Newburgh, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 190 § 190-42
Other remedies
Operative Text
The Corporation Counsel shall, upon complaint of the head of the code enforcement agency or upon his own motion, institute appropriate action to restrain, prevent, enjoin, abate, correct or remove such violation and take such other legal action as is necessary to carry out the terms and provisions of this chapter. The remedies provided for herein shall be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies provided by law. Any and all remedies may be pursued concurrently or consecutively, and the pursuit of any remedy shall not be construed as an election or waiver of the right to pursue any and all of the others.
Section 190-42 of Newburgh's Code of Ordinances authorizes the Corporation Counsel to take legal action — including seeking injunctions, abatements, or corrections — to address violations of Chapter 190. The remedies available under this provision are cumulative, meaning they can be used alongside any other legal remedies that exist under other laws. Pursuing one remedy does not prevent the simultaneous or sequential use of any other available remedy.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 190-42, property owners and managers should be aware that the City of Newburgh's Corporation Counsel holds broad authority to initiate legal proceedings — including restraining orders or injunctions — to address code violations. Because remedies are explicitly cumulative and non-exclusive, a single violation can trigger multiple simultaneous or sequential enforcement actions. Operators who maintain properties in compliance with Chapter 190 reduce their exposure to this layered enforcement framework.

Section 190-42 provides tenants with the assurance that enforcement of Newburgh's Chapter 190 is not limited to a single remedy or action — the Corporation Counsel can pursue multiple legal avenues at the same time or in sequence. Tenants who believe a code violation exists may file a complaint with the code enforcement agency, which can prompt the Corporation Counsel to act under this provision. Tenant-rights organizations in the Newburgh area can help residents understand what enforcement options may be available in a given situation.
