Tuckahoe, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 12 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 12-146
Finding of hearing
Operative Text
After hearing held in accordance with §§ 12-144 and 12-145 of this chapter and on consideration of the evidence presented, the Board of Trustees shall sustain, modify or withdraw the notice. If the notice of violation is sustained or modified such decision shall be deemed a final order and shall be served as provided in § 12-141 of this chapter on the person or persons whom the Board of Trustees shall find to be responsible for the violation. Where there are practical difficulties or unreasonable hardships in the literal enforcement of the provisions of this chapter, the Board of Trustees shall have the power to authorize a variance from the provisions of this chapter, provided that the intent of this chapter shall be observed, with respect to the safeguarding of public health, safety, morals or welfare.
Section 12-146 of Tuckahoe's Code of Ordinances establishes what happens after a formal hearing under the village's housing regulations. Following the hearing process outlined in §§ 12-144 and 12-145, the Board of Trustees reviews the evidence and either upholds, modifies, or withdraws a previously issued notice of violation. If the notice is sustained or modified, that decision becomes a final order and is formally served on whoever the Board finds responsible. The Board also has authority to grant variances when strict enforcement would create practical difficulties or unreasonable hardships, as long as the public health, safety, morals, or welfare goals of the chapter are still met.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to a notice of violation in Tuckahoe should be aware that under § 12-146, the Board of Trustees' post-hearing decision carries the weight of a final order if the notice is sustained or modified. Compliant operators generally maintain thorough documentation of property conditions and corrective actions taken, which can be presented as evidence at the hearing. If literal compliance with the chapter's requirements poses genuine practical difficulties, operators may seek a variance from the Board, provided the underlying public health and safety objectives of the chapter are preserved.

Under § 12-146, tenants have an interest in the outcome of Board of Trustees hearings because a sustained or modified notice of violation becomes a binding final order served on the responsible party. This provision means that the hearing process can result in enforceable accountability for housing code violations affecting residents. Tenants who believe violations remain unaddressed after a hearing may consider contacting the Village of Tuckahoe directly, reviewing the final order for compliance timelines, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
