Section 192-3 of the Bronxville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances establishes the foundational vocabulary for Chapter 192 by defining three core terms. A 'dwelling unit' is a set of rooms equipped for living, cooking, sanitation, and sleeping by one family. A 'family' is any group of people sharing a home as a single housekeeping unit, and a 'multiple dwelling' is any building containing three or more such units.

Property owners and managers operating under Bronxville Code Chapter 192 should be familiar with the definitions set out in § 192-3, as these terms govern how the rest of the chapter applies to their properties. A building with three or more self-contained dwelling units qualifies as a 'multiple dwelling,' which may trigger additional regulatory obligations elsewhere in the chapter. Operators generally ensure that each unit they rent meets the definition of a 'dwelling unit' by providing adequate living, cooking, sanitary, and sleeping facilities.
