Dering Harbor, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 150 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 150-4
Findings
Operative Text
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Dering Harbor hereby determines and finds that group rentals or the rental, transfer, or sale of shares in the rental of property in the Village of Dering Harbor is hazardous, unsafe, unsanitary, and unhealthy, and interferes with the quality of life and total community environment and is not in conformance with acceptable building codes, fire laws, occupancy standards or Chapter 230 , Zoning, of the Code of the Village of Dering Harbor, or other laws of the Village of Dering Harbor, and is detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the residents and property owners of the Village of Dering Harbor and hereby enacts this chapter to protect the public health, safety and welfare of the Village, its property owners, residents and their guests.
Section 150-4 of Dering Harbor's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 150, sets out the Village Board of Trustees' formal findings that group rentals — and the rental, transfer, or sale of shares in a rental — are considered hazardous, unsanitary, and incompatible with local building, fire, occupancy, and zoning standards. These findings serve as the legislative basis and stated rationale for the regulations that follow in Chapter 150. The provision does not itself impose a specific requirement or prohibition but establishes the public-health and safety justifications that underpin the chapter as a whole.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in Dering Harbor should be aware that Chapter 150, § 150-4 reflects the Village's formal determination that group rental arrangements — including any sharing or subdivision of rental rights — are treated as inherently problematic under local law. Compliant operators generally avoid structuring tenancies as group rentals or share-based arrangements, and ensure that any rental activity conforms to the zoning, building, fire, and occupancy standards referenced in this section. Understanding these foundational findings helps operators appreciate why subsequent provisions in Chapter 150 are written and enforced as strictly as they are.
