A 1902 amendment to the State Charities Law created the office of Fiscal Supervisor of State Charities to oversee the financial management and the condition of the buildings, grounds, and property of charitable institutions. The Fiscal Supervisor was authorized to require information from institutions in order to fulfill his mandate to report to the legislature on the funds needed by each institution and why the funds were needed.

The institution's first Visiting Agent was appointed in 1894, when the indenturing system was being replaced by the parole system of discharging inmates. The Visiting Agent visited the homes of new inmates and the home and prospective employer of each inmate to be paroled to ensure appropriate placement of the inmate; he made similar visits while the inmate was on parole to check on his progress. In 1901 Visiting Agents became Parole Agents.

The Board of Managers appointed the first Acting Committee at a meeting in November 1824, shortly after the first inmate was admitted.

The first Chairman of the Acting Committee was former mayor of New York City, Stephen Allen. According to the 1849 "Rules and Regulations," the Acting Committee consisted of 7 members of the Board of Managers, who served on a rotating basis. The Bylaws of 1854 changed its name to Executive Committee and reduced its membership to 3. At first the Committee met bi-weekly, then weekly, later monthly.

The Reception and Parole Committee of the NYHR Board of Managers interviewed new inmates regarding the causes of their commitment to the institution, their previous history, and their family relations; interviewed all inmates before their parole regarding their future conduct; and interviewed parole violators regarding their behavior while on parole and their eligibility for a second parole. The committee succeeded the Parole and Indenturing Committee in 1913; this committee had succeeded the Indenturing Committee in 1911, reflecting the changing discharge practices at the institution.

A law of 1929 established the New York State Training School for Boys as successor institution to the New York House of Refuge and authorized transfer of inmates to the new institution. Since the Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents was no longer serving its traditional function, it took steps toward dissolution under the Membership Corporations Law (a predecessor to the Not-For-Profit Corporations Law).

The 1867 law establishing the State Board of Charities (originally called the Board of Commissioners of Public Charities) authorized it to visit and inspect custodial institutions receiving state aid. A law of 1896 gave the Board oversight of houses of refuge and other juvenile institutions and authorized it to order the managers of such institutions to modify treatment of inmates or other conditions.
