Newburgh, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 190 § 190-34
Order to vacate
Operative Text
Whenever a notice of violation as provided in § 190-33 of this chapter has not been complied with or where § 190-28 of this chapter has not been invoked, the head of the code enforcement agency may order the dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house or rooming unit to be vacated. A copy of such notice to vacate shall be served on the owner, agent, operator and the occupant as provided in § 190-16 of this chapter.
Section 190-34 of the Newburgh Code of Ordinances gives the head of the code enforcement agency authority to order a dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, or rooming unit to be vacated when a prior notice of violation under § 190-33 has gone uncorrected, or when the emergency repair process under § 190-28 has not been invoked. The vacate order must be formally served on the owner, agent, operator, and occupant according to the service procedures in § 190-16. This provision functions as an escalation mechanism within the city's housing code enforcement process, moving from notice to mandatory vacancy when violations remain unaddressed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 190-34, property owners and operators in Newburgh face the possibility of a formal vacate order if a notice of violation issued under § 190-33 is not resolved in a timely manner. Compliant operators generally respond promptly to any violation notices, document their remediation efforts, and maintain open communication with the code enforcement agency to demonstrate progress. Receiving a copy of a vacate order served under § 190-16 is a serious escalation, and operators typically work with the agency to understand what corrective steps are required before occupancy can resume.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 190-34 means that if your dwelling or unit has been subject to unresolved code violations, the head of Newburgh's code enforcement agency has the authority to order it vacated, and you are entitled to receive a copy of that order as an occupant under the service rules in § 190-16. Receiving a vacate order does not necessarily end your rights as a tenant, and tenants in this situation often consult local tenant-rights organizations or legal aid services to understand what options may be available. If you believe a vacate order was issued improperly or that violations were actually corrected, you may have grounds to raise that as a concern through the city's code enforcement process.
