A. The City of Newburgh shall have the jurisdiction to adopt or amend
ordinances and regulations, not inconsistent with any provisions of
law, regulating or prohibiting discharges into its publicly owned
or operated sewer systems or through its publicly owned or operated
wastewater treatment works and shall have the power to provide for
the enforcement of such ordinances and regulations by administrative
order imposing civil penalties not to exceed $1,000 per violation,
each day a violation continues being a separate violation, and to
provide for the enforcement of said penalties imposed as if they were
money judgments, without court proceedings, in the manner described
herein. Such enforcement authority may be delegated to the City Manager
or by him or her to any subordinate official of the City. After four
months from the issuance of such administrative order, a copy of such
order shall be filed in the office of the Clerk of the County. In
the event that the order was issued as a result of the respondent
being in default, a notice of default shall be mailed to such respondent,
by regular mail, at least seven days before such filing, and a copy
of such notice, with affidavit of service by mail thereon, shall be
filed with the copy of such order. Upon such filing, the County Clerk
shall enter and docket such order in the same manner and with the
same effect as a money judgment. Upon such entry and docketing, such
decision and order may be enforced as provided in Article 52 of the
Civil Practice Law and Rules.
B. No final decision or order shall be entered pursuant to Subsection
A of this section unless notice of such order shall have been served in the same manner as prescribed for service of process by Article
3 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules or Article
3 of the Business Corporation Law.
C. The authority granted herein shall be in addition to any other authority
otherwise granted by law.
