Code enforcement compliance order copies to complainants
Summary
New York Assembly Bill A03126 would require local code enforcement agencies to provide complainants with copies of any compliance orders issued following their complaints about violations of the uniform fire prevention and building code or local codes. The bill passed the Assembly on March 30, 2026 and is currently pending in the Senate Housing, Construction and Community Development Committee.
What changed
Assembly Bill A03126 adds a procedural requirement to New York's code enforcement process. When a complainant reports a violation of the uniform fire prevention and building code or a local code, and the resulting investigation leads to issuance of a compliance order, the complainant must now receive a copy of that order. The bill has passed the Assembly (59-16 final vote) and is awaiting Senate committee action.
Local code enforcement agencies should monitor this bill's progress through the Senate. If enacted, agencies will need to update notification procedures to ensure complainants receive compliance order copies within existing timelines. Construction firms and property owners involved in code enforcement matters should be aware they will now have direct notification of compliance outcomes.
What to do next
- Monitor Senate Housing, Construction and Community Development Committee action on A03126
- Prepare updated notification procedures for code enforcement staff
- Review current complainant communication workflows for compliance with potential new requirements
