Newburgh, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 190 § 190-10
Demolition of buildings
Operative Text
In the event that any condition prohibited by the provisions of this chapter requires the demolition of a building or other structure, the provisions of Chapter 125 pertaining to demolition of buildings shall apply.
Section 190-10 of Newburgh's Code of Ordinances establishes that when a prohibited condition under Chapter 190 is severe enough to necessitate demolition of a building or other structure, the process does not end there — the separate demolition rules found in Chapter 125 are automatically triggered and govern how that demolition proceeds. In effect, the two chapters work together: Chapter 190 identifies the violation, and Chapter 125 controls the mechanics of tearing the structure down. This cross-reference ensures a consistent legal framework applies whenever demolition becomes the required remedy.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners subject to a demolition order arising from a Chapter 190 violation should be aware that § 190-10 directs them into the separate procedural framework of Chapter 125, which contains its own requirements for how demolition must be carried out. Compliant operators typically familiarize themselves with both chapters so they understand the full scope of obligations before any work begins. Engaging qualified contractors and coordinating with the City of Newburgh early in the process is consistent with how operators generally navigate multi-chapter compliance situations like this one.

Under § 190-10, if a condition that violates Chapter 190 is serious enough to require demolition, tenants should know that Chapter 125's demolition rules come into play and may carry their own procedural protections. Tenants living in a building facing a demolition order can look into what rights and notices Chapter 125 affords them, and may find it helpful to contact a local tenant-rights organization familiar with Newburgh's ordinances. Raising the applicability of both chapters — and whether proper procedures were followed — can be a relevant consideration in any related housing proceeding.
