Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 186 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 186-2
Protections established
Operative Text
A. Except as otherwise provided in this article, all provisions set forth in Article 6-A of the Real Property Law and any amendments thereto are hereby adopted by the Village of Croton-on-Hudson. B. Pursuant to § 213(2)(a) of the Real Property Law, for the purposes of this Article and notwithstanding any default provision to the contrary, any unit on or within a housing accommodation shall be exempt from the provisions of this Article if such unit has a monthly rent above 345% of fair market rent, as calculated as provided in Article 6-A of the Real Property Law. C. Pursuant to § 213(2)(b) of the Real Property Law, for the purposes of this Article and notwithstanding any default provision to the contrary, the Village of Croton-on-Hudson defines "small landlord" to mean a landlord of no more than one unit anywhere in the state of New York. D. This article shall be enforceable as set forth in Article 6-A of the Real Property Law.
Section 186-2 of the Croton-on-Hudson Code of Ordinances formally adopts New York State's Article 6-A of the Real Property Law as the foundation for local tenant protections. Two local customizations are built in: rental units with monthly rents exceeding 345% of the applicable fair market rent are exempt from coverage, and the term 'small landlord' is defined locally as a landlord who owns no more than one rental unit anywhere in New York State. Enforcement of this article follows the mechanisms already established under Article 6-A of the Real Property Law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 186-2, property owners in Croton-on-Hudson are subject to the full framework of New York's Article 6-A of the Real Property Law unless a specific exemption applies. Operators who rent a single unit anywhere in New York State qualify as a 'small landlord' under this local definition, which may affect certain obligations or procedures under the article. Landlords whose units carry monthly rents above 345% of the applicable fair market rent should verify whether that high-rent exemption applies to their specific unit, as exempt units fall outside the article's protections.

Section 186-2 establishes that renters in Croton-on-Hudson are generally protected by the provisions of New York's Article 6-A of the Real Property Law, with two locally defined limits on coverage. Tenants whose rent exceeds 345% of the applicable fair market rent, or who rent from a landlord owning only one unit statewide, may find that different rules apply to their tenancy under this article. Tenants who believe their rights under § 186-2 have been violated can explore enforcement options available through Article 6-A of the Real Property Law, and may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider for guidance on available paths.
