Any suit brought against any officer, agent, or employee of the City as a
result of any act required or permitted in the discharge of his duties under
this chapter, shall be defended by the Corporation Counsel until the final
determination of the proceedings therein.
The Corporation Counsel shall, upon complaint of the Housing Code Inspector,
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, and all remedies

any and all of the others.
Any person or persons jointly or severally aggrieved by any final order
of the Housing Code Inspector may seek to have such order reviewed by the
Supreme Court in the manner prescribed by Article 78 of the Civil Practice
Law and Rules and as otherwise provided for in the laws of the State of New
