Filing of copies
Operative Text
The City Clerk be and she hereby is authorized and directed to file a certified copy of this chapter in the offices of the New York State Attorney General in Albany, New York, and in New York City, New York.
Section 138-2 of Newburgh's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 138, establishes an administrative filing requirement: the City Clerk is directed to submit certified copies of the chapter to the New York State Attorney General's offices in both Albany and New York City. This is a procedural step that places the local rent regulation chapter on record with a state-level authority. The rule does not create substantive rights or obligations for landlords or tenants directly, but it ensures the ordinance is formally registered at the state level.
