Operative Text
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter: A. A criminal proceeding charging a violation of §§ 190-45 , 190-46 , 190-50 , 190-51 and 190-57 of this chapter may be commenced by the issuance and service of an appearance ticket by a public servant pursuant to the Criminal Procedure Law of the State of New York. B. No notice of violation need be issued prior to the initiation of a criminal proceeding, nor shall any defendant have the right to demand an administrative hearing pursuant to § 190-28 in respect to alleged violations of §§ 190-45 , 190-46 , 190-50 , 190-51 and 190-57 of this chapter.
Newburgh, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 190 § 190-17 establishes an exception to the usual notice-and-hearing process for certain housing code violations. When a violation involves sections 190-45, 190-46, 190-50, 190-51, or 190-57, a public servant may initiate a criminal proceeding directly by issuing an appearance ticket under New York's Criminal Procedure Law. No prior notice of violation is required, and the accused does not have the right to request an administrative hearing under § 190-28 for those specific violations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 190-17, property owners and managers should be aware that violations of sections 190-45, 190-46, 190-50, 190-51, and 190-57 carry a heightened enforcement posture — a public servant can issue an appearance ticket and commence a criminal proceeding without first issuing a notice of violation. Compliant operators generally ensure that the specific conduct addressed in those sections is never triggered, since the ordinary administrative buffer of a notice-and-cure period does not apply. Familiarity with the substantive requirements of each of those referenced sections is a standard part of responsible property management in Newburgh.

Section 190-17 of Newburgh's housing code means that for violations of sections 190-45, 190-46, 190-50, 190-51, and 190-57, enforcement can move directly to a criminal proceeding against a landlord without the preliminary steps that apply to other violations. Tenants who believe their landlord is engaging in conduct covered by those sections may contact the City of Newburgh's code enforcement office to report conditions, since the law allows authorities to act swiftly. Consulting a local tenant-rights organization can help tenants understand which specific behaviors fall under those sections and what reporting options are available.
