Newark, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 90-43
Rules and regulations
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 local law of the Village of Newark, nor shall they have the effect of waiving any provisions of this chapter or any other local law. 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 local legislative body by the Code Enforcement Officer. Failure of the local legislative body 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 local legislative body, shall be on file and available as a matter of public record.
Under Newark, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 § 90-43, the Code Enforcement Officer has authority to create written rules and regulations to clarify and carry out the housing code chapter, provided those rules do not conflict with or waive any existing local law. Once drafted, the rules are submitted to the Village's legislative body, 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, meaning violations of those rules are treated the same as violations of the underlying code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Newark, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 § 90-43 should be aware that the Code Enforcement Officer may issue supplemental written rules that carry full code authority. Compliant operators generally monitor the Village's public records for any newly adopted rules and regulations, since approved rules are filed and available as public documents. Because violations of these administrative rules carry the same penalties as violations of the chapter itself, staying current with any updates is a standard part of responsible property management in Newark, N.Y.

Section 90-43 of Newark, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 gives tenants an important assurance: any rules the Code Enforcement Officer adopts must go through a public approval process and be made available as a matter of public record. This means tenants can request or review those rules to understand what standards apply to their housing. If a tenant believes a rule or the underlying chapter has been violated, general enforcement paths include raising the violation with the Code Enforcement Officer, consulting a tenant-rights organization, or exploring whether the violation can be raised as a defense in a relevant proceeding.
