Newburgh, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 190 § 190-24
Extension of compliance time
Operative Text
The head of the code enforcement agency may extend the compliance time specified in any notice or order issued under the provisions of this chapter where there is evidence of intent to comply within the period specified, provided that reasonable conditions exist which prevent immediate compliance.
Under Newburgh, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 190 § 190-24, the head of the code enforcement agency has discretionary authority to grant additional time beyond what a notice or order originally specifies for achieving compliance. Two conditions must be present for an extension to be considered: the recipient must show a genuine intent to comply, and there must be reasonable circumstances that make immediate compliance impractical. This provision does not create an automatic right to an extension — it leaves the decision to the agency head's judgment.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to a notice or order under ch. 190 should be aware that § 190-24 allows the head of the code enforcement agency to grant a compliance extension when good-faith effort and reasonable obstacles are both demonstrable. Operators who document their remediation steps, contractor schedules, or supply delays tend to be better positioned to support a request for additional time. Maintaining clear records of progress and communication with the code enforcement agency is a practice consistent with demonstrating intent to comply.

Section 190-24 of Newburgh's Code of Ordinances means that a landlord's deadline to fix a cited violation can be pushed back by the code enforcement agency head — but only when specific conditions are met, including a showing of genuine intent to comply and reasonable barriers to immediate action. Tenants who are waiting on repairs tied to an outstanding notice or order may want to monitor whether an extension has been granted and whether conditions at the property are actually improving. Tenant-rights organizations or the local code enforcement office can be resources for understanding how an extension might affect an open complaint.
