditions and for occupants to vacate, and inform recipients of their right to appeal. This provision establishes the minimum informational requirements that make such a declaration legally complete and actionable.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners subject to a declaration under Newark, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 § 90-35 should expect to receive a written notice that identifies the property, details the specific conditions triggering the declaration, and sets out two distinct deadlines — one for remedying the conditions and one by which occupants must leave. Compliant operators typically review the stated reasons carefully, document the current condition of the property, and take note of the appeal statement included in the notice, since that statement outlines the formal process for contesting the declaration. Keeping records of all correspondence with the Code Enforcement Officer related to the notice is a standard practice for managing compliance.

Newark, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 § 90-35 requires that any notice declaring a structure unfit for human habitation include a clear statement of when occupants must vacate, giving residents advance notice rather than an immediate, unexplained order to leave. The notice must also include information about the appeal process, which is a formal avenue through which the declaration can be challenged. Tenants who receive or see a placard posted under this provision may wish to review the written notice for the stated deadlines and appeal rights, and can consult a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
